Pain is a Very Significant ProblemPain is a Very Significant Problem
Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function, and personal interactions
Multiple studies show pain of all types is under treated
![Page 3: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pain is a Very Significant Problem
Good medications and treatments are available
Barriers (patient and caregiver) include lack of education, attitudes (myths, cultural differences), and regulatory/legal issues

Definition: Acute Pain An unpleasant sensory and emotional
reaction/sensation secondary to tissue damage Arises from injury, trauma, spasm, or disease
of the skin, muscles, somatic structure or viscera.
Corresponds to the degree of injury Self limiting- limited duration
![Page 5: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Definition: Acute Pain Serves a purpose
By inducing an organism to withdraw from or avoid a noxious stimulus.
Responds to conventional therapy. Decreases in intensity as the damaged area
heals and tissue repair takes place.

Definition of Chronic Pain
Any pain that Persists beyond the expected time after a physical
or emotional injurySubjective complaints are magnifiedPain is out of proportion to clinical signsIs accompanied by severe psycho-social issuesResponds poorly to conventional therapy

Readily responds to analgesics
Usually nociceptive in origin
CHRONIC PAIN Meaningless, cyclical,
irreversible
Persists over time
Adaptation
Less amenable to analgesics alone
Multiple etiologic componentsnts

of peripheral nociceptors by either mechanical pressure, high or low temperature or chemical mediators.
Usually acute

Key Principles in Assessment Pain is a multidimensional, subjective, and
uniquely personal experience
Pain is what ever the person says it is, occurring whenever the person says it does
Reliance on observable physiologic and behavioral manifestations in order to verify existence and severity of pain is inadequate
![Page 22: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Goals of Assessment Estimate severity of pain (0-10 scale, visual
analog scale)
Form clinical impression regarding etiology
Determine need for additional diagnostic testing
Formulate therapeutic recommendations which take into account the patient’s medical and psychosocial status
![Page 23: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

aggressively Where possible use oral route Consider age, previous drug usage, hepato-
renal function Monitor for abuse Monitor and treat side effects

infiltration by tumor, malignant obstruction,
infection of malignant ulcers.
Treatment: radiation → mucositis pain

Principles of Analgesia for cancer-Related pain Follow WHO Ladder ATC dosing for continuous pain Rescue dosing for intermittent pain Oral route unless contraindicated No PRN
It is reactive not preventive Requires larger doses to reestablish control which may lead
to side effects
![Page 35: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Principles of Analgesia for cancer-Related pain
![Page 36: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ATC dosing
Small fixed doses on a schedule to prevent pain
![Page 37: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rescue (Breakthrough) dosing
Fixed doses on a flexible schedule Analgesia is administered in response to pain
or to prevent predictable pain Key to success of pain management Similar to NG in angina Use immediate release opioid or NSAIDs
![Page 38: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Calculating Rescue dosing
1. 25-50% of the 4hrly ATC If ATC is 60 mg MS q 4 hrs, rescue can be 15
mg
2. 2-5% of the 24 hr ATC dose
3. Based on response, 50% relief from 2 mg morphine →4 mg should provide ≈ 100% relief
All rescue should be prescribed q 4 hrs
![Page 39: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Titrating dosage If 3 or more rescue doses in 24 hr
Calculate ↑ based upon total opioid dose ( ATC+ rescue) taken in the previous 24 hrs.
↑ both the ATC and breakthrough Increase by the following guidelines
Pain > 7 , ↑ dose by 50-100%Pain 4-7, ↑ dose by 25-50%Pain < 4, ↑ dose by 25%
When patient uses < 2 rescue, sustained release opioid should be started

NSAIDS Mechanism of action
- Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis
- Synergism with opioid analgesics
Mild to moderate pain
Different side effect profile from opioids
No tolerance or dependence
Ceiling effect
Limited routes
![Page 46: Pain Management Dr. Lamya Alnaim. Pain is a Very Significant Problem Pain has negative effects on sleep, work, enjoyment of activities, sexual function,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ea95503460f94badd23/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
NSAIDS Pain from injury, surgery, trauma, arthritis, or
cancer
Very effective for bone pain
Predominant effect on PNS→synergistic
All are equipotent

Opioids Opioid Agonist: bind w/ opioid receptor site in
PNS & CNS = pain relief
No Ceiling
Titrate to pain relief or side effects
Opioid Antagonist: blocks relief. Naloxone
Opioid Agonist-antagonist: + pain relief. Stadol, Nubain, Talwin (not recommended)

same agent for ATC and rescue pain.

Drug Delivery No evidence that other routes are superior or
have less SE. Choice of route depends on pragmatic
consideration e.g. inability to swallow Can only be done safely with knowledge of
equianalgesic dosing.

OralRoute of choice Simple, noninvasive Reasons for failure: inadequate dose,
parenteral to oral conversion made too quickly, dosing intervals too long
Formulation and dose dependent upon pattern of pain and severity
Long Acting Combined with Short Acting for Chronic Pain

Intravenous Most efficient for rapid titration, dose finding,
immediate analgesic effect. Bolus, continuous, PCA. Steady state better maintained with CI. Full effects of increase CI will not be felt until
steady state or approximately 5-6 half-lives. Therefore with IV Morphine 12-18 hours.

Rectal Morphine, hydromorphone Conversion from oral at 1:1 ratio Sustained release tablets of morphine can be
used by this route.

Prior to Oral Conversion
Patient able to tolerate oral fluids Oral therapy started prior to removal of PCA Pain control predictable and stabilized IV to oral conversion calculated Side effects under control

Example of Conversion Total morphine for 24 hours on PCA= 60mg
Want to convert to Oxycodone.
60 mgm of MS IV( x 3) = 180 mgm oral.
To convert to oxycodone x by 1.5 = 120 mg oxycodone
75% as ATC = 90 mg = 40 mg Q 12 , but factor in 50% less for ICT = 20 mg q 12 hourly
25% as rescue = 30 mg or 5 mg Q 4-6 hourly PRN

norepinephrineSerotogergic processes are part of endogenous
pain inhibitory mechanisms TCA have analgesic properties related to
ability to increase pain tolerance Faster onset than antidepressant effect Have local anesthetic properties

Caveats With the Antidepressants•Start at lowest dose available
•Escalate slowly…every 10 -14 days
•Slow weaning, over a week
•Beware of drug interactions
•Check for
