Clauw Index 473 xi This page intentionally left blank PREFACE Pain is a fascinating subject that aff ects nearly everyone at some time. To fi nd proof of this, one need only open up a newspaper, read a mag- azine, or turn on the TV set. Our knowledge about the mechanisms and treatment of pain is growing so rapidly that much of the material published only a few years ago is now obsolete. It is such an impor- tant topic that people whose lives it consumes will sometimes go to incredible lengths to learn about it and try to eradicate it. Yet there is still so much misinformation and confl icting data out there that it is sometimes diffi cult to know the right course of action. Th e reason we know this is that we see it every day. In the most recent Institute of Medicine report on pain, it was estimated that more than 100 million Americans live with chronic pain. Pain is the leading cause of disability in the world, and the second most common reason people visit healthcare providers. It should therefore come as no surprise that there are countless books available to doctors and patients alike focused on pain medicine, with more and more being published every month. Th ese books are almost all writt en by “pain management doctors,” physicians who have trained in “pain medicine,” and they are virtually all targeted to xiii PREFACE a “pain management” audience. However, the burden of pain extends to all doctors, not just those who treat it every day. We both have been asked to edit books many times, and for the most part we have declined nearly all off ers. Raising children, run- ning a clinical practice, and overseeing clinical trials can be very time consuming. Why, then, did we accept this assignment? Because we both felt there was—and still is—a strong need for a book designed to assist frontline healthcare providers with one of the most challeng- ing problems in medicine: how to eff ectively treat chronic pain. Th is book is one of the few that caters to non-pain practitioners, designed to include not just primary care doctors but non-pain spe- cialty physicians and ancillary healthcare providers.
