| andrew kaufman pain management: The Bioethics of Pain Management Daniel S. Goldberg, 2014-02-03 In this book, public health ethicist Daniel S. Goldberg sets out to characterize the subjective experience of pain and its undertreatment within the US medical establishment, and puts forward public policy recommendations for ameliorating the undertreatment of pain. The book begins from the position that the overwhelming focus on opioid analgesics as a means for improving the undertreatment of pain is flawed, and argues instead that dominant Western models of biomedicine and objectivity delegitimize subjective knowledge of the body and pain in the US. This general intolerance for the subjectivity of pain is part of a specific American culture of pain in which a variety of actors take part, including not only physicians and health care providers, but also pain sufferers, caregivers, and policymakers. Concentrating primarily on bioethics, history, and public policy, the book brings a truly interdisciplinary approach to an urgent practical ethical problem. Taking up the practical challenge, the book culminates in a series of policy recommendations that provide pathways for moral agents to move beyond contests over drug policy to policy arenas that, based on the evidence, hold more promise in their capacity to address the devastating and inequitable undertreatment of pain in the US. |

| andrew kaufman pain management: Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds! Gadi Kaufman, 2015-04-04 The pain-free approach to resetting the nervous system and releasing muscle spasms From Neuromuscular Therapist Gadi Kaufman comes the long awaited book about how to relieve back pain using the pain-free approach called Strain Counterstrain Technique. In Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds, you will learn important information about lower back pain that you have not been told by the previous practitioners. For example, did you know that the majority of lower back pain does not actually originate in the lower back muscles themselves? In other words, when you feel lower back pain, the true source of that pain can often be traced to muscles and joints in the front of the body. Yes, that's right: those tired and overused muscles in the front of the body can radiate severe pain to the lower back. This lower back pain quickly becomes chronic due to a chain reaction that occurs which limits mobility, twists and torques the spine, rotates the pelvis, and compresses hip sockets on both sides of the body. At the center of this chain reaction is a painful muscle spasm, which means the muscle has essentially shut down and stopped contracting and releasing. If this muscle spasm is left untreated, your lower back pain can persist for years. But now you can do something about it. In Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds, you will learn how to use the passive and pain-free Strain Counterstrain Technique to release persistent muscle spasms and relieve your lower back pain -- in the comfort of your own home, and with no more equipment than your sofa or a chair. This technique is extremely gentle and doesn't require spinal manipulations or uncomfortable maneuvers or deep tissue massage. You can relieve your pain without harsh medications, and without any additional pain during the process. Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds is not another book of exercises and stretching. This technique will manipulate the autonomic nervous system and switch off the muscle spasm (which is being controlled by the nervous system). Relieving this pain is all about the nervous system. If you don't allow the nervous system to reset, then the spasm will not release. Muscles are dependent on the nervous system. As the author Gadi Kaufman famously says: The nervous system is the boss! The muscles are the employees! The step-by-step instructions and illustrations in Back Pain Relief in 90 Seconds focus on the specific muscles that are known contributors to lower back pain including: Psoas, Iliacus, Rectus Abdominus, Abdominal Obliques, Quadratus Lumborum, Piriformis, and more. With these 10 positional releases, you can begin to live again without lower back pain, which is something everyone deserves. |

| andrew kaufman pain management: Knowing Pain Rob Boddice, 2023-05-09 Pain, while known to almost everyone, is not universal. The evidence of our own pain, and our own experience, does not provide us with automatic insight into the pains of others, past or present. No matter how self-evident and ubiquitous the sting of a paper cut or the desolation of heartbreak might seem, pain is situated and historically specific. In a work that is sometimes personal, always political, Rob Boddice reveals a history of pain that juggles many disciplinary approaches and disparate languages to tackle the thorniest challenges in pain research. He explores the shifting meaning-making processes that produce painful experiences, expanding the world of pain to take seriously the relationship between pain’s physicality and social and emotional suffering. Ranging from antiquity to the present and taking in pain knowledge and pain experiences from around the world, his tale encompasses not only injury, but also grief, exclusion, chronic pain, and trauma, and reveals how knowledge claims about pain occupy what pain is like. Innovative and compassionate in equal measure, Knowing Pain puts forward an original pain agenda that is essential reading for those interested in the history of emotions, senses, and experience, for medical researchers and practitioners, and for anyone who has known pain. |

