To complement the 2016 IASP Global Year Against Pain in the Joints , Pain in the Joints provides a comprehensive overview of joint pain, including its assessment, mechanisms, and treatment options. Leading experts address general concepts as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges presented by this complex and growing problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Of interest to pain scientists and all clinicians involved in perioperative care and the management of chronic pain, this state-of-the-art volume discusses the basic science of joint pain and applies this knowledge to a better understanding of clinical joint pain conditions – from neurophysiology, genetics, and the pathophysiology of ongoing nociception to pain persistence and chronic pain development.
