Klappentext

Facilitating Adherence in Pain Medicine provides a practically oriented guide to understanding the conceptual models of adherence and non-adherence and methods to improve adherence, both with regards to opioid and non-opioid pharmacotherapy regimens, use of biometrics to measure and promote adherence and the use of behavioral techniques to improve adherence to both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain interventions.

Zusammenfassung
In the field of pain medicine, the interventions that can improve a patient's pain, mood, and functionality are only as effective as the patient's willingness to follow recommended treatment plans. Facilitating Treatment Adherence in Pain Medicine provides a practical guide to understanding and improving patient adherence with regards to both opioid and non-opioid pharmacotherapy, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain interventions, and use of biometrics and behavioral techniques. The book also explores the ethics of dealing with patients who are non-adherent. Facilitating Treatment Adherence in Pain Medicine is the first book to address the obstacle patient non-adherence poses to reaching therapeutic goals in pain medicine, making it an ideal resource for pain physicians and primary care physicians who manage patients with chronic pain.
