Atlas of Injection Therapy in Pain Management PDF

Preface
Pain is the most frequent cause for patient–physi-
cian contact. The patient expects rapid relief and
freedom from pain. The more efficient the relief,
the more successful the physician is felt to be.
Besides elimination of pain-producing causes,
elimination of pain itself is the ultimate ambition
of therapy. This should take place rapidly, with few
side effects, simply, and at little cost.
Pain treatment through local anesthetics is one
of the most efficient and fastest-acting pain treat-
ment options. A prerequisite is knowledge of the
exact techniques and indications, as well as the
risks. Injections are invasive procedures and
require precise execution. Pain symptoms and pat-
terns encountered in daily practice are manifold
and often difficult to associate causally. Among the
various pain patterns that present themselves in
daily practice, some typical, constantly recurring
patterns emerge. The typical clinical pain pattern
allows exact assignment of a suitable injection
treatment.
In this book, physicians will find symptom-
oriented “cookbook-style” directions, which provide
easy recognition and indication of the approach.
Both circumscribed pain of singular origin and
complex pain syndromes can be managed effec-
tively and rapidly.
Owing to the great number of didactical illustra-
tions, it is possible to perform injection treatments
with little preceding experience. Risks are discern-
able in regard to technique and location and con-
comitant treatments are listed. This enables the
practitioner to rid the patient of pain in a fast, effi-
cient, and low-risk manner.
