Synopsis

Chronic (persistent) pain is now recognized as a disease entity, with a broad range of physical, psychological and environmental maladaptions involving the peripheral and central nervous systems. All healthcare professionals, regardless of specialty, will care for patients with pain that has persisted for more than 6 months. The authors of Fast Facts: Chronic Pain and Cancer Pain - renowned experts in pain medicine - say that this book is aimed primarily at "the wide range of busy healthcare professionals who are well aware that they have experienced little or no education and training to help them manage patients with chronic pain". First Prize winner for Neurology in the 2012 BMA Book Awards, this colorful easy-to-read, yet evidence-packed, book provides a perfect overview to bring a reader up to speed with this vitally important area of pain management.

Media Reviews
This book would definitely invite me to look for other titles in the Fast Facts series. Its strengths are its layout, content and organization/clear presentation of content. Its clean, colour-coded presentation is also appealing and `organized' which is very important to intended readers who do not have excessive time to read texts. The main accomplishment is tackling and breaking down a subject which may be a source of challenge to most GPs. It makes the theory and practice of pain management feel far more manageable. I think this is a great book with a clear intended readership and the `product' is very much `fit for purpose' * First Prize Neurology, 2012 BMA Book Awards *
his is a well-written resource on the assessment and management of chronic pain. Its focused approach is very helpful for healthcare providers and individuals suffering from chronic pain. It is a wonderfully informative addition to the current literature on chronic pain. -- Lacie Filkins * Doody's Review Service *
