Samenvatting

Peripheral Receptor Targets for Analgesia reviews the role of peripheral receptor mechanisms in the transduction of pain, providing a framework for the development of new and effective rationally–designed analgesic drugs and therapies with and promoting further basic and clinical studies on potentially interesting peripheral receptor targets. It uniquely brings together in one text the diverse body of work on peripheral receptor mechanisms of pain.  This comprehensive reference aids pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, and neuroscientists developing drugs and researching pain in achieving selectivity in drug therapy for more efficient pain management.
