Online resources: Summary: Pain is ubiquitous to human experience. When pain becomes chronically persistent after acute injuries are repaired or as diseases progress, health systems are challenged to reduce pain's negative impact on an individual patient's life trajectory & chronic pain's collective impact on public health. This edited volume presents a diverse set of chapters that examine this challenge through the lens of vulnerability. There are special considerations for patients who are considered pain-vulnerable with respect to assessment & treatment & the variability of their access to good care. Medicine's practices, while increasingly being guided by evidence-based algorithms from large data, are also becoming more personalized & tailored to individual patient needs. Each vulnerable group demands a unique approach - this book reveals the details behind the history, examination, & therapeutic options available.
