Reviews

Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Pain by Medical, Interventional, and Integrative Approaches is a major textbook...[I]t should be a part of all departmental libraries and in the reference collection of pain fellows and pain practitioners. In fact, this text could be to pain as Miller is to general anesthesia. Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology Although the primary audience is chronic pain physicians and primary care givers, anyone managing patients with chronic pain conditions in their practice will find the book very useful. ... The information is extremely practical and clinically useful...Both the content and the short discussions in each chapter make it a good pain reference for a busy practice. Doody's Book Reviews
