This book presents current clinical knowledge relating to key topics in acute and chronic pain
in a multiple choice question (MCQ) format. Individual chapters are devoted to subjects such as
the anatomy of pain pathways pain processing evaluation of pain different pain syndromes and
pain involving different regions of the body pharmacologic and physical pain management
neural blockade and special procedures. Each of the MCQs has four or five answer options in
true false format and the answers are discussed in detail with provision of suitable
references whenever appropriate. Multiple Choice Questions in Pain Management will be
especially valuable for those who are sitting anesthesia board exams anywhere in the world. It
will for example meet the needs of candidates for the FRCA examination (in which 20-25% of
MCQs relate to pain management) or the FFPMRCA examination (Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain
Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists). In addition the book will be useful for pain
fellows and for all clinicians who are seeking to improve their knowledge of pain management.
