Conventional medical practice leaves a lot of pain unrelieved. This pain can become chronic and its management has become a new specialty in medicine. This book provides an up-to-date account of how to deal with the major chronic pain syndromes, including back pain, body and myofascial pain, malignant diseases, neurogenic pain, and headaches. It covers the background knowledge required in practice, and gives clear and concise advice on managing patients who suffer chronic pain. In straightforward language, the book provides the essential practical information required for effective patient management. The book will appeal to trainee doctors and anaesthetists, hospice staff and those involved in palliative care. GPs, junior medical staff and nurses who wish to acquire a working knowledge of the activities of a pain clinic will also find this a useful source of information.
