fibro and BPS model Flashcards
Nociceptive Pain is often due to what
an MSK injury
Nociceptive Pain - where is the pain localized
one area
Nociceptive Pain - what is Pain intensity associated with
mechanical load
Nociceptive Pain - Pain intensity modulated by what
cortical and brain-stem pathways
what is Neuropathic Pain
Something is affecting the nerve itself - they are irritated - Mechanical or metabolic injury to a nerve
Chronic pain that is not associated with mechanical load
Neuropathic Pain - chronic pain example
Spine: lumbar radiculopathy
Neuropathic Pain - irritant to the nerve example
Diabetic neuropathy
Phantom limb pain
What is nociplastic Pain
Chronic pain with no clear evidence of tissue damage or activation of peripheral nociceptors
Alteration of nociceptive processing w/in CNS
Nociplastic Pain other name
Substitute for the term “central sensitization”
what is anesthesia
numb - no sensation
what is hyperesthesia
pain to a non-painful stimulus
what is allodynia
extreme pain that is out of proportion
why is it important to take care of peri pain
because if it is not addressed then it can become central pain (chronic pain)
4 Steps of Nociception
Transduction
Stimulation of nociceptors triggers nerve impulses
Anything that converts one kind of energy to another
Transmission
- Sensory afferents transmit impulses to spinal cord
Modulation
- Impulses can be amplified, suppressed or transformed
by brainstem nuclei and higher centers
Perception
- Thalamus directs impulses to cortical centers = “Pain”
most pain is transduced through what pathway
spinothalamic
