Resumen del libro
| Publisher Summary 1 |
| In the 21 chapters compiled in this volume, Cairns (pharmaceutical sciences, U. of British Columbia, Canada) presents an overview of peripheral receptor mechanisms in the transduction of pain, for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, other clinicians, and undergraduate and graduate students, to aid in the development of pain management treatments. Introductory chapters provide general information on mechanisms in craniofacial and spinal pain conditions, followed by topical chapters on specific receptor targets such as potassium channels, neurotrophic factors, and adenosine, serotonin, and opioid receptors. The concluding chapters address selective delivery of analgesic agents. Contributors work in dental medicine, neurology, pharmaceutical sciences, psychobiology, neural and pain sciences, and other medical disciplines, in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Brazil.

| Publisher Summary 2 |
| A unique reference on peripheral pain receptor mechanisms While considerable advances have been made on pharmacotherapies for many chronic disease states, options available to treat chronic pain have remained relatively unchanged for decades. However, utilizing the receptors involved in peripheral pain transduction mechanisms offers a significant opportunity to create novel therapies for pain. A comprehensive review of peripheral pain mechanisms, Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia: Novel Approaches to Pain Management provides a unique resource that brings together a body of knowledge that was previously widely dispersed. As such, it gives readers a framework for further basic and clinical studies on potential receptor targets, as well as the development of improved topical analgesics. Coverage includes:
An unmatched resource for improving drug therapies and making pain management more efficient, Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia supplies pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, neuroscientists, and graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with a comprehensive, up-to-date reference. |
