Analgesics and Pain Classification

Chronic pain is often short-lived and resolves quickly once treated.

Visceral pain is usually sharp and well-localized like a cut or bruise.

Neuropathic pain can feel like tingling or burning sensations.

The dorsal horn is where pain fibers exit the spinal cord towards the brain.

Superficial pain is caused by deeper internal organ issues.

Pain resulting from blood vessel issues is classified as vascular pain.

Psychogenic pain has a clear physical source that can be identified.

Cancer pain is often acute and easy to manage.

A fibers are the only type of nerves involved in pain transmission.

Referred pain occurs in the same area as the source of the injury.

The dorsal horn of the spinal cord is primarily involved in the transmission of motor signals.

Endorphins and enkephalins are endogenous neurotransmitters that help inhibit pain transmission.

Partial agonists activate opioid receptors as effectively as full agonists.

Buprenorphine is classified solely as a partial agonist.

Competing sensory stimulation can enhance pain perception by opening the gate.

Naloxone is primarily used for long-term treatment to manage opioid dependence.

Mu, Kappa, and Delta are the three types of opioid receptors in the body.

Opioids have a main use of alleviating moderate to severe pain, as well as suppressing cough centers.

Respiratory depression is a common side effect of opioid use.

Opioid analgesics bind at the dorsal horn to allow pain impulses to reach the brain.

Morphine, Fentanyl, and Oxycodone are examples of agonist opioids.

Opioid tolerance increases sensitivity to the effects of opioids over time.

Naltrexone is used to immediately reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

The body's natural pain relief system is disconnected from the central nervous system.

Partial agonists can provide analgesic effects at some opioid receptors while having a limited action at others.

Tramadol is an example of a full agonist opioid.
