Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
Pain01:20

Pain

Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Peripheral Artery Disease V: Postoperative Nursing Management

During the postoperative period, it is crucial to focus on maintaining circulation, identifying and managing potential complications, and planning for discharge.Nursing AssessmentVital signs monitoring: Regularly monitor vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, to detect early signs of complications such as bleeding and infection.Circulation assessment: Monitor pulses, perform Doppler assessments, and check capillary refill, color, temperature, and...
Nociception01:44

Nociception

Nociception—the ability to feel pain—is essential for an organism’s survival and overall well-being. Noxious stimuli such as piercing pain from a sharp object, heat from an open flame, or contact with corrosive chemicals are first detected by sensory receptors, called nociceptors, located on nerve endings. Nociceptors express ion channels that convert noxious stimuli into electrical signals. When these signals reach the brain via sensory neurons, they are perceived as pain. Thus, pain helps the...
Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Nociceptive and neuropathic pain (NP) are prevalent after spinal cord injury (SCI), severely affecting daily life.
  • Neuropathic pain (NP) affects 40-50% of SCI individuals, often becoming the primary challenge.
  • Current treatments for SCI-NP, including anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and opioids, show limited success and carry side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore patient experiences and unmet needs in managing SCI-related pain.
  • To identify patient-preferred alternative and complementary pain management strategies.
  • To highlight the gap between clinical recommendations and patient expectations for SCI pain relief.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study analyzing patient-reported experiences with SCI pain.
  • Investigation into patient-led coping mechanisms and information-seeking behaviors.
  • Analysis of patient dissatisfaction with current pain management and physician communication.

Main Results:

  • Patients actively seek alternatives to medication due to efficacy, side effects, and dependency concerns.
  • Individuals with SCI develop and utilize self-management strategies like relaxation, massage, and physical activity.
  • Significant dissatisfaction exists regarding pain management information and physician communication.

Conclusions:

  • There is a notable discrepancy between established SCI pain treatment protocols and patient needs and expectations.
  • Patients desire more comprehensive information and better communication regarding pain causes and management.
  • Incorporating patient perspectives is essential for improving SCI pain management strategies.
