Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

429
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...

Opioid Receptors: Overview01:22

Opioid Receptors: Overview

439
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2,...

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners01:20

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners

167
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

210
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

430
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

155
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Area of Science:

  • Addiction research
  • Psychology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Opioid use disorder (OUD) presents a significant public health challenge.
  • Co-occurring symptoms like smoking, chronic pain, and anxiety exacerbate OUD severity and prevalence.
  • Current OUD management requires innovative, holistic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel theoretical framework, the Complexity of Opioid Use Disorder Model (COUDM).
  • To integrate the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TOUS) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) for a comprehensive understanding of OUD.
  • To inform improved OUD treatment strategies by addressing biopsychosocial factors and symptom clusters.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes a new theoretical framework, COUDM.
  • COUDM synthesizes TOUS and SDT to capture the multifaceted nature of OUD.
  • The framework considers influencing factors, interconnected conditions, and individual motivation based on psychological needs.

Main Results:

  • SDT-informed OUD treatment is linked to increased patient engagement.
  • Intrinsic and autonomous motivation, as per SDT, correlates with reduced drug relapse rates.
  • COUDM offers a multidimensional perspective on OUD, integrating biopsychosocial elements.

Conclusions:

  • Novel theoretical frameworks are essential for advancing OUD patient care.
  • COUDM provides a holistic structure for understanding and managing OUD.
  • This framework aims to guide the development of more effective OUD treatment strategies for a better patient future.
