Clinical Pain Management is a major new clinical reference work. Comprised of four volumes - Acute Pain, Chronic Pain, Cancer Pain and Practical Applications and Procedures - it is a comprehensive textbook for trainee and practising specialists in pain management and related areas, presenting these individuals with all they need to know to provide a successful pain management service.

This set includes one clinical volume that deal with acute pain - from the basic mechanisms underlying the development of pain, to the various treatments that can be applied in different clinical situations. A second volume, Practical Applications and Procedures, complements providing helpful advice on practical aspects of clinical management and research, including protocols and established clinical guidelines: in effect, it is a 'ready-reference manual' for the busy clinician.
