Synopsis

The FDA approved the first new class of non-opioid analgesic in over twenty-five years. The CDC rewrote its opioid prescribing guideline. The IASP recognized nociplastic pain as a third mechanism alongside nociceptive and neuropathic pain. State legislatures expanded advanced practice provider prescriptive authority across more than half the country. And the DEA extended — then re-extended — telehealth controlled substance prescribing flexibilities while permanent rules remain unfinished.

Pain management has changed faster in the last three years than in the previous two decades. The references on your shelf have not kept pace.

Pain Management Diagnosis and Treatment Essentials: A Clinical Guide to Acute and Chronic Pain, Safe Prescribing, and Multimodal Care is a 2026 clinical textbook built for the providers who actually manage pain every day — nurse practitioners, physician assistants, primary care physicians, residents, emergency medicine clinicians, and hospitalists. It covers both acute and chronic pain in a single, focused volume organized around a multimodal treatment framework, with safe opioid prescribing treated as a structural pillar rather than a footnote chapter.

Written for clinicians who need depth without bulk, this text delivers the reasoning behind the protocols — pathophysiology through diagnosis through treatment — so you understand why a strategy works, not just what to prescribe.

What You Will Find Inside:
  • Pain neuroanatomy, nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain mechanisms — including the updated IASP classification and ICD-11 chronic primary pain criteria
  • Comprehensive pharmacotherapy: NSAIDs, opioids, adjuvant analgesics, local anesthetics, and the emerging NaV1.8 inhibitor class
  • A complete safe prescribing framework: CDC 2022 guideline application, PDMP integration, urine drug testing interpretation, naloxone co-prescribing, and risk mitigation strategies
  • Acute pain management across perioperative, emergency, trauma, burn, and sickle cell settings
  • Chronic pain syndromes: low back pain, neuropathic pain, headache, visceral and pelvic pain, cancer pain, and fibromyalgia
  • Interventional procedures explained for the non-interventionalist — from trigger point injections through closed-loop spinal cord stimulation and regenerative medicine
  • Physical rehabilitation, psychological therapies, and integrative approaches as equal treatment pillars
  • Special populations: pediatric, geriatric, obstetric, and patients with substance use disorders
  • APP scope of practice, billing and coding, telehealth prescribing regulations, and career development in pain medicine
  • More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes
  • Clinical images and illustrations throughout the text

Whether you are managing a patient's first episode of acute low back pain, tapering a long-term opioid regimen, or deciding when an interventional referral is warranted, this book gives you the clinical reasoning, the current evidence, and the practical tools to act with confidence.
