      La mésothérapie est définie par le docteur Pistor, fondateur de la discipline en 1952, comme « une allopathie injectable par voie intradermique et sous-cutanée superficielle, loco-régionale, polyvalente et minidosée ». Elle a été validée par l'Académie de médecine en 1987 et un diplôme interuniversitaire a vu le jour en 2002. Cette discipline, aujourd'hui de plus en plus pratiquée et aux champs d'application multiples, requiert un véritable savoir-faire. Élève du docteur Pistor, le docteur Le Coz propose un ouvrage de référence reprenant, spécialité par spécialité, les techniques et manières de procéder dans les différentes pathologies où la mésothérapie a fait ses preuves. Cet ouvrage couvre en particulier les applications de la mésothérapie dans les domaines de la douleur, de la rhumatologie, en médecine du sport, en médecine esthétique et en médecine générale. Pour chaque situation clinique sont exposés une démarche thérapeutique, le traitement précis et approprié avec les protocoles, les points et la profondeur à injecter, le rythme des séances à respecter, la technique pour pratiquer une séance indolore, sans hématome, et éviter tout effet secondaire. De nombreux encadrés rappellent au praticien l'essentiel des informations à connaître avant la mise en œuvre de toute application en mésothérapie. Enfin, un DVD permet au médecin de mieux visualiser les techniques d'injection. Cette deuxième édition fait le point sur les nouvelles méthodes et molécules utilisées. L'auteur décrit les dernières techniques médicales pratiquées en médecine esthétique et un nouveau chapitre est consacré à la lipolyse induite par la lécithine de soja, procédé de plus en plus employé dans certains pays. Dans le domaine de la traumatologie sont proposés des protocoles d'infiltrations et d'interventions chirurgicales en cas d'échec de la mésothérapie. Cet ouvrage donnera à tous les médecins généralistes, rhumatologues, rééducateurs fonctionnels, traumatologues du sport et médecins esthétiques, une nouvelle arme thérapeutique pour leur pratique quotidienne.

      Headache, Orofacial Pain and Bruxism: Diagnosis and multidisciplinary approaches to management has been written by clinicians for clinicians. It contains the collective knowledge of hundreds of years of clinical experience. The authors are drawn from a range of disciplines which regularly encounter patients with headache, orofacial pain or bruxism. They have described evidence-informed clinical practice derived from anatomical, physiological, and biomechanical concepts. Patients who present with headache, orofacial pain or bruxism provide a clinical challenge to make sense of symptoms, sources, and contributing factors. There are many structures associated with problems in this region and patients may call on any of a number of health practitioners for diagnosis and treatment. It is often beyond the expertise of a single practitioner to address all facets of the problem without the assistance of colleagues. This book provides clinicians with the theoretical and clinical information required to appreciate the role of each discipline involved in the management of patients with headache, orofacial pain and bruxism. Clinicians are encouraged to use a multidisciplinary approach and to collaborate in the comprehensive management of these patients.
