Jun & Lee's M-Puncture & pain model(2판)


Motivation to authoring this book
Since 1973, We specialized in painful lesion and treated many cases via surgical and nonsurgical approaches. Each case was reviewed by comparing the pre- and post- treatment objective findings (CT, MRI, X-ray, and laboratory studies). Although objective findings confirmed good results, many patients still suffered from pain. In such cases, neuropsychiatry was consulted for further treatment. However, We continued to suspect that there was another factor that causes such unresolved pain. In 1999, a research article by R.R. Ji and C.J. Woolf from Harvard Medical School opened a door that would lead to the solution to our suspicion. Fortunately, the proposed mechanism in the article was supported by many other outstanding articles. Over the years, We continued to standardize the molecular mechanism of pain. The most driving key role mechanism was discovered to be altered coupling to signal transduction. These studies were integrated as a basis for theory and technology of M-puncture. An appropriate therapeutic tool was then developed to utilize this mechanism for pain treatment. In 2004 and 2005, M-puncture (Molecular Targeting by Needlepuncture) was developed as the effective therapeutic tool. This book takes a completely different approach from the preceding publications by providing an easy access and understanding of the pain mechanism and technology to medical teaching faculties and clinicians.
The driving force of the main mechanism is reflected in the molecular lesion in nociceptive neuron; therefore, previously existing approaches for pain treatment, both surgical and non-surgical, have had insufficient efficacy in solving lesion.

Preface
1. What mechanisms have pivotal roles to change good, adaptive pain to bad, maladaptive pain resulting in persistent uncontrollable pains?
(raveling axial molecular interpretations of chronic pains)
2. Revealing therapeutic target and tools to solve molecular lesions.

The two key points that will be explained are the following:
1. To reveal the molecular cause of chronic and persistent pain, also referred to as bad pain by Al
Basbaum, a graduate of UC San Francisco and a leader in the field of pain medicine.
2. To develop the therapeutic tool to treat bad pain.
