Beschreibungen

Chronic pain is a very common problem, impacting on many patients. Assessment and management can be challenging. The <i>ABC of Pain</i> focuses on the pain management issues often encountered in primary care. <p>Covering major chronic pain presentations, such as musculoskeletal pain, low back pain and neuropathic pain, the <i>ABC of Pain</i> also provides guidance on the management of pain in pregnancy, children, older adults, drug dependency and the terminally ill. Beginning with an overview of the epidemiology of chronic pain, pain mechanisms and the assessment of pain, it then provides practical guidance on interventional procedures and methods of effective pain management.</p> <p>The <i>ABC of Pain</i> is a comprehensive, evidence-based reference. It is ideal for GPs, junior doctors, nurse specialists in primary care, palliative care specialists, and also hospital and hospice staff managing chronically and terminally ill patients.</p>
