Providing for the first time a comprehensive overview of the common and different pathways and mechanisms of itch and pain, this unique title explores these two distinct and still somehow similar sensory experiences and utilize the cross-fertilization between the two fields to develop better treatments for patients. Itch and Pain: Similarities, Interactions and Differences is the only available, up-to-date guide to current information in this important area, ideal for basic scientists as well as clinicians in dermatology, pain, neurology, medicine, psychology, or other specialties.

Similarities, Interactions, and Differences

Itch and Pain

Hjalte Holm Andersen

"The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) and the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI) share a common mission of bringing clinicians and researchers to think and work together to understand pain and itch, respectively and help find better treatments for patients in both diseases. IASP has established a dedicated Special Interest Group (SIG) focusing specifically on the differences and commonalities between pain and itch pathways and mechanisms. Translating fundamental knowledge from pain to itch and vice versa can help targeting the development of new and better treatments. The purpose of this book entitled" Itch and Pain: Similarities, Interactions and Differences" follows these 2 societies' mission. It is edited by the past president and founder of IFSI (Gil Yosipovitch) and the present president of IASP (Lars Arendt-Nielsen) as well as by a researcher who trained in both itch and pain psychophysics (Hjalte Holm Andersen). For the first time the book provides a comprehensive overview of how these important sensations share common and different pathways/mechanisms and their interactions"--

Musculoskeletal Pain: Basic Mechanisms and Implications presents state-of-the-art research into the peripheral and central neurobiological mechanisms in musculoskeletal pain. Presented in three main sections, this publication will update the reader on the clinical perspectives in musculoskeletal conditions; muscle, joint, bone, and fascia nociception; and translational musculoskeletal pain and quantitative models.
