  • Summary

    Chronic pain is something that ALL medical professionals will encounter, no matter if they practice in primary care or a surgical/procedural specialty. Moreover, it is something that likely you will personally experience in your own life as well. To this point, we were not aware of a handbook that encapsulates the many pillars of Pain Medicine into a concise, easy-to-follow guide.

    As double board-certified Anesthesiologists and Interventional Pain Medicine Physicians, we believe we have created just that: an easy-to-utilize handbook that covers all the major areas of pain medicine that will undoubtedly help you in your medical careers.

    This handbook is appropriately set up in the following sections: Introduction to Pain and Pain Signaling Pathways, Common Categories of Pharmacologic Medications Utilized to Treat Chronic Pain, various Chronic Pain Conditions (in order from head and neck down to the lower extremities), Miscellaneous Pain Conditions, and finally Adjunctive/Complementary Modalities.

  • The practice of pain medicine has changed dramatically over the past few years. This practical and accessible evidence-based clinical handbook provides medical and nursing professionals with in-depth and up-to-date information on the various types of chronic pain, the underlying causes, and associated symptoms. Focused primarily on the management of chronic pain, the book covers the major chronic pain conditions in the head and neck, spine, and extremities. Also, it provides invaluable guidance on various pain management techniques, including medication, physical therapy, and psychological interventions. With this knowledge, healthcare professionals will be equipped to provide more effective and compassionate care, improve patients' quality of life, and reduce the risk of chronic pain and opioid dependence. An invaluable resource for pain medicine physicians, anesthesiologiests, primary care physicians, emergency medicine physicians, and nurse anaesthetists as well as those physicians preparing for US Board certification and recertification exams.
