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...

Nociception01:44

Nociception

33.5K
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.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

804
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Chronic pain impacts biopsychosocial functioning and the existential domain.
  • Addressing existential concerns is crucial for comprehensive chronic pain management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient satisfaction with practitioner attention to biological, psychological, social, and existential domains.
  • To determine the relationship between satisfaction in each domain and patient functioning.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of 163 chronic pain patients.
  • Assessed satisfaction with care across four life domains.
  • Measured pain intensity, disability, life satisfaction, and depressive symptoms.

Main Results:

  • Patients reported low satisfaction with attention to social and existential domains.
  • Satisfaction across all domains correlated with improved functioning (less pain, disability, depression; more life satisfaction).
  • Satisfaction with the existential domain uniquely predicted all functional outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Patients feel underserved regarding social and existential aspects of their pain experience.
  • Practitioner attention to existential concerns is vital for improving patient functioning in chronic pain.
  • Integrating existential support into chronic pain care is recommended.
