Neuropathic Pain: a Clinical Guide to Diagnosis is a practical volume written by a master clinician and pain specialist. Dr. Robert Schwarzman redefined Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (aka CRPS) with nuanced elaboration on other forms of neuropathic pain, from molecules to pain behavior. This book is a body of knowledge culminating in decades of experience diagnosing and treating neuropathic pain by an astute and compassionate observer. The book is equally valuable for all physicians who deal with pain, including physiatrists, neurologists, and general medicine physicians. -Sayed Ausim Azizi, MD, PhD, FANA Department of Neurology Yale University School of Medicine Dr. Robert Schwartzman stood at the forefront of the field of neurology. He was renowned for his unrivaled expertise in evaluating, treating, and diagnosing conditions associated with neuropathic pain. With a vast wealth of knowledge backed by years of experience, Dr. Schwartzman cemented his position as an indisputable leader in his field. This is another of his books that proves it. This book about neuropathic pain is a must-read by everybody interested in this subject matter. -G. Peter Gliebus, MD FAAN, Associate Professor, Academic Chair of Neurology Drexel University College of Medicine Over the years, I have had the opportunity to observe many examiners in Neurology, but no one has taught me more than Dr. Schwartzman, my chairman, for more than 25 years. With each Chairman's Rounds, there was something he taught me, along with the rest of the audience. Dr. Schwartzman was the consummate examiner and diagnostician; nowhere was this more evident than in his approach to neuropathic pain. His academic and thoughtful approach to the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathic pain is unparalleled. He has captured his decades of experience in writing this monumental work dedicated to diagnosing neuropathic pain. It is truly a gift to the medical community and will be an essential read for anyone caring for patients with neuropathic pain. -Terry Heiman-Patterson, MD Professor of Neurology Director Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine
