Collective knowledge of the origins and pharmacology of pain are
evolving rapidly, providing increased hope for better pain
management and a far greater quality of life for patients
worldwide. However, there are few works dedicated to guiding
primary care practitioners and clinical researchers through the use
of adjuvant analgesics. Part of the Oxford American Pain Library,

Adjuvant Analgesics provides a detailed discussion of the
various classes of these drugs including antidepressants and
anticonvulsants, cannabinoids, topical analgesics, and local
anesthetics. Chapters cover a basic introduction to adjuvant
analgesics for pain control, appropriate clinical applications of
the various drug classes in the management of common pain problems,
and on drug-drug interactions between adjuvant analgesics and
traditional analgesics. Important pain entities such as acute
postoperative, cancer-related, neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia
are addressed, filling an important gap in today's medical
literature.
