Thank you for the presentation on pain management. A multidisciplinary approach utilizing both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies can help address different types of acute and chronic pain.
The document discusses bio psychosocial aspects of chronic pain from a social work perspective. It covers early models of pain from ancient civilizations, the transition to modern biopsychosocial models, and operational definitions of chronic pain. High comorbidities between chronic pain, depression, and anxiety are examined from biological, psychological, and social perspectives. Personality factors like catastrophizing that may relate to pain are also discussed.
This document discusses strategies for pain management, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Pharmacological interventions include opioids, NSAIDs, local anesthetics, and antidepressants/anti-seizure medications. Various routes of administration are outlined. Non-pharmacological options covered are massage, heat/cold therapy, TENS, distraction techniques, relaxation, hypnosis, music therapy, and alternative therapies. Teaching patients self-care techniques and evaluating pain management strategies are also mentioned.
This document discusses pain management for patients with advanced cancer or other terminal illnesses. It defines pain and describes common causes of pain in these patients, including cancer itself, treatments, and other associated factors. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain management are covered, such as analgesic medications, relaxation techniques, massage, and complementary therapies. Nursing assessments of pain are also reviewed.
This document discusses assessment and management of pain in the elderly. It defines pain and describes the physiology of pain transmission through nociceptors and nerve fibers. Pain can be acute, chronic, nociceptive, or neuropathic. Chronic pain is common in older adults and has many negative impacts. A comprehensive geriatric pain assessment evaluates multiple factors, including sensory experience, emotional impact, functional status, sleep, attitudes, coping, and goals of treatment. Proper assessment requires a thorough history, physical exam, and diagnostic tests.
2015: Pain Assessment, the Key to Treating Pain in the Inpatient Setting-YiSDGWEP
This document discusses pain assessment in inpatient settings, with a focus on aging and palliative populations. It emphasizes the importance of thorough pain assessment using tools like the numeric pain scale or behavioral assessment tools. It also stresses the need to assess for sedation when treating pain and reassessing patients on a schedule based on medication peaks. The document provides guidance on pain assessment and management for aging patients and those who are dying, noting the need to avoid assumptions and still properly assess and treat pain. It promotes the idea of bolusing pain medication before increasing continuous infusions.
This document discusses nursing management of pain. It defines pain, describes types of pain such as acute and chronic pain, and the physiology of pain including transduction, transmission, modulation and perception. It also discusses factors affecting pain, assessment of pain using subjective and objective methods, pharmacological management with non-opioid and opioid analgesics, and non-pharmacological approaches. The roles and interventions of nurses in comprehensive pain management are outlined.
Dr. Gavin Pattullo discusses updates in pain management. The opioid crisis highlights the need for non-opioid options to manage pain. The IASP definition of pain distinguishes between nociception and pain. The primary pain management strategy is to stop nociception using neural blockade and NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors. Effective pain assessment evaluates dynamic pain relief, analgesia, sensory analgesia, and opioid sparing. A strategic approach to pain addresses both the sensory and affective components, starting with blocking nociception before considering pharmacological or non-pharmacological options to treat the affective aspect.

This document discusses pain assessment and management after cesarean section. It provides information on common pain scales like numeric, visual analogue, and Wong-Baker FACES scales. It summarizes a study that assessed pain quality using the Pain Quality Assessment Scale in 153 post-cesarean women. Scores showed unpleasant sensation was most common, followed by intensity and tenderness. While pain interfered more with physical health, most women reported feeling healthy overall. Adherence to medication was moderate. The study concluded that age, education, and occupation impacted pain levels with primiparous women experiencing slightly more severe pain.
This document discusses optimizing pain management in cancer treatment. It provides an overview of concepts like total pain, the WHO analgesic ladder for treating pain with opioids, and the importance of proper pain assessment and documentation. The key points are:
1) Total pain includes physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual suffering experienced by cancer patients.
2) The WHO analgesic ladder recommends treating mild pain with non-opioids like paracetamol, moderate pain with weak opioids like codeine, and severe pain with strong opioids like morphine.
3) Proper pain assessment involves documenting pain scores, characteristics, causes, and impact on function to effectively guide pain treatment decisions.
This document discusses pain management. It begins by defining pain and describing the physiology of pain, including nociceptors, stimulus transmission pathways, and modulation. It then discusses various types of pain such as somatic, visceral, neuropathic, and acute versus chronic pain. Assessment scales for neonatal pain and general pain are presented. The document concludes by outlining pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to pain management, including various medications, relaxation techniques, and invasive interventions.
This document provides information on pain assessment. It defines pain as "whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever and wherever the person say it does". A complete pain assessment involves determining the location, intensity, character, onset, duration, alleviating factors, and aggravating factors of pain, as well as its impact on daily functioning. Types of pain descriptions include neuropathic, visceral, and somatic pain. Pain should be assessed upon admission by determining the location, intensity, onset, duration, quality, worsening/alleviating factors, and effects on daily activities like sleep, concentration, mood, mobility, and appetite.
1) The document discusses the history and modern understanding of pain physiology and management of postoperative pain. It describes how pain was originally thought to be outside the body but is now understood as a physical sensation processed in the nervous system.
2) Postoperative pain has acute causes from incisions and procedures as well as referred pain, and poorly managed pain can impair recovery. A multimodal approach using combinations of analgesics like paracetamol, NSAIDs, and opioids along with local anesthetics and nerve blocks is recommended.
3) Patient-controlled analgesia allows patients to self-administer opioids within safe limits and provides effective pain relief. Preemptive analgesia aims to prevent central sensitization by treating pain before and
This document discusses the critical role of nurses in pain management and the widespread inadequacy of pain treatment globally. It notes that 4 out of 5 people lack access to essential pain medicines, with 99.9% of untreated pain deaths occurring in low and middle-income countries. Nurses are often ill-prepared to properly assess and treat pain due to lack of education. The document calls for improving pain management education for nurses and addressing cultural fears and lack of resources surrounding proper pain treatment, which is considered a basic human right.
This study examined the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported pain, pain interference, and emotional well-being in adolescents and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas. 24 participants underwent electrocardiograms to measure HRV and completed questionnaires on pain and functioning. Results showed HRV was significantly correlated with pain interference but not pain intensity or disease severity, suggesting those with lower HRV and more chronic pain interpretation may experience greater interference in daily life. Psychological inflexibility was also associated with increased pain interference. Future acceptance-based therapies may help reduce interference and increase HRV by improving psychological flexibility around chronic pain.

