This book is an in depth guide to chronic and neuropathic pain. The
issue of chronic and neuropathic pain is very prevalent, yet only a
fraction of the symptoms and root causes, as well as potential
treatment plans, are properly understood. Additionally, less than
half of cases are accurately identified and properly treated. The
existing drugs, although classified as very strong and powerful,
cannot provide lasting relief to chronic and neuropathic pain.
Thus, with all the unique features of this condition, this book
presents a systematic way of diagnosing and approaching this
condition so every practitioner can appropriately treat their
patients. In addition to introducing key concepts, like
classification of chronic pain and the challenges patients and
practitioners face when dealing with and treating chronic and
neuropathic pain, this book also covers different syndromes that
can lead to neuropathic pains. It discusses how to monitor progress
by using outcome measures, the presence of chronic and neuropathic
pain in children and young adults, and the pathophysiology of
neuropathic pain as it relates to the release of pro-inflammatory
cytokines. Interestingly, the latter is not presently addressed
except with the usual pain drugs for general pain-this book aims to
revolutionize the approach to chronic and neuropathic pain by
exploring it separately from the clinical approach to general pain.
It is interesting to note that these cytokines require a specific
mode of action if we want to neutralize them in our system, and
this concept will be discussed in the regenerative intervention
sections. Since it is so necessary to address the many factors to
chronic and neuropathic pain as laid out in the proposed table of
contents, it is also critical include as varied authors as possible
to address this condition from all areas being covered. The team
assembled to author the chapters included in this text come from
diverse backgrounds of practice and clinical and research
interests, from physical medicine and rehabilitation to
anesthesiology to radiology and interventional pain medicine. This
is an ideal guide for all clinicians caring for patients with
chronic and neuropathic pain.
