In this book, the authors have placed culture in the forefront of
their approach to study pain in an integrative manner. Culture
should not be considered solely for knowing more about patients'
values, beliefs, and practices. It should be studied with the
purpose of unveiling its effects upon biological systems and the
pain neuromatrix. The book discusses how a multidisciplinary and
integrative approach to pain and analgesia should be considered.
Some familiarity with the cultural background of patients and
awareness of the provider's own cultural characteristics will allow
the pain practitioner to better understand patients' values,
attitudes and preferences. Knowledge of patients' cultural
practices will allow determining the impact of culture on
biological processes, including the origin and development of
pain-related disease, and the patients' response to pharmacological
and non-pharmacological treatments. Acknowledging the interactions
of molecules, genes and culture could yield a more appropriate and
effective personalized pain medicine. Furthermore, this approach
has the potential to transform the way pain medicine is taught to
young students and future pain professionals, and in so doing meet
the need of trained clinicians who are versed in multiple
disciplines and are able to use an integrative approach to diagnose
and treat pain. A personalized medicine will have non-negligible
positive effects in improving doctor patient relationships, patient
satisfaction, adherence to treatment plans, and health outcomes and
inequities. It is hoped that the material in this volume will
appeal to a broad cross-section of health practitioners, students
and academicians, including pain medicine specialists,
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental health,
community and public health workers, health policy makers, and
health administrators.
