Question
Answer
Physiological signs of acute pain?   Increased HR, increase respiratory rate, increased BP, diaphoresis/pallor, anxiety, agitation, confusion, urine retention  
🗑
Physiological signs of chronic pain?   Flat effect, decreased movement/activity, fatigue, withdrawal from others and social interaction, waxing and waning, anxiety and depression  
🗑
referred pain   must consider when interpreting location of pain  
🗑
Somatic pain   superficial or deep  
🗑
superficial pain   skin, mucous membranes, subQ tissue sharp, burning, or prickly well localized ex) sunburn  
🗑
deep pain   bone, joint, muscle, skin, or connective tissue deep, aching, or throbbing diffuse or radiating EX) arthritis, tendonitis, myofascial pain  
🗑
neuropathic pain   arise from abnormal processing of stimuli by nervous system damage to peripheral nerve or structures in CNS numbing, hot-burning, shooting, stabbing, electric-shock like sudden, intense, short lived, lingering  
🗑
causes of neuropathic pain?   trauma, inflammation, metabolic diseases, alcoholism, infections, tumors, toxins, neurological diseases  
🗑
central pain   primary lesion or dysfunction in CNS ex) poststroke pain, pain with MS  
🗑
Peripheral neuropathies   pain felt along the distribution of one or many peripheral nerves caused by damage to the nerve ex) diabetic neuropathy, trigmenial neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia  
🗑
differentiation pain   pain resulting from loss of afferent input ex) phantom limb pain, postmastectomy pain  
🗑
sympathetically maintained pain   pain that persists secondary to sympathetic nervous system activity ex) phantom limb pain, complex regional pain syndromes  
🗑
Complex regional pain syndrome   dramatic changes in color and temperature of the skin over the affected limb or body part intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating and swelling  
🗑
CRPS type 1   triggered by tissue injury no underlying nerve damage  
🗑
CRPS type 2   diverse sympathetic dysfunction  
🗑
Treatment for neuropathic pain   tricyclic antidepressants (Elavil, Pamelor, Norpramin) SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbaltha, Wellbutrin, Zyban) antiseizure drugs (Neurontin, Lyrica) A2 - adrenergic agonists (Catapres) NMDA (ketamine)  
🗑
Visceral Pain   internal organs and lining of the body cavities cutaneous sites ex) appendicitis, pancreatitis, cancer affecting internal organs  
🗑
stretching of hollow viscera in the intestines and bladder that occur from tumor involvement or obstruction produces?   intense cramping pain  
🗑
types of visceral pain causes   surgical incision, broken bone, arthritis, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease  
🗑
Nociceptive pain treatment (somatic and visceral)   nonopiods (NSAIDs) and opiods  
🗑
Phantom limb pain   deafferentiation pain - loss of afferent input secondary to either the peripheral nerve damage or CNS disease Sympathetically maintained pain - associated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system  
🗑
chronic pain   severity and function is disproportionate to objective findings  
🗑
acute pain   functions as a signal, warning person of potential or actual tissue damage  
🗑
Chronic pain   longer than 3 months, persistent  
🗑
chronic pain   disabling accompanied by anxiety and depression  
🗑
acute pain leading to chronic pain   central sensitization  
🗑
central sensitization   enhanced excitability of spinal neurons peripheral tissue damage or nerve injury some people experience pain from touch or tactile stimulation  
🗑
similar to neuropathic pain   chronic pain  
🗑
breakthrough pain   transient, moderate to severe pain that occurs in patients with otherwise controlled pain. typically with cancer pain  
🗑
end-of-dose failure   breakthrough pain that occurs before the duration of pain relief that is expected  
🗑
acute pain treatment   analgesics for symptom control and treatment of the underlying cause  
🗑
acute pain to chronic pain example   pain associated with herpes zoster subsides as the acute infection resolves, usually within a month. However, sometimes the pain persists and develops into a chronic pain state called postherpetic neuralgia  
🗑
Early response withdrawal symptoms (6-12 hrs)   anxiety, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, diaphoresis, yawning, piloerection, shaking chills, dilated pupils, anorexia, tremors  
🗑
Late response withdrawal symptoms (48-72 hrs)   excitation, diarrhea, restlessness, fever, nausea/vomiting, abdominal cramping pain, hypertension, tachycadia, insomnia  
🗑
ibuprofen (Motrin, Nuprin, Advil)   use lowest effective dose for shortest possible duration. Increase risk of GI adverse events may increase risk of serous CV thromotic events, MI and stroke  
🗑
