"Neuropathic pain is one of the most common, debilitating, costly, and difficult to treat categories of chronic pain conditions characterized by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic Pain, part of the What Do I Do Now? Pain Medicine series, brings together in one volume 45 cases which expertly explore the diagnoses, assessment, management, and treatment of various types of neuropathic pain including less common and complex cases.
Treatment of neuropathic pain requires skillful assessment and management. Neuropathic Pain provides an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter challenging situations. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader's ability to answer the question, ""What do I do now?"""
