Principles of pain management. A short review.

Full Abstract

Information that contributes to our understanding of the processes that participate in the perception of and responses to pain has expanded rapidly in the last decade. Much of this information and many clinical observations demand new conceptual frameworks within which to modify and expand classical teachings of pain pathways and mechanisms. In this brief review, some of these new dimensions are considered. The limited references serve as an introduction to more comprehensive original and review material.
