Description & Specifications

Pain has many valuable functions. It can be a warning or force us to rest. However, most cases of chronic pain, such as incessant backaches or headaches, have no clear cause and reduce the quality of life for countless people. Over the years, a scientific revolution has taken place in the research and treatment of chronic pain. A significant catalyst for this was the introduction of the 'gate theory' by Professors Ronald Melzack and Patrick D. Wall, who argued that pain is a single stream of experience produced by the brain, incorporating a multitude of psychological functions. Their now classic book, with a new introduction examining all the latest medical developments, analyzes every aspect of pain: the psychological and clinical aspects, physiological elements, major pain theories, and developments in its management. The challenge of the twenty-first century is to examine how memories, personal and social expectations, genetics, gender, aging, and stress patterns play a role in the occurrence of pain and how understanding this could lead to relief for sufferers.
