Clinical Management of the Elderly Patient in Pain

In Clinical Management of the Elderly Patient in Pain, some of the world's leading authorities describe the unique difficulties that arise when trying to provide pain relief to elderly patients--and how to overcome them. They examine conventional treatment with opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs along with a broad range of alternatives to consider when frontline drugs fail. Non-drug options for pain relief from the fields of physical medicine and psychology are also explored. The commonsense, practical, patient-oriented options in this book make it an immediately useful resource for busy clinicians.
