Clinical Neurobiology of Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Therapeutic Implications

It examines the results of a wide scope of basic and applied research on soft-tissue pain, with a strong focus on therapeutic approaches. Its three main sections explore the neurobiology of central sensitization, regional pain syndromes, and chronic widespread pain. In addition, this well-referenced book presents a fascinating chapter on the complex relationship between muscle pain and aging. Handy graphs, charts, and illustrations make the information easy to assimilate.Bennett, Robert M. is the author of 'Clinical Neurobiology of Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Therapeutic Implications' with ISBN 9780789017420 and ISBN 0789017423.
