5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for clinical pain assessment and management!, January 5, 2000

By	Devin J. Starlanyl (W. Chesterfield, NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"PAIN: Clinical Manual" 2nd edition, is a book that should be thoroughly read (and used) by health care providers who deal with pain patients. This book addresses many myths and misconceptions surrounding pain, and explains the mechanisms of pain. It supplies pain management techniques, both medicinal and non-medicinal. The text and charts are comprehensive and clear. I appreciate the permissions for use of the charts, and will be using them for pain assessment in clincial studies. Education in pain assessment and management is generally lacking in medical education. This book supplies much of that needed knowledge. My thanks to the authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Book For Those Caring for Patients in Pain, January 3, 2000

By	James E. Hagen (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

Ms.McCaffery and Ms.Pasero's excellent tome on the realms of our population suffering from pain is one of the finest I have ever read.

I am a physiologist that has been active in the care of pain patients for many years. What the authors have provided us is an amazing compulation of help, scientific and clinical pearls that will help us help others.

PLEASE purchase this excellent book if you are a health care provider who deals with pain issues, or a patient or family member who deals with a patient experiencing chronic pain.

Pain is an invisable disease. The authors examine all elements of treatment of a complete realm of pain conditions and treatment options.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pain: Clinical Manual, June 5, 2000

By	Daniel Bennett, MD, DABPM (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

It is not often one finds a text that is useful on a day to day basis. This text is truly a gem in providing information for physicians, nurses, technicians and other personnel who deal with people living with pain on a day to day basis. Numerous charts, diagrams, understandable explanations are attractive. The amount of reproducible information alone (patient education materials, pain evaluation assessment tools, etc.) make this book a MUST HAVE!!!
