Pain is a universal human experience, but acute and chronic pain
has both physical and psychological effects. For that reason the
World Health Organisation recognised pain relief as a basic human
right. Orofacial pain is seen as particularly damaging - deemed
'inescapable' by its sufferers. This book takes a problem-based
learning approach to orofacial pain, focusing on neuropathic
trigeminal pain and persistent temporomandibular disorder. Topics
covered include symptomology of several types of orofacial pain,
pain progression and the psychosocial factors involved in pain.
Each chapter includes detailed patient cases illustrating how to
identify relevant physical changes and psychometric tests to
measure levels of depression, anxiety and stress in the clinical
situation. The book aims to enable clinicians to gain a better
understanding of patient pain, to reassure the patient that they
are understood and to build an effective pain management strategy,
recognising the biopsychosocial nature of pain.
