Principles and Practice of Pain Medicine 3rd Edition

by Carol A. Warfield, Zahid H. Bajwa, R. Joshua Wootton

Overview

The leading textbook in pain management – updated with the latest research and developments

"This is an excellent, comprehensive textbook on all aspects of pain and is recommended for physicians in all specialties who deal with pain patients." -- reviewing earlier edition in Anesthesia & Analgesia.

This concise yet comprehensive text is a true one-stop resource for anesthesiologists and specialists in pain medicine. Every aspect of diagnosing and treating specific pain conditions and syndromes are covered, including physiology, physical and laboratory diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. While thorough and encompassing the entire curriculum of clinical pain management, the book has been carefully edited to be a manageable length and not overwhelming to readers.

Reflecting the fact that pain medicine is a true multidisciplinary specialty, a new co-editor who is a pain psychologist at Beth Israel Deaconess has been added. The third edition also features a greater emphasis on risk management and an updated Interventional Pain Section highlighted by an increased number of figures and a stronger clinical focus.

• Key clinical concepts are summarized at the end of each chapter
• Numerous tables and figures highlight the most important concepts and procedures
