Neuropathic Pain

A Case-Based Approach to Practical Management

Herausgeber: Cheng, Jianguo

Beschreibung

Neuropathic pain is one of the most common, most debilitating, most costly, and most difficult to treat categories of chronic pain conditions that are characterized by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. This book integrates all the critical elements around individual patient care into a coherent management strategy that is practical and applicable to daily clinical practice. The overarching goal is to improve clinical outcomes through betterunderstanding of the mechanisms, more accurate diagnosis, and wiser and more comprehensive treatment strategies.