The remainder of the text delves into a more common approach to addressing interventional cancer pain medicine. After discussing interventional options that are commonly employed by physicians, the text investigates how surgeons may address some of the more severe pain syndromes, and covers the most important interventional available for our patients, intrathecal drug delivery. Chapters also cover radiologic options in targeted neurolysis and ablative techniques, specifically for bone metastasis, rehabilitation to address patients’ quality of life and function, and integrative and psychological therapies.

| andrew kaufman pain management: The End of Pain Jacqueline Lagacé, 2014-03-29 For years Jacqueline Lagacé suffered from debilitating chronic arthritis pain in her hands, spine, and knees. Conventional medicine failed to provide any relief, and Lagacé, a medical researcher, began searching for alternatives. That search brought her to the work of Dr. Jean Seignalet, an expert in nutrition therapy, who used targeted nutrition to treat patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases. His approach was called the hypotoxic diet, and he achieved an 80 percent success rate with it. By following his dietary regime, Lagacé experienced alleviation of the pain in her hands within ten days and regained the use of her hands in 16 months. Her severe back and knee pain were also greatly reduced. In The End of Pain, Lagacé explores how our bodies are at war with our modern Western diet. She thoroughly investigates the science behind treating inflammatory disease with nutritional therapy and explains why consuming wheat, dairy products, and animal proteins cooked at high temperatures disrupts the balance of intestinal flora and spurs the growth of pathogenic rather than beneficial bacteria, citing recent scientific studies showing how and why these foods are potentially pro-inflammatory. The End of Pain is where relief begins. |

| andrew kaufman pain management: Handbook of Pain Syndromes Andrew R. Block, Ephrem Fernandez, Edwin Kremer, 2013-05-13 Pain syndromes involve a complex interaction of medical and psychological factors. In each syndrome unique physiological mechanisms are mediated by emotional states, personality traits, and environmental pressures to determine the nature and extent of pain complaints and pain-related disability. The Handbook addresses the complexities of chronic pain in three ways. Section I describes general concerns that cross-cut the different syndromes, such as the use of narcotic pain medications, the detection of deception and malingering, and the epidemiology of pain. Section II presents comprehensive reviews of a wide range of pain syndromes. Each covers basic pathophysiology, psychological factors found to influence the course of the syndrome, and syndrome-specific multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Most of the Section II chapters are coauthored by psychologists and physicians. Section III discusses pain in special populations, including the elderly and children. The Handbook is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and integrated single-volume resource for all those professionally concerned with pain. |

| andrew kaufman pain management: Technological Innovations and Pancreatic Cancer Samir Pathak, Sanjay Pandanaboyana , Andrew Smith, 2024-11-15 Pancreatic cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The survival remains extremely low with an estimated overall 5-year survival rate of approximately 5%. For patients who are able to undergo surgery the 5-year survival rate is approximately 20-30%. Unlike other solid organ malignancies, the 5-year survival of pancreatic cancer has not improved significantly over the last few decades. There is an urgent need for more effective treatments for both resectable and unresectable cancer to improve outcomes for patients Innovations on the early, non-invasive diagnosis and more efficient treatments are desperately needed to further improve outcomes. It is imperative that when new techniques are introduced into clinical practice, they are done so in a manner that is transparent to ensure. Furthermore, the technique should be described in detail alongside patient selection (and evolution with time), governance arrangements, clinical- and patient-reported outcomes to ensure incremental learning occurs so promising innovations are adopted rapidly. |
