Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

980
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Psychological Therapies
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with hypnosis may enhance chronic pain management.
  • This study investigated the efficacy of self-hypnosis combined with self-care against other interventions for chronic pain.
  • Long-term effects of these combined therapies were also evaluated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of self-hypnosis combined with self-care for chronic pain.
  • To compare self-hypnosis/self-care with music/self-care, self-care alone, and psychoeducation/CBT.
  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of these interventions on pain and related symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • An open-label randomized clinical trial involving 203 chronic pain patients.
  • Four groups received: self-hypnosis/self-care, music/self-care, self-care, or psychoeducation/CBT over 7 monthly sessions.
  • Assessments included pain intensity, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, disability, quality of life, and pain attitudes at baseline, post-treatment, and 6- and 12-month follow-ups.

Main Results:

  • No significant group differences were found, but a significant time effect emerged across all groups.
  • Directly post-treatment, all groups showed improved pain attitudes and physical quality of life, with increased perceived control.
  • At 12-month follow-up, improvements in pain intensity, insomnia severity, and internal locus of control were sustained, alongside positive changes in pain attitudes and quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Biopsychosocial-based complementary treatments demonstrate encouraging long-term benefits for chronic pain.
  • Patients appear to sustain the learned strategies, leading to lasting improvements.
  • These findings support the integration of such approaches in chronic pain management.
