Chronic pain is a major cause of distress, disability, and work
loss, and it is becoming increasingly prevalent through the general
move towards an ageing population, which impacts dramatically upon
society and health care systems worldwide. Due to improvements in
health care, it is becoming more common for patients to continue
living with long-term illness or disease (rather than these being
terminal). Yet little attention has been paid to chronic pain as a
public health problem or to the potential for its prevention, even
though it can be studied and assessed using concepts and ideas from
classical epidemiology.
This book takes an unusual approach in making a symptom the focus
of public health research and policy. Written by leaders in the
field of pain, it fills a gap in current literature by presenting
chronic pain in terms of cause, impact, consequence and prevention.
It presents individual conditions as examples of chronic pain,
together with chapters that provide overviews on the assessment of
pain and methodological issues behind population assessment.
Chronic Pain Epidemiology - From Aetiology to Public Health
provides an invaluable framework and basis for thinking about
chronic pain and the potential for its prevention in public health
terms. It will appeal to readers from public health, epidemiology
and policy perspectives, and those involved in the treatment of
pain - such as pain researchers, clinicians and specialists. It
will also be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students
studying pain management, public health, and epidemiology.
