Pain Control Research in the Terminally Ill.

Levy, Michael H.

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v18 n4 p265-79 1987-88

Pain control research has contributed significantly to meeting those goals, but continued progress is needed in both basic studies and expanded applications of new techniques. (Author/NB)
