Specialists estimate that as many as 60 million Americans suffer
from chronic pain, and approximately 20 percent of the population
in most developed countries reports having chronic pain. According
to one study, chronic back pain alone afflicts more than four
million Americans, and nearly 50 percent of these are disabled by
it. Pain is the most frequent cause of disability in the United
States, with as many as 50 million Americans on short- or long-term
disability leave from work at any one time. As these figures
suggest, chronic pain is extremely difficult to treat
successfully-it is a complex and baffling phenomenon, poorly
understood even in the medical centers devoted to its diagnosis and
treatment. In Heal the Pain, Comfort the Spirit Dorene O'Hara, an
anesthesiologist with extensive training in pain management and
clinical pharmacology, explores treatment techniques developed over
many years of studying, treating, and lecturing on chronic pain.
She also examines the important contributions made by other
clinical professionals and by practitioners of alternative
medicine. Combining a general survey of the forms of pain therapy
with suggestions for how patients can find the most appropriate
treatment plan for themselves, Heal the Pain, Comfort the Spirit
provides needed answers for pain sufferers as well as
practitioners.
