Practical Pain Management

This book guides busy clinicians in choosing practical, evidence-based methods for diagnosing and treating patients with orofacial pain. Each pain condition is introduced with a brief overview of its biologic basis; this is followed by a review of selected treatments accompanied by clinical evidence of their advantages and disadvantages. A dual focus on acute and chronic pain helps clinicians recognize when to treat and when to refer. The final section of the book presents clinical scenarios that offer practical recommendations for establishing the differential diagnosis and developing an effective treatment plan.Hargreaves, Kenneth M. is the author of 'Practical Pain Management' with ISBN 9780867154443 and ISBN 0867154446.
