The book will reassure those suffering from chronic pain and readers that pains can be treated, and not just be ‘managed’. Contemporary pain management comprises some very sophisticated treatments, which address various parts of the nervous system that have been historically assumed to be responsible for pain. The author's approach is that all neuropathic pains are neuromyopathic with a major muscle pain component where the muscles are the final common factor in all chronic pains. This premise led to the innovation of a new system of pain management, which has been gratifyingly effective, providing cures for many complicated conditions. The book is about the discovery that many types of chronic pain are curable and others easily manageable. The novel concepts developed by the author and her research on pain management are described in this book. These are unique, and will be of interest to doctors, researchers, students, and patients.

Lakshmi Champak Vas, an erstwhile chief anaesthesiologist at Wadia Children’s Hospital Mumbai, is a pioneer in pediatric regional anaesthesia. She introduced regional nerve blocks almost 40 years ago to make anaesthesia safer and to ensure complete relief from pain during anaesthesia and post-operative periods for infants and children. There has been a paradigm shift in Dr Vas’s focus, i.e., from paediatric anaesthesia to pain management. She established Ashirvad Institute for Pain Management and Research (AIPMR) in 2005, one of the earliest pain management clinics in India. AIPMR is presently a post-graduate training centre, affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences. She has published extensively on paediatric anaesthesia and the success of her innovative, out of box ideas in chronic pain in reputed journals.
