Jessica Kingsley Publishers Chronic Pain: A Resource for Effective Manual
Book SynopsisThe effective management of pain is a problem which confronts all manual therapists. This book provides a clear picture of our current understanding of pain mechanisms and shows how that knowledge should inform approaches to treatment. The knowledge of pain science that the book conveys will help the therapist select the best approach to the clinical management of each patient. Different types of pain disorder may require different management strategies which may involve only one discipline or, at other times, a multidisciplinary team which may also include medical clinicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, nurses and other healthcare practitioners as well as manual therapists. The book is divided into three parts: An introduction to the concept of pain and its neurophysiological mechanisms. A review and discussion of current and potential evidence-based evaluation methods. A review and discussion of common types of functional pain disorders.This approach provides readers with a comprehensive reference to evidence-based information that should enable them to manage their clients'' pain as effectively as possible.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Pain Management
Book SynopsisConventional pharmaceutical approaches to pain management are not always successful. Using only those medications that have an official indication for a certain condition reduces substantially the chance of the patient gaining pain relief and may expose them to intolerable side effects. However evidence now exists on the use of other drugs, produced for non-pain conditions, and how they can substantially increase the chances of pain relief. Covering the most recent developments in this field, McCleane offers an alternative solution to pain treatment when conventional treatments fail. This pioneering book proposes evidence-based alternatives to current options in pain management, using well-grounded rationales for each given treatment. This book is an ideal reference for the specialist and non-specialist prescriber alike and for practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines. It provides the evidence required and treatment algorithms for readers to use the drugs apprTrade Review“The author is clearly an expert in all of the topics covered in the book. It is one of the few books that offers a well informed, thoughtful discussion of the off-label use of a wide variety of drugs in the treatment of pain and is a valuable addition to the literature. This is a terrific quick reference that should be readily available in any clinic where patients with pain are managed.” (Doody's Book Reviews, November 2008)Table of ContentsForeword. 1 Introduction. 2 Conventional Pain Treatment. 3 Using Drugs Outside Their Licensed Indication.

Not only did he accomplish his task of getting me to the start line and finish line healthy, he helped me (a former run hater) become someone who loves to run and who has a healthy relationship with the sport. Not an easy task! Jonathan Cane, Emmi Aguillard, and Allison Goldstein are three of the best at what they do.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Pathogenesis of Neuropathic Pain: Diagnosis and
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive source on the pathogenic origins of neuropathic pain covers the detailed molecular bases of the currently known neuropathies as classified by their pathogenic origins.Filling a critical need, this book fills the need for a resource on a syndrome that demands improved understanding by clinicians and researchers alike so that treatment options for patients are not categorically limited to a pill or a needle. If the clinician understands the origins of a patients' neuropathic pain, they can work cooperatively toward improving it with tailored therapies that don't create societal diseconomies and that ultimately are effective in helping patients.The book presents in detail the molecular bases of some currently known neuropathies by their pathogenetic origins, allowing clinicians to tailor more specific and more effective treatment regimens for their patients. For basic researchers, this book is a general resource to better direct research on neuropathy-specific molecular mechanisms. The improved understanding of the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain can then be used to develop more specific and more effective manipulations of these pathways.Table of Contents

Springer International Publishing AG Essentials of Interventional Cancer Pain
Book SynopsisThis text provides a comprehensive review and expertise on various interventional cancer pain procedures. The first part of the text addresses the lack of consistency seen in the literature regarding interventional treatment options for specific cancer pain syndromes. Initially, it discusses primary cancer and treatment-related cancer pain syndromes that physicians may encounter when managing cancer patients. The implementation of paradigms that can be used in treating specific groups of cancer such as breast cancer, follows. The remainder of the text delves into a more common approach to addressing interventional cancer pain medicine. After discussing interventional options that are commonly employed by physicians, the text investigates how surgeons may address some of the more severe pain syndromes, and covers the most important interventional available for our patients, intrathecal drug delivery. Chapters also cover radiologic options in targeted neurolysis and ablative techniques, specifically for bone metastasis, rehabilitation to address patients’ quality of life and function, and integrative and psychological therapies. Essentials of Interventional Cancer Pain Management globally assesses and addresses patients’ needs throughout the cancer journey. Written by experts in the field, and packed with copious tables, figures, and flow charts, this book is a must-have for pain physicians, residents, and fellows.Table of ContentsPart I: Perspectives on Cancer Pain Medicine.- Perspectives on Interventional Cancer Pain Management.- The Practice of Cancer Pain: A Case Series.- Part II: Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Pathophysiology of Cancer Cancer Pain.- Chemotherapy.- Post-Surgical Pain Syndromes.- Radiation-Induced Pain Syndromes.- Part III: Paradigms in Cancer Pain Syndromes.- General Pain Management Concepts.- Head and Neck.- Breast Cancer Pain: A Review of Pathology and Interventional Techniques.- Thoracic Cancer Pain.- Gastrointestinal Cancer Pain.- Genitourinary Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Pediatrics.- Pain in Hematologic Malignancies.- Dermatologic Cancer Pain Syndromes.- Part IV: Percutaneous Pain Techniques and Anatomy.- Ablative Techniques.- Sympathetic Nervous System Blocks for the Treatment of Cancer Pain.- Peripheral Nerve Blocks.
