Principles of Health: Pain Management, the first title in Salem’s
new Principles of Health series, discusses the branch of medicine
that deals with causes, evaluation, prevention and treatment of
pain across medical specialties. The content of this single volume
work discuss pain as both a symptom and a primary disease.
This book provides an original account of behavioral aspects with
important ramifications for the study of transient receptor
potential (TRP) channels functioning. It explains, in terms of
specified somato-sensory mechanisms and systems, how TRP channels
work. Through exploration of animal models by testing paw
withdrawal reflexes to thermal and mechanical stimuli, it is shown
that TRP channels are promising targets for the development of a
new group of analgesic drugs at the periphery and central levels
and opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
