Content
Written by an outstanding group of internationally recognized authorities, the 6th edition of Wall and Melzack's Textbook of Pain provides basic scientists and clinicians with a current, in-depth overview of a comprehensive range of topics and concepts in the field of pain. It covers virtually every aspect of pain. More than 125 leading international and multidisciplinary contributors cover all of the very latest knowledge about the genetics, neurophysiology, psychology, and assessment of every type of pain syndrome, and describe today’s full range of pharmacologic, interventional, electrostimulative, physiotherapeutic, and psychological management options. Combined with a dedicated website for increased portability, it has established itself as an indispensable resource that should be on the shelf of every individual or in the library of every department that researches or regularly treats pain syndromes. Over 100 internationally recognized authorities, most of whom are from Europe and North America, are contributing to the book. In addition, we will retain an international advisory board to offer guidance on clinical areas.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
