商品簡介
In recent years, massive amounts of data have accumulated on the components of pain pathways, and concurrently knowledge of muscle pain in the field of neurobiology has increased markedly. This book, a collection of much of this data, aims to serve as an overview of the many diseases and syndromes associated with muscle pain, and to combine the clinical view with new concepts based on neuroanatomic and electrophysiologic research. Topics covered include local and neuropathic muscular pain, mediated and postural muscle pain, central and centrally modified pain, myofascial pain caused by trigger points, and fibromyalgia syndrome. Heavily illustrated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
