Many patients suffer from problems in their muscles or nerves in
combination with pain. This book is about the complex interplay
between the causes of these problems and the puzzle they pose. Pain
is the subjective experience of a psychophysical phenomenon arising
from a defined area in the body. It is a cry for help and
challenges the physician to ask the right questions and to carry
out the right examinations. If they succeed in doing so, the
patient's signs and symptoms will be translated into the present
knowledge of pain concepts to initiate appropriate therapy. With
this goal in mind, this book summarizes the latest scientific
information on pain states and their mechanisms. It provides a
deeper understanding of the different pain conditions and allows
physicians to form strategies for better pain therapy. The second
edition includes more graphs, tables, and illustrations. It is
updated with the current and dynamically expanding knowledge on the
therapy of several disease states and explains in more detail the
processing of pain in the central nervous system. When puzzling
symptoms of sensory, motor, and autonomic deficits are evident, an
examination has to be performed systematically in order to reach
the correct diagnosis. This calls for suitable anatomical
knowledge. Depending on where a lesion exists within a peripheral
nerve, the root or the plexus, typical patterns of paralysis can be
detected. Numerous illustrations in the book help physicians to
more easily understand and solve problems of peripheral nerve and
root injuries and their sequelae in their daily work.
