Experienced clinicians and academic leaders in pain medicine comprehensively discuss best-practice guidelines using the newest interventional techniques, including dorsal root ganglion stimulation, high frequency spinal cord stimulation, and low-dose intrathecal infusion pumps. Coverage includes malignant and non-malignant gastrointestinal pain, malignant and non-malignant pelvic pain in males and females, rectal pain, and chest pain. Discusses key demographic characteristics as well as clinical and diagnostic presentations of the most common and esoteric visceral pain syndromes that will enable clinicians to identify pain generators.
