CAUSES AND ASSESSMENT OF PAIN
What is pain? Why do we treat it?
How do we assess it?
Pain Scales
WHAT IS PAIN?!• Acute
• Chronic
• Acute-on-chronic
Loeser, J. D. (1982).
WHY DO WE TREAT IT?
• Untreated acute post-op pain can lead to chronic pain
• Unmanaged pain can lead to depression and anxiety
• Causes sleep disruption
• Managing pain speeds recovery
• Patient more likely to ambulate, CBD, use IS, etc
• Helps the patient discharge sooner
Wells, N., Pasero, C., & McCaffery, M. (2008), Glowacki, D. (2015).
PAIN ASSESSMENT

ASSESSING PAIN• Functional assessment
• Expectations and pain management plan
• Patient factors
• Functional goals
• functional ability and self-efficacy
• Sleep patterns?
• Mild vs moderate vs severe

Valley Policy
MIKE FRAPPE
• Mike Frappe is a 36 year old male, admitted with cellulitis to his right foot. His only other history is back pain and seasonal allergies. Two weeks ago, he “laid down” his motorcycle and got some “wicked road rash” on his ankle and foot. It is now red, painful and he cannot put weight on that foot. He went to urgent care a week ago, they gave him some antibiotics and “pain pills”, but he says “nothing is working”.
What type of pain is he experiencing?
What questions would you ask him to assess his pain?
• He tells you he came to the hospital because he “wanted this pain to go away!”
Discuss pain management goals for Mr. Frappe.
PAIN TREATMENT
Opioid pharmacology
Multi-Modal pain treatment
Administering opioids using dose-range orders
Non-pharmacologic pain treatments
OPIOIDS• Not always the first or best option
• Short term use is ideal
• IV, oral- liquid and pill, transdermal
• Most common PO: Oxycodone, Norco (has acetaminophen)
• Most common IV: Hydromorphone, Morphine
• Should be tapered before discharge
• What about PCAs?
Pino, C. , Covington, M. (2018)
https://drugabuse.com/library/the-
effects-of-opiate-use/
MULTI-MODAL PAIN MANAGEMENT
• The use of two or more drugs that act by different mechanisms plus non-pharmacologic treatments
• For surgical patients, multi modal pain management begins before surgery and lasts throughout
• pre-op medication, local, nerve blocks, spinal etc
• For chronic pain patients: medications and non- drug treatments
• Non-pharmacologic treatments:
• Sleep hygiene, exercise, CBT, acupuncture, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, etc
• Oral Sucrose is the first option for pain control for neonates
MULTI-MODAL PAIN
MANAGEMENT
• Treat pain and inflammation
• Side effects: nausea/vomiting/diarrhea (best if taken with food), bleeding, stomach ulcers, kidney damage, increased risk of MI and stroke
• Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aspirin, Diclofenac, Meloxicam, Celecoxib. IV: Ketorolac
NSAIDS
• Analgesic and antipyretic (anti-fever) effects, very little anti-inflammatory
• Minimal side effects, do not cause drowsiness or respiratory depression
• Can be hepatotoxic, must be used cautiously with impaired liver function
• Max daily dose 4 grams
• Comes in IV and oral route
Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
MULTI-MODAL PAIN
MANAGEMENT
•Baclofen, cyclobenzaprine, Zanaflex
•Relax skeletal muscle, cramping and spasms
•Cause drowsiness
Muscle relaxants
•Neurontin, Lyrica
•Neuropathic pain agent
•Can cause dizziness and sedation, use cautiously in renal failure patients
•Results in the use of less opioids and reduced opioid side effects
Antiepileptics
WHAT ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA?
• Hill, et al (2017):
“A recent meta-analysis of clinical trials of cannabis and cannabinoids for pain found modest evidence supporting the use of cannabinoid pharmacotherapy for pain. Recent epidemiological studies have provided initial evidence for a possible reduction in opioid pharmacotherapy for pain as a result of increased implementation of medical cannabis regimens.”
• Hyperalgesic and potentially addictive properties
• Other side effects: cognitive impairment, mental health issues, hyperemesis syndrome, respiratory issues…
• From 1999-2010 states with medical cannabis laws had significantly lower annual opioid overdose mortality rates compared to states without medical cannabis
• Chemotherapy induced nausea, chronic pain, MS
• More research still needed
DOSE RANGINGTHE VALLEY WAY
• Range order interpretation is stated in the Medication and Order Management policy
• The lowest dose will be trialed for the first time
• Assess soon after
• If the initial dose was not effective, give an additional dose, total not to exceed maximum dose in range.
