Main description:

Pain medicine has struggled to find effective treatments for chronic pain. Opioids, which were considered the standard of care, have now demonstrated to have significant adverse long-term consequences. This book provides the reader with pain treatment strategies that have been effectively employed over the years as well as the newest trends and treatment in pain care.

Covers cannabinoids in pain care, novel therapeutics in pain medicine, and integrative care in pain management.
Discusses relevant basic science, psychological aspects of pain care, opioids and practice guidelines, geriatric pain management, and future research in the field.
Consolidates today's available information and guidance into a single, convenient resource.
