Pain Management: Pharmacological and Complementary Therapies - Hardcover

by Oliver Goldman (Editor)

The branch of medicine which focuses on easing the suffering of the patients of chronic pain is known as pain management. Pain can cause changes in the physical and emotional health of a person. A combination of medication and provider-based interventions, like patient-specific recommendations for care, is typically involved in the treatment of both acute and chronic pain. Repeated and frequent usage of pain medications involves the risk of adverse reactions, overuse, and dependency. Complimentary therapies offer an alternative method to lower the pain experience. This involves the use of natural products, and mind and body practices. This book outlines the processes and applications of pain management in detail. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
