About this title

Review:

"A pain medicine specialist, an internist, and a nurse practitioner (all. affiliated with Northwestern U. School of Medicine) present this clinical. quick reference for students and practitioners dealing with common pain. conditions, both acute and chronic. The first chapters discuss current. issues in management, assessment, and diagnosis (including for the cognitively. impaired); pharmacological, interventional, and psychological. treatments; rehabilitation issues; and addictive diseases. The remaining. chapters treat topics including pain in the elderly, osteoarthritis, cancer, . AIDS and sickle-cell anemia, the chest, the back and neuropathic pain, . and fibromyalgia. Algorithms and charts guide diagnosis and treatment.. End-of-life and legal and regulatory issues are also addressed.,"

"To provide a quick reference source for the primary care physician is an extremely worthy objective. By keeping everything simple and practical, the authors have successfully achieved their goal....This book is practical and succinct, providing clear information and a stepwise approach to dealing with various clinical situations. There are quite a few books available on pain, but none that specifically target primary care physicians that provide them with practical information to manage their patients. 3 Stars."--"Doody's Review Service,"
