Description
Pain management is a distinct and growing area of clinical medicine that encompasses many diverse components from other medical and scientific specialties. Wall & Melzacks Textbook of Pain provides the researcher and physician with an authoritative and comprehensive overview of almost every aspect of pain whether it be basic science or clinical. Divided into three section:: Basic Aspects, Clinical States, and Therapeutic Aspects, the book deals with the neurophysiology, psychology and measurement of a wide range of pain syndromes (chronic back pain, cancer pain, head pain, obstetric pain) as well as the pharmacologic, surgical, electrostimulative, physiotherapeutic and psychological management of pain. The title was highly commended at the 2006 BMA Medical Book Competition.
