PREFACE

The Practical Management of Pain, initially published in 1986, is a well-established textbook on pain management. In 2008, the current editors assumed editorial leadership for the fourth edition of the book, and their multidisciplinary backgrounds in anesthesiology, neurology, and psychology have been reflected in the book’s content. The book has evolved to focus on pain-related topics, with a comprehensive update and expansion in this edition. The editors have enlisted an outstanding set of clinicians and researchers with expertise in various aspects of pain and its management to provide contemporary information on evaluating and treating patients experiencing pain. In this edition, Dr. Andrea Chadwick has been added to the editorial team, bringing expertise in areas such as fibromyalgia, non-opioid pain management, and radiation exposure. The production of this textbook involved contributions, encouragement, and support from numerous individuals, including the authors, the Aptara team, and others involved in its development. The editors express their gratitude for these contributions.
