Publisher's Synopsis
Receiving appropriate treatment for any medical condition requires providing complete and accurate information to your medical team. Often, it will require more than one visit to more than one medical professional. Each visit requires completing similar forms and each of those professionals will likely ask many of the same questions, but with a slightly different focus. This book has been designed and tested to help shorten the frequently long and arduous process of diagnosing and successfully managing pain. The needs of the patient, the clinician, and the many supportive members of the medical team (including the patient's family) are perfectly balanced. This book is modeled on the principles of good clinical practices and patient questionnaire requirements for clinical study protocols. Each page provides a graphic snapshot of critical data and factors related to the many causes of pain, trends over time and treatment effectiveness. It is an invaluable communication tool between the patient and medical team that leads to faster solutions for effective treatment and better treatment compliance for the patient. Included Documents and Features: - Examples for completing each set of data records - Comprehensive personal and family medical history section detailing contributing health conditions and possible inherited traits - Monthly data summaries for easy long term trend analysis - Daily data records condensing critical information for diagnostic and treatment evaluation and trend analysis
