Not since White and Sweet published Pain and the Neurosurgeon in the 1960s has there been a comprehensive review of the entire field of neurosurgical pain management. You will find a complete synthesis of all current concepts of pain neuroanatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology; new procedures that minimize invasiveness and postoperative neurological deficits; and the entire scope of surgical and medical management of chronic pain. In addition, you will benefit from the expertise of the international board of contributors, a virtual who's who in pain medicine, management, and surgery. Special features of this encyclopedic resource: * Special Considerations highlighting important practical, clinical information * Point/Counterpoint giving the pros and cons of different treatment methods * Expert commentary offering insights and alternative views of each topic
