Chronic Pain: Strategies for Integrated Treatment (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781646475988)

Pain that lasts longer than three months is categorized as chronic. It can originate from anywhere in the body, including brain and spinal cord. In the initial stages, various non-opioid medicines are recommended for treating chronic pain, depending on whether the pain is neuropathic or due to tissue damage. Psychological treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, may effectively improve the quality of life in those with chronic pain. Integrated treatment of chronic pain involves the incorporation of non-pharmacological modalities for decreasing pain and increasing function and quality of life. These include massage, yoga and mindfulness. Those suffering from this medical condition frequently have sleep disturbance and sleeplessness as a result of medication and sickness. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights with respect to chronic pain and its integrated treatment. Students, researchers, anesthesiologists, intensive care professionals, surgical and nursing staff, and other medical practitioners will find this book helpful.
