Colvin, Consultant Anaesthetist, Department of Anaesthesia, Critical Care & Pain Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, UK and Marie Fallon, St Columba's Hospice Chair of Palliative Medicine, Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre (CRUK), University of Edinburgh, UK

Covering major chronic pain presentations, such as musculoskeletal pain, low back pain and neuropathic pain, the ABC of Pain also provides guidance on the management of pain in pregnancy, children, older adults, drug dependency and the terminally ill. Beginning with an overview of the epidemiology of chronic pain, pain mechanisms and the assessment of pain, it then provides practical guidance on interventional procedures and methods of effective pain management.

The ABC of Pain is a comprehensive, evidence-based reference. It is ideal for GPs, junior doctors, nurse specialists in primary care, palliative care specialists, and also hospital and hospice staff managing chronically and terminally ill patients.
