Written by high-profile, internationally recognized experts in field, Pain Treatment for Acute and Chronic Conditions: A Comprehensive Handbook is one of the first manuals of its kind to provide balanced and comprehensive coverage of pain medicine modalities. The book is structured into sixteen sections with each chapter providing key points for quick reference, followed by a more detailed overview of the topic at hand with extensive tables and figures to illustrate. Beautifully laid out and extensively furnished with both research and experience, this book is a necessary resource in the field of pain medicine.

Reviews

“This book is a good reference for all physicians practicing pain medicine. … I congratulate the editors and contributors for putting together an informative and useful book on chronic pain.” (Kazuhiro Watanabe, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 126 (5), May,2018)



“This brief overview practically covers all chronic pain topics and all techniques in the management of chronic pain. … The focus is on multidisciplinary chronic pain management. Prime audiences are pain fellows, pain practitioners, and even primary care physicians who deal with patients with chronic pain on daily basis. … It can serve as a refresher for those taking a certifying pain exam.” (Tariq M. Malik, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2017)
