Descripcion: The perfect reference for neurologists and neurology residents! This book takes a comprehensive, in-depth look at pain from physiological underpinnings to ethical and legal issues, while emphasizing the need for hands-on clinical and diagnostic solutions.
Pappagallo (neurology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, chronic pain, Beth Israel Medical Center) compiles the latest work from international contributors on the scientific basis of pain medicine, issues related to the pain physician, pain syndromes and disorders, and therapies. Some topics examined include opioid pharmacology, brain imaging of pain, pain in children and the elderly, chronic daily headaches, and neurosurgical approaches to the treatment of pain. While the book is addressed to neurologists, a variety of professionals, including pain specialists, residents, fellows, and clinicians from a range of medical fields, will benefit from it.
