Product Description

Edited by Arthur G. Lipman

Pain Management for Primary Care Clinicians provides a practical, broad-based approach to treating pain in the primary care setting. Clinicians in every discipline (including physicians and physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, physical therapists, and anyone who provides primary care) will find this book a highly useful tool for identifying, assessing, and managing common types of pain.

Content is presented by a multi-disciplinary team of leaders in their individual fields, and addresses three common types of pain - acute pain, chronic pain associated with malignant disease, and chronic pain not associated with malignant disease. The book also includes coverage of special topics including management of pain caused by headaches and arthritis; drug interactions as they relate to analgesic therapy; pain management in pediatric and geriatric populations; legal and ethical issues; clinically relevant aspects of pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and behavioral therapy, and more.

Benefits:

• Empowers primary care clinicians to take a leadership role in pain management
• Provides the basic information necessary to make sound decisions on what can and should be done for patients referring with various pain problems - including how and when to seek consultation and make referrals
• Broadens perspectives on pain and pain management, including how to understand and deal effectively with patient pain problems, and improve clinical outcomes

References to detailed information are provided for all covered topics.

"This excellent book provides practical, up-to-date and useful information to practitioners who need to know how to deal with the everyday problems associated with patients wtih pain. Although the title makes reference to primary care clinicians the book is a valuable reference source for any healthcare practitioner working in any location dealing with patients with pain. It is well written, full of extremely useful information and completely up-to-date - an essential addition to any drug information unit or library." Healthcare Pharmacy, August 2004
