Patients with chronic pain present a unique set of challenges to the primary care clinician. In Chronic Pain: A Primary Care Guide to Practical Management, Second Edition, leading pain specialist Dawn A. Marcus, MD, again offers practical, clear, and succinct evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of the myriad painful conditions clinicians see in their offices every day, such as headache, back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and abdominal pain. Sections addressing pain management in children, pregnant women, and seniors are also included. This new edition is designed to provide a pragmatic approach to assessing and treating the complex issues and characteristics of chronic pain patients. New chapters expand upon the evidence-based recommendations and practical office tools previously provided, with the addition of new chapters addressing risk management; pain syndromes in the shoulder, upper extremity, and lower extremity; and cancer and end-of-life pain. Of special value, the charting forms and patient educational materials on CD-ROM have been expanded to include ready-to-use screening tools for depression and anxiety, neuropathic pain tools, and fibromyalgia assessment tools. Chronic Pain: A Primary Care Guide to Practical Management, Second Edition provides strategies and techniques that are designed to improve the confidence with which the primary care physician can approach patients with complex pain complaints, reduce staff stress, and improve patient success.

Current Pain D&T will represent the first clinical and truly management oriented book on pain medicine. It will cover with equal breadth and depth the management of the full array of both acute and chronic pain conditions. What will be especially unique about the approach here will be its ability to convey management strategies that correlate the severity of pain with the level of therapeutic intervention required to assuage it. The full array of drug treatment and analgesic strategies will be discussed in detail, and often-conveyed through a detailed management algorithm in each chapter. The treatment of pain has also become very much a multi-disciplinary effort in recent years, and this will be reflected by the fact that our editorial board on this volume includes a pain medicine specialist, internist, and a nurse practitioner.

There are few things as debilitating to the body and soul as chronic pain. "The physical and emotional suffering that accompanies chronic pain tries the body and the mind, and tests the limits of the spirit and the self," writes David Drumm.

This book is an empowering tool for taking action to help yourself, managing your attitude as well as your pain, and discovering how you can live life as fully and joyously as your condition allows. The book discusses the treatment of chronic pain, including how it is different from acute pain, the physiology and causes of pain, and how your mental outlook and emotions can make your pain either better or worse. It covers how exercise, nutrition, stress-reduction, medications, and social/spiritual support can help. Case studies of the experiences of people living with chronic pain add a human element. Plenty of tips, guidelines, and exercises for dealing with pain make this book immediately useful. If you (or a loved one) experience chronic pain, whatever its cause, this book will certainly teach something new, helpful, and hopeful.
