Opis
Handbook of Clinical Neurology (Series Editors: Aminoff, Boller and Swaab)
This volume provides a comprehensive accounting of pain and its relation to neurology. It is dedicated entirely to the mechanisms and clinical aspects of the subject, and provides a wealth of information on the latest neurobiological and clinical data surrounding the topic. From discussions of the physiology and pathology of the pain pathways from signaling, via spinal cord and supraspinal processing to endogenous pain modulation, users will gain an invaluable reference that provides a new understanding of pain related topics, including cytokines, sex differences, and the autonomic nervous system. Practicing clinicians, internists, surgeons, and those in the fields of psychiatry and gerontology will gain a greater understanding of this challenging topic with chapters that deal extensively with peripheral and central pain conditions, including specific disorders such as fibromyalgia, whiplash, psychiatric diseases, dementia, and even cancer. In addition, treatments for neuropathic pain are also thoroughly presented and discussed.Comprehensive account of the clinical aspects of pain syndromes associated with neurological disease.Tells neurologists what is currently known about pain mechanisms.International list of contributors including the leading workers in the field.Describes the advances which have occurred in both clinical neurology and the neurosciences and their impact on the understanding pain.
