Description

This volume provides up-to-date information on interventional pain management, and contains step-by-step explanations to make techniques accessible. The text covers: mechanisms of pain and their clinical implications; spinal drugs delivery system; and advanced managemment techniques as well as future techniques. Each chapter contains practical suggestions for improving the success rate of interventional pain management techniques and avoiding pitfalls.
