The diagnosis and treatment of pain-related conditions have changed extensively over the last decade. These changes have included surgical advances in minimally invasive techniques, multidisciplinary approaches to complex pain problems, the development of numerous oral and injectable medications, and further advancements in pain management injection procedures. Our understanding of many of these changes has been advanced by our own specialty academies and many new societies dedicated to pain relief. These groups have been instrumental in encouraging research that has been included in much of this edition of Pain Procedures in Clinical Practice.
The third edition of Pain Procedures in Clinical Practice has changed extensively since the original volume was published in 1995. The original text was directed toward practicing physiatrists and incorporated inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient pain management procedures. In 2000 the second edition was expanded as a multi-specialty textbook and intended entirely for the pain management practitioner, regardless of medical specialty. The third edition of Pain Procedures in Clinical Practice has been further expanded to include section editors. The extensive volume of new information, research, and techniques relative to pain management necessitated this expansion. The selected section editors are well known in their respective specialities. To each of them—Dr. Stevan Walkowski (CAM Procedures), Dr. Aneesh Singla (Peripheral Nerve Blocks), Dr. David Vivian (Spine Procedures), and Dr. Steven Richiemer (Video Procedures)—I extend my gratitude for their hard work and dedication to this textbook.
A huge thank-you goes out to all of the authors for contributing their expertise to this text. Numerous hours of research, writing, and review were required by each of these contributors to produce such a volume. In addition, special thanks go out to the publisher and medical artists who made this project come to fruition.
