Description:
Bonica's Management of Pain is the "gold standard" text in pain management. This is the first and only textbook to take a comprehensive and practical approach to all areas of pain management, including its psychological issues. From cancer and surgical pain to visceral pain, this book covers diseases, treatments, causes, and effects. The first of three parts covers the fundamental aspects of pain, its anatomy, physiological and psychological bases. The second part addresses the techniques that alleviate pain and, though the primary focus is on analgesic block, other methods are covered. Clinical impressions and observations of diseases and disorders with painful syndromes constitute the third part of the book.
This is the fully updated edition of the gold standard in the understanding, causes, and treatment of pain. Dr. John Bonica is considered the "father of pain management" and wrote the first edition of this classic text over 40 years ago. Now in its third edition, the book covers every type of pain and its treatment. There is also new comprehensive data on the incidence, prevalence, emotional and behavioral aspects, and economic and social impact on the patient, family, and society of virtually any acute and chronic pain.
New edition of a text that discusses the fundamental aspects of pain, the various diseases and disorders in which pain constitutes a major problem, and the methods employed in its management, with special emphasis on the use of analgesic block as an aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. Loeser (neurological surgery and anesthesiology, U. of Washington School of Medicine) presents 110 contributions that address the fundamental aspects of pain (historical information, terms, general considerations, and various physical and psychological aspects); evaluation of the pain patient; generalized pain syndromes (neuropathic, vascular, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and acute pain, malignant diseases, and pain in the young and elderly); regional pains; and methods for symptomatic control.
