Description: Thirty-four international experts review the latest clinical and scientific knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathic pain. The fourteen chapters examine evidence from animal models and human sensory testing techniques to determine the relevance of available research to clinical neuropathic pain. The editors hope that better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of neuropathic pain will lead to more effective treatments which selectively target each mechanism.