Mechanical back pain is caused by abnormal stress or strain on the back muscles. It is diagnosed after ruling out trauma, inflammation, or other causes. Common symptoms include dull pain that is aggravated by physical activity like lifting, stooping, or coughing. Treatment focuses on rest, analgesics, physiotherapy, and patient education.
This document discusses pain, including definitions, types of pain, assessment, and treatment options. It defines pain and differentiates between acute and chronic pain. It classifies pain as somatic, visceral, or neuropathic based on pathophysiologic mechanisms. Assessment involves self-report scales as well as behavioral and physiologic measures. Treatment options depend on the type of pain and include opioids, NSAIDs, and adjuvant analgesics.
Chronic pains are highly prevalent conditions that are often linked through metaflammation and lifestyle factors. When pain becomes chronic, it undergoes pathological changes including sensitization of the peripheral and central nervous system. Effective management of chronic pains requires a multimodal approach that addresses both the source of pain and pain control through non-invasive and minimally invasive methods before considering more aggressive options.

Trauma or injury causes the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve fibers, leading to pain signals being sent to the brain. The integration of these pain signals with cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors results in the perception of pain. When this balance is disturbed, chronic pain can develop. Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting beyond normal tissue healing time, typically three months. A multidisciplinary approach is often needed to treat chronic pain through non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods.

It discusses that tendinopathy is not always inflammatory and involves degeneration rather than inflammation. For patellar and Achilles tendinopathy, it outlines the typical clinical presentations and recommends validated clinical diagnostic tools. It also reviews the evidence that eccentric and heavy slow resistance exercises are effective treatments for both types of tendinopathy, with no significant differences between the approaches. The presentation emphasizes individualizing treatment and continuing exercises after return to sport.
Dr. Shekhar Anand presented on methods of chronic pain management to the Department of Anesthesiology. He discussed that chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than 3-6 months and can be nociceptive, neuropathic, or mixed in nature. Chronic pain is best managed using a multidisciplinary approach including pharmacological interventions like opioids, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, as well as non-pharmacological therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, physical therapy, and interventional procedures. The goals of chronic pain management are to improve function and quality of life, rather than to cure the underlying cause of pain.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is classified as a Somatic Symptom Disorder characterized by extreme pain, swelling, and changes in skin temperature and color in one or more limbs. It commonly develops after an injury or trauma and is thought to involve dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system. Symptoms range from mild to severe pain, sensory abnormalities and trophic skin changes. Diagnosis is based on patient history and ruling out other conditions, with no single diagnostic test. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including physical therapy, medications, sympathetic nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation for severe cases. Prognosis varies but many patients improve over time with treatment.

This document discusses how the stress of breast cancer can negatively impact relationships and health. It introduces "Jayne", a woman who waited six months to tell anyone about lumps she found, due to her many fears. The document notes that stress can cause over 1,400 chemical changes in the body and decrease healing and survival rates when sustained over time. It identifies common fears breast cancer patients have that activate stress, such as thinking the cancer will be fatal or that treatment is dangerous. However, perceived stressors may be more impactful than actual stressors. Managing fear requires caring relationships, keeping breast cancer in perspective through knowledge and communication. The document concludes by noting Jayne faced her fears with support and feels hopeful about her future.
This document discusses cancer prevention through lifestyle modifications. It notes that 50-65% of cancer cases are potentially preventable by lifestyle changes like not smoking, maintaining a healthy diet and weight, limiting alcohol intake, and exercising regularly.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
