"This book is mainly a description of peripheral nerve stimulation for different nerves in clinical practice of chronic pain.... [It] functions well for clinicians who practice peripheral nerve stimulations as it is very practically orientated.... Most of the illustrations are clearly labelled and appropriate, helping readers to understand the important anatomy, sonoanatomy, and lead placement of the peripheral nerve stimulation under fluoroscopy.... Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Comprehensive Guide is an easy-to-read, appropriately condensed, practical guide for those performing peripheral nerve stimulation in the clinical setting, particularly chronic pain physicians. This book is also suitable for learners in the field, especially with the added features of note-making and highlighting options for the electronic version. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for those who are interested in peripheral nerve stimulation in chronic pain in all capacities." --Vivian H. Y.
