Proceedings of the Vith World Congress on Pain

by Michael R. Bond

This book's basic scientific attributes are reflected in two ways. First, a strong sense of continuity of effort on the part of the community of pain scientists to understand the somatosensory system in normal and pathological circumstances, and secondly, the emergence of insights into the pathobiology of pain leading to new lines of research. Clinical pain has many facets, and progress is being made on several fronts, a number of which are included. Proceedings of the VIth world Congress on Pain incorporates the many facets of pain and pain management. The volume emphasizes that a broad-based scientific approach is flourishing and exciting developments are taking place in basic science, and there is continuing growth in research into the assessment and clinical management of pain, especially acute pain. The future of the science of pain management is bright.
