From reviews of the First Edition:
"For the practitioner new to the field of implantable therapies, this
book shows the scope of this particular branch of pain medicine. It is
full of good advice on techniques and how to avoid complications."
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology
"All practicing pain physicians, whether their background is in
anesthesia or neurosurgery, will find [this atlas] very
useful...beautifully written and well-illustrated with x-ray images and
pictures...a must-read for every pain fellow and a very useful one for
every pain physician."
Doody's Review Service
Now in its Second Edition, this atlas remains an essential guide to the
treatment of pain using neuromodulation and is written for all
implanters, from beginners to the most advanced practitioners. It has
been significantly expanded with many brand new chapters and figures and
thoroughly updated to address new techniques, targets, waveforms, and
concepts that have emerged since publication of the last edition and now
provides even more detailed coverage of patient safety, including
infection control and reduction of bleeding risks.
The new and returning physicians who have collaborated on the Second
Edition are world-class in their research, clinical expertise, and
ethics of practice. They have endeavored to make each segment of the
atlas a great learning event through careful integration of extensive
photographs, illustrations, and detailed instructions and to create a
resource that helps to improve practice and enhance outcomes while
complementing fellowship training, peer-to-peer experiences, and
hands-on continuing medical education.
