Managing Pain Pharmacologic and Non-Pharmacologic Approaches

Pain Definition:

Factors Associated With Chronic Pain In The Elderly: 

Factors Associated With Chronic Pain In The Elderly DJD Rheumatoid Arthritis Low back disorder Osteoporosis Neuropathic pain Headaches Pressure ulcers Oral or dental pathology Chronic leg cramps Peripheral vascular disease Post-stroke syndrome Immobility, contractures Amputations

Total Pain: The Complex and Interrelated Dimensions of Pain: 

Total Pain: The Complex and Interrelated Dimensions of Pain

The ABCs of Pain Management: 

The ABCs of Pain Management Always ask the patient Assess the pain and side effects systematically. Believe the patient and family Choose appropriate pain control Deliver medication in timely manor Empower and Educate patients and their families Enable patients to help control their treatment

Pharmacologic Approach to Pain Management: 

Pharmacologic Approach to Pain Management

Pharmacologic Treatment World Health Organization (WHO): 

Pharmacologic Treatment World Health Organization (WHO)

WHO Approach: 

WHO Approach Five Concepts By mouth By the clock By the ladder For the individual Pay attention to detail

STEP 1 Mild to Moderate Pain: 

STEP 1 Mild to Moderate Pain Acetaminophen (2.5-3.5 grams) NSAIDS (no prolonged use) Motrin, Relafin, Trilisate Adjuvant medications Cox-2 Inhibitors Vioxx, Celebrex

COX-2 Inhibitors: 

COX-2 Inhibitors Advantages Better safety profile Selective inhibitor Fewer side effects Fewer drug interactions Disadvantages Allergies GI disturbances Asthma Elevated LFT Renal function Heart failure/fluid retention Requires monitoring of Renal & Liver functions and CBC

STEP 2 Moderate to Severe Pain: 

STEP 2 Moderate to Severe Pain Addition of combination opiate to Step 1 drug Vicodin or Lortab, Vicoprofen Percocet Tylox; Tylenol 3 Be aware of the total daily Tylenol dosage Tramadol (Ultram) Morphine, Oxycodone

STEP 3 Severe Pain: 

STEP 3 Severe Pain Substitution of Step 2 agent Morphine or Oxycontin preparation Oxycodone, Dilaudid Fentanyl patch (2nd line) Use of short and long acting preparation Combine with adjuvant

Opioids: 

Opioids Long acting opioids Methadone-Sustained release products Transdermal fentanyl Meperidine Metabolic accumulation Fentanyl patch Ease of administration Difficult to titrate- slow onset Absorption affected by muscle mass

Adjuvant Analgesic in Pain Management: 

Achieves a more favorable balance between side effects and pain relief of: Neuropathic pain Visceral pain Bone pain Adjuvant Analgesic in Pain Management

Adjuvant Analgesics: 

Adjuvant Analgesics Steroids Antidepressants Anticonvulsants Antispasmodics

Proactive Pain Management: 

Proactive Pain Management Anticipate painful events Avoid PRN dosing (<3 PRN QD) Use long/short acting combination Timing of administration of one has no relation to timing of administration of the other Treat pain early and aggressively Anticipate swallowing problems

Recognition and Prevention of Side Effects: 

Recognition and Prevention of Side Effects Constipation Nausea/vomiting Sedation/confusion Respiratory depression Drug accumulation Myoclonus

General Recommendations: 

General Recommendations Initiate pain management with immediate release form- adjust as needed Once at optimal dose - switch to extended release preparations Breakthrough medication on board 2-4 days for dose titration (long-half life) Chronic pain –Around the Clock Acute pain -PRN

General Recommendations: 

General Recommendations Reassess pain if opioid needs are changed Determine need for adjuvant therapy Employ oral route of administration Avoid IM route of administration Avoid Meperidine and Propoxyphene Use preventive bowel regimen

Case Study: 

Customer is 82 years old with prostate cancer, dementia, incontinence, and admitted after pneumonia. He is complaining of severe pain, mostly in legs and back. Demerol/Vistaril ordered in hospital. What type of pain syndrome is likely? What would be your approach? Case Study

Non-Pharmacologic Approach To Pain Management: 

Non-Pharmacologic Approach To Pain Management

The Pain Cycle: 

The Pain Cycle DEPRESSION LIMITED/LOST ABILITIES PAIN STRESS
