Neuropathic Pain: a Clinical Guide to Diagnosis is intended to serve as a concise reference for the clinician. It provides a snapshot of the clinical features of somatic and visceral pain in outline form. The differential diagnosis provides a quick reference to similar conditions that should be considered when assessing the proper diagnosis.Significant and unique strengths are the emphasis on referred pain and pain radiations from the viscera. Understanding the subtle distinctions of pain derived from visceral organs such as the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and pelvic organs to the body’s surface can be crucial to a quick and accurate diagnosis.Other topics discussed in this book include neuropathic pain from the peripheral nerves, nerve roots (disc disease), brachial and cervical plexus, traumatic and compressive injuries of nerves, rare genetic causes, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Additionally, central pain disorders that result in neuropathic pain (stroke, spinal cord injuries, trauma, and tumors) are covered in depth.This work benefits from being an integrated perspective from a physician with extensive clinical, research, and teaching experience.
