Summary
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.
