Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Believing that every patient should have a "pain plan" if pain is to be adequately controlled, Cowles provides a comprehensive review of the techniques of pain management. She thoroughly discusses drug and surgical therapies, as well as biofeedback, massage, physical therapy, and heat/cold therapy. The types of pain she describes include acute and chronic pain; pain in infants, children, and adolescents; and pain caused by cancer and AIDS. Numerous checklists, pain assessment questionnaires, and lists of pain treatment centers make this a book to be consulted again and again by those in pain and those who care for them. Far superior to Richard Reilly's Living with Pain ( LJ 5/1/93); recommended for popular health collections.
