Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating and difficult-to-treat condition characterized by excess and prolonged pain and inflammation. Although CRPS can occur anywhere in the body following an injury or other medical event, it usually affects an arm, leg, hand, or foot. Our understanding of this condition is evolving rapidly, but treatment of CRPS requires skillful assessment and up-to-date knowledge. Part of the "What Do I Do Now? Pain Medicine" series, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome presents 11 high-yield clinical cases to cover a broad spectrum of CRPS including epidemiology, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, pathophysiology, conventional and interventional management, choices of neuromodulation, ketamine infusion, spread and prevention, CRPS in pediatric patients, and adjuvant and emerging therapies. This book is an ideal pocket guide for those who are looking for the essentials and advancements needed to manage CRPS.
Breakout sections with "key points" are clear and readable for those with a basic understanding of medicine. The book also offers useful and extensive citations for references and suggested reading. Overall, this compendium is an important overview on how to better understand CRPS and the strategies needed to navigate its multifaceted challenges and more effectively manage care. * BlueInk Review *
Designed as a pocket guide but holding vast opportunities for further study and research, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a highly recommended addition to any medical library catering to healthcare professions, classrooms that include CRPS in their discussions and lay readers who would gain a better sense of the condition and its various incarnations. The organization and clear presentation of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome makes it a highly recommended acquisition for all kinds of library collections. It's important (if not essential) reading for healthcare students and professionals who would learn more about this challenging condition and its management. * The Bookwatch *