• Once the dosing is effective, the time frequency begins at the last dose
• Next dose should be the be the effective dose
• Document any significant clinical info (procedures, PT, etc)
• May dose from low pain scale options if clinically appropriate, cannot dose for higher than reported pain
MIKE FRAPPE
Mike Frappe is admitted with cellulitis of his right foot from a motorcycle accident
Order:
oxycodone 5-10mg PO q4h PRN moderate pain (4-7), severe pain (8-10)
1500: Pt c/o pain of 8/10, burning, cannot stand even the covers touching his foot
1515: 5 mg oxycodone
1545: pt c/o pain of 6/10, still burning, can barely cover his foot
1600: 5 mg oxycodone
1630: pt states pain is at a 3/10, is resting and able to cover his legs with blankets
When can he get his next dose of oxycodone?
How much should the nurse give?
What if he c/o pain 9/10 and also had a dressing change due at 1600?
MIKE FRAPPE
Mr. Frappe also has an order for Tylenol 325-650 mg every 4 hrs for mild pain (1-3)
1600: dressing change
What could you give him if he cannot have any oxycodone yet?
What other non- narcotic medications might you request?
2000: pt states pain is 4/10, but is able to nap and his feet are no longer burning, just sore. He says that the oxycodone really helped his pain, but made him too sleepy.
What would you administer? What other conversations would you have with Mr. Frappe about his plan?
CURRENT CHALLENGES IN PAIN MANAGEMENT
CDC and Joint Commission new guidelines for pain management
The opioid “epidemic”
Patients with Opioid Use Disorder
CDC Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids• MME= morphine milligram equivalent
• Nonopioid therapy is preferred for chronic pain outside of active cancer, palliative, and end-of-life care
• The lowest possible effective dosage should be prescribed
JOINT COMMISSION GUIDELINES
FOR PAIN
• Develop a pain treatment plan based on evidence-based practices and the patient’s clinical condition, past medical history, and pain management goals
• Develop realistic expectations and measurable goals that are understood by the patient for the degree, duration, and reduction of pain
• Discuss the objectives used to evaluate treatment progress (for example, relief of pain and improved physical and psychosocial function)
• Provide education on pain management, treatment options, and safe use of opioid and non-opioid medications when prescribed
• Educate patients and family on the safe use, storage, and disposal of opioids when prescribed
MIKE FRAPPE
• Mr. Frappe may go home tomorrow
• His pain has been managed with Oxycodone 5mg/4hrs, plus 1000mg Tylenol every 8 hours.
• Occasional dose of Toradol for breakthrough pain or before dressing changes and PT.
Discuss what his pain management goals will be at home….
What should he expect as far as medication prescribed at home?
What discharge teaching will he need regarding his pain medications?
OPIOID USE DISORDERDSM 5:
“A problematic pattern of opioid use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress”
“compulsive, prolonged self-administration of opioid substances that are used for no legitimate medical purpose or, if another medical condition is present that requires opioid treatment, that are used in doses greatly in excess of the amount needed for that medical condition.”
American Psychiatric Association. (2013).
https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/
Paschkis, Z.; Potter, M. (2015).
CARING FOR PATIENTS WITH
OUD
Accept the patient’s experience of pain
Do not withhold opioids
Be aware of the effect of tolerance
Risk of respiratory depression is less than opioid naïve
HOWEVER: monitor for risk behaviors
Methadone/suboxone: treats addiction NOT pain
Treat patients with respect and compassion
MIKE FRAPPE
• It has been a month since Mr. Frappe discharged and he is now back on your unit. His cellulitis has turned into a chronic, non-healing ulcer. He also states his back pain is back from having to sit so much.
• Mr. Frappe tells you “My foot hurt so bad, I needed more of those pills. The doctor would not give me any more. That motrin made my stomach hurt, and I was afraid to take Tylenol, I hear on the news it’s bad for your liver. So I took some pills my mom had leftover from her hip replacement 2 years ago. Now those are not even helping. I ran out yesterday and I feel terrible. It hurt so bad, I even thought about drinking or smoking weed to make the pain go away, but I have been sober for 10 years now. I came to the ER because I need some help with this pain. It’s 9/10 right now, just throbbing!”
What kind of pain is he experiencing?
What questions do you have for Mr. Frappe?
What is the best way to manage his pain while in the hospital?
