Analgesia and Pain Management

1.4K
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Neurosurgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Post-amputation pain (PAP) is increasingly prevalent, affecting an estimated 95% of amputees.
  • PAP encompasses residual limb pain (RLP) and phantom limb pain (PLP), with PLP often being neurogenic and chronic.
  • The rising incidence of amputation necessitates effective PAP management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current medical, rehabilitation, and surgical management options for post-amputation pain (PAP).
  • To highlight the complex, multifactorial nature of PAP and its treatment challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of medical, rehabilitation, and surgical interventions for PAP.
  • Analysis of common and emerging pharmacological treatments for neurogenic PLP.
  • Evaluation of non-pharmacological adjunct therapies and surgical options.

Main Results:

  • Medical management includes antidepressants, gabapentin, opioids, and emerging agents like ketamine.
  • Rehabilitation strategies such as mirror visual feedback and CBT show efficacy with minimal side effects.
  • Surgical interventions, including neuroma surgery and neuromodulation, benefit select patients.

Conclusions:

  • Post-amputation pain (PAP) is a complex condition with origins in the residual limb, spinal cord, and brain.
  • Treatment is challenging and primarily relies on medical interventions, with ongoing research into surgical solutions.
