This latest edition provides a thorough overview of the neural mechanisms of pain. Relying on the latest basic and clinical research, a comprehensive approach to patient evaluation and current treatment strategies develop in this text. Subjects covering the sensory transmission system, pain modulation, and analgesic treatment modalities are discussed. Dozens of supplementary tables, figures, and illustrations summarize key information and further reinforce important clinical points.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Pain Syndromes in Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of painful conditions associated with dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system. It discusses advances in three areas: first, the normal anatomy and physiology of pain; second, the pathophysiology of damaged sensory neurons; and third, the diagnosis and treatment of patients with neuropathic pain. The book begins with a discussion of neural mechanisms relevant to pain perception along with a brief review of neuropathic pain. This is followed by separate chapters on hyperalgesia following cutaneous injury; the importance of peripheral processes in the etiology of neuropathic and radiculopathic pain; and mechanisms by which sympathetic efferent fibers contribute to the occurrence of pain. Subsequent chapters cover the diagnosis and treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy; pain in generalized neuropathies; surgical treatment of pain; clinical features and management of postherpetic neuralgia; diagnosis of cancer pain syndromes; and drugs in the management of chronic pain.
