Abstract:
This self-directed learning module highlights advances in the management of pain. It is part of the chapter on physiatric therapeutics for the Self-Directed Medical Knowledge Program Study Guide for practitioners and trainees in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This section discusses neuroanatomy and neurophysiology pertaining to pain, gating theories, therapeutic measures, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, acupuncture, and behavioral methods. Advances that are covered in this section include various neural pathways involved in pain transmission, descending "pain control" neural networks, pain-modulating neurotransmitters, and the therapeutic use of pharmacologic agents and nonpharmacologic measures for pain management.
