An Evidence-Based Resource for Pain Relief

By H.J. McQuay

Book Overview

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the conscientious, explicit, and sensible use of the best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of EBM requires the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. The techniques of evidence-based medicine now allow us to compare how well different pain relief interventions work for the same condition.
