title: Analgesics: the physician's partner in effective pain management.
abstract: Effective management of pain depends on sufficient knowledge of the pharmacology of analgesics, careful assessment of each patient's pain, and a change of attitude toward the use of potent opioid (narcotic) analgesics. Utilizing extensive experience and the results of studies at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the author rebuts physician misconceptions, recommends strategies for 25 medication problems, and provides oral/parenteral equivalencies of the most common analgesics.
