This eighteenth volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese
Medicine series aims to provide a multi-faceted 'whole evidence'
analysis of the management of pain due to a range of cancers
(cancer pain) using integrative Chinese medicine.Beginning with an
overview of how cancer pain is conceptualised and managed in
conventional medicine, the authors then summarise the differential
diagnosis and managment of cancer pain in contemporary Chinese
medicine based on clinical guidelines and contemporary books. The
third chapter provides detailed analyses of how cancer pain and
related disorders were treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture
in past eras based on the classical Chinese medical literature.The
subsequent chapters comprehensively review the current state of the
clinical trial evidence for the integrative application of Chinese
herbal medicines (Chapter 5), acupuncture (Chapter 7), other
Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 8) and combination Chinese
medicine therapies (Chapter 9) in the management of cancer pain, as
well as analyse and evaluate the results of these studies from an
evidence-based medicine perspective. Chapter 6 reviews and
summarises experimental evidence for the bioactivity of commonly
used Chinese herbs and their constituent compounds. The outcomes of
these analyses are summarised and discussed in Chapter 10 which
alsoidentifies implications for the clinical practice of Chinese
medicine and for future research.This book can inform clinicians
and students in the fields of integrative medicine and Chinese
medicine regarding contemporary practice and the current evidence
base for a range of Chinese medicine therapies used in the
management of cancer pain, including herbal formulas and
acupuncture treatments, in order to assist clinicians in making
evidence-based decisions in patient care. It also provides
researchers with a comprehensive summary of the state of the field
than can inform future.The following features mark the importance
