The Pain Chronicles
Author: Melanie Thernstrom
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429979453
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Each of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages—from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging—to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines—science, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art—Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear. Both a personal meditation and an intellectual exploration, The Pain Chronicles illuminates and makes sense of the all-too-human experience of pain—and confronts with extraordinary grace and empathy its peculiar traits, its harrowing effects, and its various antidotes.

Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309459575
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Endometriosis Diary
Author: Julia Stueber
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781671858435
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
A symptom diary specifically for Endo Sisters I created this book when I was in the midst of an endometriosis episode and needed something to note all the symptoms and everything else - it was mostly pain and extreme fatigue. I then took the completed book to my gynecologist and discussed with him how to proceed. I designed it for 60 days so that in most cases, two to three periods are happening during the use of the book. The book is divided into three parts. It starts with general questions, so you do not have to keep remembering all the details when you're with a new doctor. Then follow trackers for your mood, the pain level, and much more. The most important part is, of course, the diary itself. There are two pages for each day. On the left side you can fill in the following fields - of course, you do not have to fill in all fields every day, but only those that concern you: Date Day in the cyclePeriodBlood flowMedicationEffects of MedicationSupplementsEmotional stateEnergy levelMealsWater intake Other symptoms (to tick off) A field for further notesOn the right side, you can draw in the location of the pain in your body in two female outlines - for the front and the back. This is followed by a list of different pains to tick and a pain scale. I hope this book will help you to document your symptoms and help you at your next visit to the doctor to be taken seriously! Product details: 60 diary pages, plus general questions and trackers on white paper Handy size: 6x9 in Matte, durable and flexible cover

Clinical Manual of Pain Management in Psychiatry
Author: Raphael J. Leo
Publisher: American Psychiatric Pub
ISBN: 1585622753
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
The Clinical Manual of Pain Management in Psychiatry focuses on the role of mental health practitioners in evaluation and assessment, pharmacological management, psychotherapeutic interventions, and comprehensive treatment planning for pain. It balances theoretical foundations of pain pathophysiology with applied clinical information, all the while viewing the patient from biological, psychological, and social perspectives in order to tailor treatment to the whole person. This handy portable guide includes numerous tables and illustrations and expands on the author's previous Concise Guide to Pain Management for Psychiatrists to reflect significant advances in the field of pain medicine. It features particularly extensive revisions regarding the use of psychiatric and other adjunctive medications in pain management; includes updated coverage of common psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders; and addresses common pain disorders ranging from headache and back pain to pain related to cancer and HIV. The manual includes an extensively revised chapter on pharmacology, fully discusses psychotherapeutic approaches, and covers special techniques such as acupuncture and regional neural blockade. It also offers updated advice on emerging forensic issues, from disability claims to controlled substance diversion.
