31
Q

why do we need to not use pain catastophizing in front of patient

A

may seem to dismiss the
medical basis of pain, question the authenticity of pain complaints, or blame individuals for their pain

32
Q

what is pain catastiophizing

A

Pain catastrophizing is an exaggerated threat appraisal of one’s pain.

“an exaggerated negative
‘mental set’ brought to bear during actual or anticipated pain experience”

33
Q

what is the most common way to measure pain catastrophizing

A

pain catastrophizing scale (PCS)

34
Q

at which score on the PCS there’s priority to address PCS

A

> 20

35
Q

what are the 3 step of pain catastrophizing

A
  1. rumination
  2. magnification
  3. helplessness
36
Q

what do you need to do after admitstering the PCS

A
  1. homework: pain reaction journal

2.Review entries
Using patient’s story, show links between the pain experience vs. thoughts & feeling vs. what patient did (coping behaviour)

3.brainstorm alternative ways of coping

37
Q

what is pain-related fear

A

mainly conceptualized as an emotional reaction that motivates protective behaviour

usually refers to fear of the pain itself or fear of doing physical movement/activity that could worsen the pain, injury, or cause re-injury.

38
Q

what questionnaire can you give to assess pain-related fear

A

TSK-11 -> priority to address it when total score is >25

39
Q

pain-related fear and fear-avoidant are emotional or behavior

A

pain-related: emotional

fear-avoidant: behavior

40
Q

What is the purpose of using a patient-reported outcome measure, such as a questionnaire?

A

TO OVERCOME THE LIMITATIONS OF THE SUBJECTIVE (Narrative) ASSESSMENT

41
Q

Patient-reported outcome measures are/have:

A

Standardized
* Psychometric properties: reliability, validity, etc.
* Limit bias (e.g., avoid leading questions/convo)
* Documentation quality: charting, legal, insurance, etc.

42
Q

what is pain experience

A

defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, and is understood to be a function of the whole person.”

43
Q

what is pain expression and contain what

A

the broad collection of qualitative words and behaviors that communicate pain”

pain narrative and pain behavior

44
Q

what is pain narrative

A

“representing the words used to describe pain”

45
Q

what are the two main element to assess pain

A

COMPASSION-BASED MANAGEMENT (humanistic, patient-centered)

MECHANISM-BASED MANAGEMENT (causation, multifactorial)

46
Q

what is therapeutic alliance

A

a trusting connection and
rapport established between therapist and client through collaboration, communication, therapist empathy and mutual understanding and respect

47
Q

what are the communication strategies to help with the narrative assessment

A
  1. gradually crossing levels of intimacy: ask what happen, describe pain, symptom, limitation than ask how it impact their life, thought and feeling
  2. OARS
    - open-ended question: tell me about the injury
    - affirming: Provide validation of the lived experience,
    - reflecting:Reflect back
    key points they said so that
    with EMPATHY to
    patient (repeat/paraphrase) the patient feels heard + you check your understanding
    - summarizing: Provide validation of the lived experience,

Forward-pacing technique:
- Reflect (repeat/paraphrase) the last thing a patient said
➢ Jump ahead to where you think this story is going ➢And then use one of the prompts for follow-up questions

48
Q

Fostering PATIENT AUTONOMY must be done in a _ way or else it won’t stick…

A

person-centered

49
Q

what are the stage of change of the trans-theorical model

A

pre-contemplation
contemplation
preparation
action
maintenance

50
Q

what are the 6 principles of trauma-informed care

A
  • safety
  • trustworthiness and transparency
  • peer support
  • collaboration and mutuality
  • empowerment, voice, and choice
  • cultural, historical, and gender issues
51
Q

what is an active treatment

A

patient learns how to do the treatment from the therapist, and then applies it to themselves autonomously.

52
Q

what is a passive treatment

A

the therapist applies the treatment to the patient; patient is on the receiving end.

53
Q

T/F manual therapy is an effective to treatment for nociceptive and nociplastic pain

A

T

54
Q

benefit of pain neuroscience education

A

painneuroscienceeducation” addressing unhelpful misconceptions or lack of knowledge about pain/injury/recovery process

55
Q

what is exercise-induced hyperalgesia

A

when exercise’s “helpful” pain modulation mechanisms are reversed or weak.

56
Q

what is pain continent

A

Let pain be my guide! ➢ May encourage
AVOIDANCE (problem with natural pacing vs. more intense functional pacing introduced as a treatment intervention) and HYPERVIGILANCE

57
Q

what is time continent

A

Focus only on exercise / physical activity as prescribed (do it for the prescribed amount of time/reps/sets/frequency), regardless of whether pain increases during or after.
➢ May need to start pain- contingent first, then go to time-contingent.

58
Q

during graded exercise what is the starting point

A

general (non-specific) aerobic or strength training focusing on unaffected body parts.

59
Q

during graded exercise you will progress to

A

Specific strength training focusing on the affected body part

60
Q

what are the strategies to responses to an overwhelmed patient

A
  • LISTEN AND VALIDATE DISTRESS
    (SHOW COMPASSION)

EXPLORE WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE DISTRESS (WHY UPSET?)

EVALUATE HOW THEY ARE COPING WITH THE DISTRESS
(DO THEY HAVE APPROPRIATE COPING RESOURCES?)

WHEN APPROPRIATE, GET BACK TO FOCUSING ON MANAGING THE PAIN/INJURY, OR
REFER OUT FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

61
Q

what is trauma

A

experiences that cause intense physical and psychological stress reactions.

62
Q

- Vicarious
- Interpersonal
- Domestic violence - System-oriented

63
Q

The odds of chronic pain in adulthood are nearly
double when ≥ _ACEs !

A

4

64
Q

A key aspect of trauma-informed services is to

A

create an environment where service users do not experience further traumatization or re-traumatization (events that reflect earlier experiences of powerlessness and loss of control) and where they can make decisions about their treatment needs at a pace that feels safe to them.

65
Q

T/F Insomnia increases the risk of depression.

A

T

66
Q

T/F Sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of stroke.

A

T

67
Q

what are the 2 physiological force that govern the sleep cycle

A

homeostatic process -> sleep pressure

circadian process -> wakefulness pressure

68
Q

what are the 2 hormones involves in sleep cycle

A

melatonin -> increase melatonin = increase sleepiness

cortisol -> increase cortisol = decrease sleepiness, increase wake up time

69
Q

what is sleep deprivation

A

➢ Drowsiness
➢ Falling asleep very quickly
➢ Sleep hygiene tips can assist
➢ Make sleep a priority

70
Q

insomnia exemple

A

➢ Being awake when you want to sleep
➢ Sleep hygiene tips might not be sufficient

: Build sleep pressure and trigger a sleep rebound at the right moment o For example:
