This volume attempts to summarize the current state of knowledge on mechanisms underlying the various effects of analgesics, their side effect profiles, and their indications and contraindications in clinical use. It also gives insights into current efforts to discover novel mechanisms underlying the generation of different types of pain and the resulting development of new modulating compounds.
