文档介绍：CORE TOPICS IN PAIN
Core Topics in Pain provides prehensive, easy-to-read introduction to this multi-faceted topic. It covers a wide
range of issues from the underlying neurobiology, through pain assessment in animals and humans, diagnostic strate-
gies, clinical presentations, pain syndromes, to the many treatment options (for example, physical therapies, drug ther-
apies, psychosocial care) and the evidence base for each of these. Written and edited by experts of international renown,
the many concise prehensive chapters provide the reader with an up-to-date guide to all aspects of pain.
It is an essential book for anaesthetic trainees and is also an invaluable first reference for surgical and nursing staff,
ICU professionals, operating department practitioners, physiotherapists, psychologists, healthcare managers and
researchers with a need for an overview of the key aspects of the topic.
