书籍简介
一部具有启发性的、权威性的、深入研究疼痛背后的迷人科学和其治疗的复杂性的著作--来自国际上疼痛管理方面的领先医生之一。
疼痛是一种普遍的人类经验，但我们对其背后的机制了解甚少。我们伤害自己，我们感到疼痛，我们向专业人士寻求帮助，或学习避免某些导致疼痛的行为。但我们身体里发生的故事远非如此简单。即使是医疗工作者自己也常常不能掌握我们的思想和身体之间的复杂性，以及在处理疼痛刺激时它们如何相互作用。纵观历史，我们一直试图预防和调解疼痛的影响--这只导致了高度用药的人口和蓬勃发展的鸦片制剂行业。
《疼痛解剖学》由受过麻醉学训练的医学专家撰写，是第一本明确解释当前围绕疼痛治疗的问题和复杂性的书，以及社会如何处理那些疼痛，以及我们的身体如何与疼痛相关。一般的概念仍然将疼痛等同于组织损伤，但这只是故事的一小部分--产生疼痛的器官是大脑。案例研究表明，接受过剖腹产的妇女所报告的疼痛比在类似的侵入性手术中切除肾结石的病人要少得多。士兵在中弹后把自己拖到安全地带，他处理疼痛的方式与在街上遭受类似伤害的人明显不同。事实是，疼痛是神经末梢、心理状态、社会成见和情景意识的复杂组合。
这本富有启发性的书充满了案例研究和医学史，提供了一个关于疼痛的各个方面的速成课程，从慢性到急性，并带领我们了解目前的疼痛治疗情况--从药物治疗（包括阿片类药物）到神经电刺激。无论是轻微的疼痛还是严重的不适，我们在生活中都会遇到疼痛，这本重要的、具有启发性的书使我们能够掌握照顾和应对这种经历的艺术，对许多人来说，这种经历可能会变得无所顾忌。
An illuminating, authoritative, and in-depth examination of the fascinating science behind pain and the complexities of its treatment-from one of the internationally leading doctors in pain management.
Pain is a universal human experience, but we understand very little about the mechanics behind it. We hurt ourselves, we feel pain, we seek help from a professional or learn to avoid certain behaviors that cause pain. But the story of what goes on in our body is far from simple. Even medical practitioners themselves often fail to grasp the complexities between our minds and bodies and how they interact when dealing with pain stimulus. Throughout history we"ve tried to prevent and mediate the effects of pain-which has only resulted in a highly medicated population and a booming opiates industry.
Written by a medical expert trained as an anesthesiologist, An Anatomy of Pain is the first book to clearly explain the current issues and complexities surrounding the treatment of pain and how society deals with those in pain, as well as how our bodies relate to pain. Common conception still equates pain with tissue damage but that is only a very small part of the story-the organ which produces pain is the brain. Case studies show that a woman who has undergone a c-section reports dramatically less pain than a patient who has had kidney stones removed in a similarly invasive operation. The soldier who drags himself or herself to safety after being shot deals with pain in a remarkably different way from someone suffering a similar injury on a street. The truth is that pain is a complex mix of nerve endings, psychological state, social preconceptions, and situational awareness.
Filled with case studies and medical history, this enlightening book offers a crash course in all aspects of pain, from chronic to acute, and walks us through the current landscape of pain treatments-from medication (including opioids) to electrical nerve stimulation. Whether it"s a mild ache or severe discomfort, we all encounter pain in our lives and this important and illuminating book allows us to master the art of caring and coping with an experience that for so many can become all-consuming.
