This book is your standard guide to pain specialists version of pain care which is clearly biased toward biomedical approaches- for most of the book, of course, focuses on the use of medications. With respect to the biomedical approach to pain the pain specialists are pretty good. They go over the use of several classes of pharmaceuticals for pain and review the research on effectiveness on medications. They have a chapter on assessing addiction to pain medications. They have decent chapters on pain intervention with reviews of research on the various injections and neuroablative techniques. The weakness of the book lies in nonpharmaceutical approaches- there is a chapter on acupuncture without naming the type of acupuncture- as if Manaka Style acupuncture were the same as Tan style. There is less than half a page on nutrition therapy for pain-and dont we all know many people in pain take supplements or try ketogenic diets. Though there is a mention of biofeedback( no mention of LENS, Roshi, SLoreta, EFA), yoga asanas, emdr,cbt, mindfulness meditation, functional restoration approach, exercise- very little information is provided on these modalities which is clear indication that the authors may know little of these, shall I say nonbiomedical or Hippocratic medicine approaches to pain. The authors also mention what they claim to be a well researched approach to muscle pain- which I googled and searched for on pubmed and found no information- go figure-but we all know that fudging it is part and parcel of what pain research is about, anyway.
