• Sommario/riassunto: Conventional pharmaceutical approaches to pain management are not always successful. Using only those medications that have an official indication for a certain condition reduces substantially the chance of the patient gaining pain relief and may expose them to intolerable side effects. However evidence now exists on the use of other drugs, produced for non-pain conditions, and how they can substantially increase the chances of pain relief. Covering the most recent developments in this field, McCleane offers an alternative solution to pain treatment when conventional treatments fail.
