Understanding Chronic Pain
A Doctor Talks To His Patients
Understanding Chronic Pain is a personal narrative, a record of my passage among victims of chronic pain and the discoveries that have come from those encounters. I write for physicians, nurses, therapists, and caregivers, but mostly, I write for you who suffer the disease.

"Learning some of the truths about chronic pain in this book were at times disturbing but also enlightening. Dr. Cochran's clinical brilliance is obvious, but the most remarkable features of his work are his deep compassion for painful patients and his understanding of their disease."
