Managing chronic pain in an age of addiction
As a nation, we are facing an unprecedented opioid crisis that is killing more than 65,000 people a year. It is destroying our families and decimating our neighborhoods. And it is costing us billions. As more and more people are dealing with chronic pain, and as the opioid crisis reaches epic proportions, alternative approaches to understanding pain and its management are necessary. Here, Dr. Akhtar Purvez, a seasoned researcher, pain specialist, and pain advocate, offers basic information about pain and pain conditions and considers how we approach pain from cultural, biological, and medical perspectives. He discusses the latest minimally invasive, interventional approaches like nerve blocks and ablation procedures, and neuromodulation techniques like peripheral nerve, spinal cord, and brain stimulation. The uses of marijuana and associated interventions is reviewed, and Purvez walks readers through the process of assessing pain, finding a doctor who can treat it, and methods for coping with pain through non-medical approaches like meditation. Anyone coping with pain or helping someone who is will find here a ready resource that offers hope and understanding.

Managing Your Child's Chronic Pain
Pain is a frequent experience for children of all ages. Unfortunately, one in four children and adolescents suffers from some form of pain that doesn’t resolve quickly and becomes a chronic or persistent problem. There are very few specialized services available to provide evaluation and treatment to children with chronic pain. This means that many families are not able to get the help they need. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment that has been used for over 30 years for children with chronic pain. Managing Your Child’s Chronic Pain provides instruction in psychological treatment strategies for parents to use at home to help their child and family to better cope with chronic pain. The book provides instruction in several cognitive and behavioral skills, including relaxation strategies, reward systems, supporting physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits, strategies to improve sleep, supporting school and social relationships, and problem-solving and positive thinking skills. Parents are provided with suggestions for homework assignments and practice opportunities to encourage rapid learning of each skill. A unique feature of the book is that each chapter uses stories, quotes, and vignettes of children with chronic pain and their families based on real-life examples. The goal of this book is to provide parents with strategies that will help their children manage pain and participate more fully in their daily lives.

The Complete Guide to Relieving Cancer Pain and Suffering
Thoroughly updating their widely praised 1994 book, You Don't Have to Suffer, Dr. Richard B. Patt and Susan Lang offer a much-needed handbook for patients and caregivers on all aspects of cancer pain and suffering. The authors identify the reasons why patients are so often under-medicated--from patients who feel the need to tough it out to doctors buried in time-consuming paperwork--and argue that properly medicated patients are better able to resume active lives and marshal strength to fight their disease. Those in chronic pain not only suffer, but also jeopardize their recovery. They demonstrate methods that can be used to cope with pain, nausea, constipation, fatigue, and other symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatment. This book will empower cancer patients and their families to make informed decisions about their care and will be of enormous value to the growing number of patients, family members, and health-care professionals determined to relieve needless suffering.
