Description

This accessibly written book examines the most commonly used substances and techniques for managing pain, exploring why they work (or don't), their risks and benefits, and key research findings regarding their use. No one is a stranger to pain. From sudden injuries to post-operative discomfort to nagging aches and stiffness, pain is an unwelcome but familiar part of life.

There are numerous methods for managing pain, but it can be difficult to know which is the best fit and to separate truth from hype. Pain Management: Fact versus Fiction examines 30 well-known options for combating pain, whether acute or chronic.

Utilizing a standardized structure, each entry discusses a particular substance or technique's origins and underlying principles, how and in what context it's used, and its advantages and disadvantages.

Summaries of key research studies are included to help readers better determine which treatments may be a good choice for them.

Introductory materials give readers a foundational understanding of what pain is, how it's categorized and measured, and the impact it can have on individualS’ physical and psychological well-being.

A Further Reading section at the end of each entry points readers toward additional resources to expand and deepen their knowledge.
