Study Notes
- Pain is a complex experience with sensory-discriminative, motivational-affective, and cognitive-evaluative dimensions.
- Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.
- Acute pain is usually short-term, while chronic pain lasts longer than three months.
- Acute pain has a sudden onset, while chronic pain may be gradual or sudden.
- Acute pain is usually mild to severe, while chronic pain can be mild to severe.
- Acute pain is often caused by a specific event, like surgery, while chronic pain may not have a clear cause.
- Acute pain diminishes over time, while chronic pain may be persistent and may or may not have a cause.
- Physical and behavioral manifestations of pain include increased heart rate and respiration, elevated blood pressure and pallor.
- Pain management often involves centrally acting drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and gabapentinoids.
- NSAIDs and simple analgesics are also used for pain.
- Opioids may be used for the management of chronic pain, such as those related to cancer.
- Pain responses have four steps: transduction, transmission, perception, and modulation.
- Nociceptive pain arises from tissue damage, while neuropathic pain arises from the nervous system damage.
- Chronic pain and disability are multidimensional and influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors.
- Factors affecting chronic pain can be psychological, such as depression, anxiety, poor coping skills, and pain catastrophization.
- Pain can involve sensory or affective-motivational experiences—as well as cognitive influences.
- Some common goals of pain treatment are pain control, minimizing pain as much as possible, and improving quality of life.
- Pain assessment tools include OPQRSTU, numerical pain scales, and visual analogue scales.
