Material Detail

The first two, and largest, parts of this volume contain explanatory material and a collection of descriptions of syndromes. These parts have been updated from the first edition. In the third part, the opportunity has been taken now, as before, to present some definitions of pain terms that were published previously in Pain and revised in 1986. Two new terms have been added to these definitions— Neuropathic Pain and Peripheral Neuropathic Pain— and the definition of Central Pain has been altered accordingly. Small changes have also been made in the notes on Allodynia and Hyperalgesia. Notes on the terms Sympathetically Maintained Pain and Sympathetically Independent Pain have also been introduced in a separate section, in connection with revised descriptions of what were formerly called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Causalgia and are now called Complex Regional Pain Syndromes, Types I and II, respectively.
