摘要:Annotation Contributors from rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy advise clinicians on the diagnosis and management of various pain syndromes in patients with primary disabling diseases, believing that managing pain in such patients will prevent physiological and functional decline. They discuss pain as it relates to various disease processes from the perspective of both rehabilitation specialists and primary care providers. They do not cover the neurophysiology of pain, surgical approaches to managing intractable pain, or other topics that are addressed adequately elsewhere.
