Pain: Management, Issues and Controversies

Pain: Management, Issues and Controversies

Novità editoriale

Pur senza la pretesa di rispondere a tutte le domande e le controversie (cosa quasi impossibile in quanto il problema della cura del dolore è molto più ampio di quanto siamo abituati a pensare, anche per gli aspetti sociali, comportamentali e biopsicosociali che esso implica), il libro presenta un'ampia panoramica su alcuni problemi riscontrati nel trattamento del dolore, principalmente del dolore cronico non oncologico.

Il libro è destinato soprattutto ai medici e agli specialisti, ma sarà certamente di interesse per gli altri professionisti del settore sanitario che lavorano con pazienti affetti da dolore: psicologi (sia clinici che ricercatori), fisioterapisti, infermieri, operatori sociali e altri. Può anche essere utilizzato per un corso universitario, o per la specializzazione post-laurea.
Gli autori che hanno contribuito alla stesura dei vari capitoli provengono da diverse specialità mediche e tutti sono molto noti per l'impegno scientifico nel campo della gestione del dolore e per la lunga esperienza di pratica clinica, esperienza che hanno messo a disposizione dei lettori.
Considerato che in tutto il mondo non viene utilizzato un approccio coerente nell'assistenza sanitaria e nel trattamento del dolore, e che non tutti i pazienti che necessitano di terapia del dolore vi hanno accesso, è ferma convinzione degli autori che un ruolo significativo deve essere svolto dalla formazione e dallo scambio di informazioni tra specialisti. L'auspicio è quindi che chi leggerà questo libro vorrà partecipare in modo proattivo scrivendo agli autori critiche e suggerimenti.
