Pain and Palliative Care

By Pramod Kumar

The Pain Relief service has taken almost 5 decades since the formation of International Association for study of Pain. In India these services started within a decade after formation of IASP when ISSP was formed in BHU Varanasi. The anaesthesiologist, surgeons & physicians have all joined together in providing pain relief services. However there is still reluctance on the part of medical community to start this service to millions of patients suffering from chronic intractable pain. This book is a further step in creating awareness & trains the pain physicians and postgraduate in South Asia. This book deals with a synopsis of pain mechanisms, various conditions and pain services imparted through peripheral nerve blocks, invasive and non invasive procedures. The second part deals with palliative care in terminal cancer patients which is useful to pain practitioners, UG & PG students and even public at large since the language used is very specific, to the point & simple. This book will be useful to anaesthesiologists since MCI has made Pain Clinic services under anaesthesiology department in a medical college mandatory.
