    Study Notes

    Pain Experience

    • 60% of pain experience is controlled by brain power, 40% by physical tissue
    • Pain signals travel from the site of injury to the brain through a series of neurons.
    • The Pariaqueductal Gray Area (in the Raphe Nucleus) is where the pain signal synapses with the 3rd order neuron.
    • The brain releases serotonin, which activates enkephalins, blocking substance P and reducing the pain message.

    Beta-Endorphin

    • Beta-Endorphin is an endogenous opiate-like chemical released from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary in response to painful stimulation.
    • It produces potent analgesic effects, which is why it's associated with practices such as acupuncture and "runner's high."

    Coping with Pain

    • Gaining a sense of control over pain is crucial for coping.
    • Passive Coping: Avoid activity and wait for treatment.
    • Active Coping: Engage in learning and exploring ways to manage pain.

    Pain Perception

    • Previous pain experiences, expectations, tolerance levels, pain modalities (e.g., placebos), body part affected, situation, time of season, and athlete's status all influence pain perception.

    Acute Situations

    • The ATC must establish control and stop the delay game.
    • A collaborative relationship between the ATC and athlete is key.
    • Distraction techniques can alter concentration and lessen pain perception.
    • Providing information can ease athlete's fears and reduce threat value, leading to less pain.
    • Factors like fatigue, emotion, medication, and depression can also affect pain response.

    Pain Management Techniques

    • Hypnosis, faith-based approaches, distraction, humor, emotional management (e.g., laughter), past experiences, peer pressure, cultural influences, and sport context all contribute to pain management.

    Kids Coping with Pain

    • Kids may overreact to pain, but comfort from a parental figure often minimizes the perceived severity.

    Pain Control Mechanisms

    The Gate Control Theory

    • Stimulation of A Beta fibers can block pain signals from A delta and C fibers.
    • The Substantia Gelatinosa acts as a gatekeeper, regulating pain and other sensory input.
    • This theory explains how non-painful stimuli (e.g., rubbing a stubbed toe) can block pain.

    Descending Control (Central Biasing Theory of Pain Control)

    • Mental state and psychological factors significantly influence pain tolerance.
    • Emotions, prior experiences, sensory perception, and coping mechanisms impact pain perception.
    • The placebo effect demonstrates the influence of belief on pain relief.

    Other Important Considerations

    • Establish good relationships with athletes.
    • Maintain comprehensive records.
    • Obtain informed consent for treatment.
    • Understand insurance coverage to protect against negligence claims.
    • Know the scope of practice for your profession.

    Lecture #4 Intro to Psychological Aspects of Pain

    • Pain is a subjective and multidimensional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.
    • It serves as a warning system to prevent further injury.
    • Acute Pain: Immediate in nature.
    • Chronic Pain: Lasts longer than 3 months.

    Categories of Pain

    • Somatic Pain: Originates from skin or musculoskeletal system (muscles, joints, tissues). It's usually localized and easy to pinpoint.
    • Visceral Pain: Originates from internal organs, is diffused, and can cause pain in different parts of the body. It's harder to identify precisely, often accompanied by symptoms like nausea.
    • Psychological Pain: Experienced without a physical cause or damage. It's emotionally driven and can be triggered by thoughts or anticipation.

    Nociceptors

    • Sensory nerve endings that trigger pain sensations.
    • Mechanosensitive Nociceptors: Respond to touch or pressure.
    • Thermosensitive Nociceptors: Respond to extreme temperatures.
    • Chemosensitive Nociceptors: Respond to chemicals.

    Categories of Pain (cont'd)

    • Referred Pain: Pain felt in an area away from the injured tissue. Occurs due to a disruption of nerve signals.
    • Radiating Pain: Pain felt along the involved structure (e.g., sciatica).

      • The heat of the moment

    Children and Pain

    • Children may overreact to pain due to their developmental stage; parental comfort can minimize the perceived threat value of the injury

    Pain Control Mechanisms

    • 1. Gate Control Theory: Stimulating larger diameter A Beta fibers can block pain signals carried by smaller A delta and C fibers
      • Substantia Gelatinosa acts as a gatekeeper, allowing either pain or other sensations to pass to the second-order neuron
      • A Beta fibers are fast, thick, and can inhibit the transmission of slower pain-carrying fibers
      • Examples:
        • Rubbing a stubbed toe can block pain signals
        • Applying ice can activate the gate
      • Key Takeaway: Non-painful stimuli can block painful stimuli
    • 2. Descending Control (Central Biasing Theory of Pain Control): Perception and mental state influence pain tolerance
      • Emotional factors, previous experiences, sensory perception, and coping mechanisms contribute to pain tolerance
      • Individuals can consciously override pain tolerance
      • Examples:
        • Playing through intense pain in the heat of the moment
        • Depression amplifying painful experiences
      • Placebo effect: Psychological belief that a treatment is working can reduce pain
      • Adrenaline can temporarily mask pain

    Psychological Pain Management

    • Techniques to manage pain include:
      • Maintaining a sense of humor
      • Patient/Pain education
      • Visualizations
