Since 1961, when pain therapy was introduced by Bonica, the-
re have been world-wide efforts to establish basic regimens
for the treatment of chronic pain. Yet many patients still
continue to suffer from intractable pain despite the availa-
bility of effective treatment that would greatly improve
their quality of life. The lack of specialists familiar
with recent developments is one of the causes. There is con-
sequently a great demand for interdisciplinary pain clinics
and specialist training programs.
This book constitutes both a valuable introduction and an
overview of current basic regimens and the latest
sophisticated techniques in pain therapy.
