PY - 2016 T2 - Principles and Practice of Pain Medicine, 3e AB - Understanding the anatomy and physiology of pain transmission systems is important for the pain management specialist because it informs diagnostic and treatment decisions for the common pain syndromes for which patients seek help (e.g., diabetic neuropathy and migraine headache). Interventions to provide the relief the patient seeks (nerve blocks, implantable devices) are available at distinct anatomic sites. As ongoing research reveals new modalities and pharmaceutical agents to provide relief, the provider with this knowledge base will better understand their mechanism and application. Designed as an overview to be read in one sitting, the clinician will find it an efficient way to review the large body of knowledge acquired in medical school and residency.
