A unique reference on peripheral pain receptor mechanisms
While considerable advances have been made on pharmacotherapies
for many chronic disease states, options available to treat chronic
pain have remained relatively unchanged for decades. However,
utilizing the receptors involved in peripheral pain transduction
mechanisms offers a significant opportunity to create novel
therapies for pain.
A comprehensive review of peripheral pain mechanisms,
"Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia: Novel Approaches to
Pain Management" provides a unique resource that brings together a
body of knowledge that was previously widely dispersed. As such, it
gives readers a framework for further basic and clinical studies on
potential receptor targets, as well as the development of improved
topical analgesics.
Coverage includes:
The latest discoveries by leading researchers relating to the
function of various ion channels and receptors in the peripheral
nervous system
Novel delivery techniques
An appendix listing currently available topical analgesic
medications
A Foreword by Professor Lars Arendt-Nielsen of the Center for
Sensory-Motor Interaction (SMI) at Aalborg University
An unmatched resource for improving drug therapies and making
pain management more efficient, "Peripheral Receptor Targets for
Analgesia" supplies pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists,
neuroscientists, and graduate and upper-level undergraduate
students with a comprehensive, up-to-date reference.
