The following book, based on the above material, is now available from the IASP Press.
Chronic and Recurrent Pain in Children and Adolescents provides in-depth reviews of important issues relating to chronic pain in children. Topics range from basic neurophysiology to clinical diagnosis and treatment. The contributors emphasize scientific evidence and clinical applications, making the text invaluable to those working in the fields of children's pain or developmental aspects of pain mechanisms. Like its companion volume, Measurement of Pain in Infants and Children, this book brings together internationally recognized researchers and clinicians. It documents the proceedings of the second biennial International Forum on Pediatric Pain, held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in September 1998. Distinguished international experts detail the research from neuroscience, pharmacology, and clinical studies that bear on the development and treatment of chronic and recurrent pain in children and adolescents. Following a brief introduction, the early chapters review the neurophysiology and examine the behavioral neuroscience of pain in the developing organism. A discussion of the impact of early pain experience in humans completes the picture. Later chapters by leading clinician-scientists review the data on chronic and recurrent pain syndromes, detailing mechanisms and treatments. Each chapter succinctly and provocatively provides the reader with a state-of-the-art review of what is known and what needs to be learned. Chapters on gender issues and the pharmacotherapy of long-term pain complete the volume.
