INTERVENTIONAL MANAGEMENT OF HEAD AND FACE PAIN

Description

· First bookon interventional management of headand face pain
· Edited and written by world class authorities
· Full range of procedures, from nerve blocks forhead and face pain toperipheral and central neuromodulation
· Practical, step-by-step guidance forperforming each procedure

This is the firstbook on interventional management of intractable, medically resistant head andface pain. It is edited and written by world-class leaders in headache medicineand features practical presentations of the entire spectrum of procedures, fromsimple to complex. Designed to help shorten the learning curve of practitionerswho are beginning to use interventional headache procedures, it providesguidance in identifying patients who are appropriate candidates for thisapproach and includes a unique compilation of outcomes-based algorithms fordifferent headache and face pain syndromes.

Neurologists,anesthesiologists, pain physicians, physiatrists, neurosurgeons, andinterventional radiologists are the intended audience.
