Description
Chronic musculoskeletal pain affects at least 14% of the population, for the most part related to muscles and other soft tissues. This monograph offers a selection of chapters which highlight the difficulties of understanding, as well as the data and insight which are now available. The volume is a representative statement of knowledge of the field at the present time, and also shows the lines of development and potential avenues for research which would elucidate existing problems. The disciplines of pathology, rheumatology, physical medicine and pain studies are also represented by contributions from leading investigators.
