Review
"As the editors point out, many thousands of journal articles have been written on pain. This book has digested the literature and presented it at a level that can be absorbed in this large and complete book. The first three sections cover the neurobiology, assessment and psychology, and pharmacology and treatment of pain, followed by lengthy sections on clinical states, including somatic, visceral, headache/facial neuropathic, and cancer pain. Chapters are thorough and generally consistent in format. The only shortcoming of this otherwise excellent book is that many chapters could benefit from more extensive illustrations, including photographs and/or schematic drawings. Also, it takes some effort to seek the references, which are provided only online through an accompanying website."-Martin Dauber, MD(University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody Review: 4 stars

Title: Missing QR code?

Review: This was to be a brand new book but there's no activation code/QR code, it is simply white. I bought this book primarily for the online resource and now that I have finally opened it up I don't even have a QR code available.

Review: Great book and comprehensive. Essential book for a pain specialist. Much focus on pharmacology and basic pain mechanisms but somewhat limited on descriptions of pain syndromes and treatments.

Title: Melzack & Walls Textbook of Pain
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016
Review: This is a very welcome newer comprehensive atlas and textbook regarding the sensory CNS and neural pathways with respect to the pathophysiology. Nociceptive endings, antinociceptive descending neural circuits are described well. Excellent color drawings and photos are provided throughout the book. This is over a 1400 page outstanding reference for pain physicians, sensory neurophysiologists, anesthetists, neurosurgeons, and internal medicine doctors. The psychophysics of the sensory systems are handled in depth. Neurobiology graduate students will also benefit from this book. Imaging, single neuron physiology, and surgical treatments are described. For example, DREZ lesions, thalamotomy, other intracerebral infusion therapies are also included. Callosotomy, split brain, limited psychosurgery are all covered. The various narcotics and their judicious usage in chronic pain are also covered in depth.
The biochemistry and pharmacology of inflammatory mechanisms and appropriate treatments are also covered in-depth. NSAIDs, opioids, psychotropics have separate chapters and are handled with care. Complications of pain management, pitfalls, and other issues are described.
