A practical tool for immediate use in daily practice
This memo is a powerful guide to evaluation and prescription for the doctor as well as the nurse.
For an educational overview of the tools available to caregivers, it summarises the semiological and therapeutic aspects of the main pain syndromes, as well as the principal evaluation scales.
This 2nd edition has been updated and enriched, particularly with regard to pain induced by care.
In addition to a major update of pharmacological data, the revision also involves the topics of misuse and tolerance.
However, its aim is not to be exhaustive but to help in the management of the most common types of pain to best respond to patients’ demand: relief.
