Resumen
El uso de opioides puede causar una mayor sensibilidad al dolor, conocida como hiperalgesia y alodinia inducida por opioides. Esta revisión explora estos efectos secundarios, los riesgos de sobredosis y los posibles tratamientos en pacientes con dolor crónico.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Farmacología
- Medicina para el dolor
- Investigación clínica
Sus antecedentes:
- Los opiáceos se prescriben comúnmente para el control del dolor.
- El uso crónico de opiáceos puede llevar a efectos secundarios paradójicos.
- La hiperalgesia y la alodinia inducidas por los opioides son preocupaciones importantes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar los efectos secundarios del uso crónico de opioides.
- Para examinar la hiperalgesia y la alodinia inducidas por los opioides.
- Para discutir los factores que contribuyen a la sobredosis de opiáceos.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la literatura de los estudios existentes.
- Análisis de los datos clínicos sobre los efectos secundarios de los opioides.
- Exploración de la investigación sobre las estrategias de tratamiento.
Principales resultados:
- La terapia crónica con opioides puede inducir hiperalgesia y alodinia.
- Estas condiciones aumentan el riesgo de sobredosis de opiáceos.
- Existen investigaciones limitadas en humanos sobre el tratamiento de estos efectos inducidos por los opioides.
Conclusiones:
- La hiperalgesia y la alodinia inducidas por los opioides son efectos adversos críticos.
- Comprender estos efectos secundarios es crucial para la seguridad del paciente.
- Se necesitan más investigaciones para intervenciones de tratamiento efectivas.

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
788
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...

01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
419
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...

01:22Opioid Receptors: Overview
1.8K
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,...

01:20Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners
360
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...

01:15Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
653
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...

01:44Nociception
29.4K
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.
