An authoritative investigation of the sources andtreatment of osteoarthritic joint pain
Millions of people throughout the world suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) a medical condition causing its sufferers excruciating pain that is often disabling. This is the first book to offer clinicians an in–depth understanding of the biological sources of osteoarthritic pain and how they can be treated. Here, a team of leading international authorities has contributed state–of–the–art information on:
-
The Neuroscience of Articular Pain spinal and peripheral mechanisms of joint pain; experimental models for the study of osteoarthritic pain; inflammatory mediators and nociception in arthritis; phantoms in rheumatology; and more
-
Osteoarthritis and Pain joint mechanisms and neuromuscular aspects of OA; bone pain and pressure in OA joints; structural correlates of OA pain; and more
-
Treatment of Osteoarthritic Pain general approaches to treatment; treatments targeting pain receptors; treatments targeting biomechanical abnormalities; and treatments targeting inflammation
Whether you′re a medical professional, researcher, student, or a generalist or specialist focusing on pain or arthritis, this is your one–stop reference for understanding and treating joint pain in osteoarthritis.
