Neurosurgical Pain Management

Neurosurgical Pain Management 1st Edition - Kenneth A. Follett. Neurosurgical Pain Management provides an overview of surgical and, more broadly, interventional pain management techniques. The book opens with a consideration of pain pathophysiology and the standard medical, psychological, and rehabilitative approaches towards the treatment of chronic pain, as the neurosurgeon should be careful to select those patients who have exhausted more conservative management before proceeding with the interventions the book goes on to detail. At its end, the text addresses multidisciplinary pain management, impairment and physical medicine, and practice management. For the anesthesiology-trained pain management specialist this book provides some information not easily found elsewhere. Indeed, there are no fewer than four brief separate chapters describing surgical approaches to the relief of trigeminal pain. This points to the book’s core weakness. Although this text provides familiarity with the different surgical modalities, it provides little guidance. Surely this is, in part, a function of the dearth of controlled trials and outcome studies in the neurosurgical pain literature.
