DESCRIPTION
To complement the 2016 IASP Global Year Against
Pain in the Joints
, Pain
in the Joints provides a comprehensive overview of joint pain, including its
assessment, mechanisms, and treatment options. Leading experts address
general concepts as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges presented
by this complex and growing problem that affects millions of people worldwide.
Of interest to pain scientists and all clinicians involved in perioperative care and
the management of chronic pain, this state-of-the-art volume discusses the
basic science of joint pain and applies this knowledge to a better understanding
of clinical joint pain conditions – from neurophysiology, genetics, and the pathophysiology of ongoing
nociception to pain persistence and chronic pain development.

DESCRIPTION
Ideal for anyone with an interest in the increasing role of brain imaging in
understanding pain perception and pain mechanisms, this unique, full-color
resource thoroughly covers technical advances in the field as well as potential
new applications. Dozens of worldwide experts first demystify the technological
concepts that are crucial for proper understanding and interpretation of
neuroimaging findings, then explore new advances in understanding brain
mechanisms of pain, in human as well as animal models.
