1. Understanding Pain Types and Their Relevance to Pain Treatment
This chapter begins with a discussion of the primary pain types and then takes a deep look at neuropathic and nociplastic pain. We will examine central and peripheral causes of these pain types as well as the descriptors used by patients that alert us to these pain types. Finally, we will examine central sensitization, including causes and effects.
2. Nociceptive Pain
In Chapter 2, nociceptive pain is thoroughly reviewed. Nociceptive pain is divided into somatic and visceral, and these pain types are important in determining appropriate treatments. We will examine causes, descriptors used by patients, and location of these pain types.
3. Acute, Subacute, Chronic, and High-Impact Chronic Pain
This chapter examines the differences in the timeline of acute, subacute, and chronic pain. It also examines high-impact chronic pain and its effects on the patient and healthcare system. Understanding this timeline may assist the clinician in determining appropriate treatment modalities.
