These are followed by a chapter on diagnosis and staging, which includes approaches to history taking, clinical examination, pain assessment scales, testing and staging. The book concludes with a chapter on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to management of neuropathic pain. The concise handbook format makes Managing Neuropathic Pain in the Diabetic Patient an invaluable reference for primary care practitioners and diabetologists who wish to keep up to date in the diagnosis and management of neuropathic pain.
