16
Q

Hyperalgesia

A

Increase sensitivity to noxious stimuli

17
Q

Allodynia

A

Exaggerated pain response to a normally non-noxious stimulus (light touch, bed sheets, clothing, etc.)

18
Q

NSAIDs
- periphery

A

Control mild to moderate pain

19
Q

NSAIDs
- centrally

A

Hypothalamus
Reduce fever

20
Q

What released following tissue damage

A

Potassium (K+)
Prostaglandins (PG)
Bradykinin (BK)

21
Q

Prostaglandins

A

Increase sensitivity of the sensory nerve terminal to bradykinin and other pain-producing substances

22
Q

Prostaglandins
- sensitize pain receptors to mechanical and thermal stimuli

A

By lowering the threshold of C-polymodal nociceptors

23
Q

Induces the release of substance P

A

Impulses generated in the stimulated terminal propagate not only to the SC, but also to the terminal branches

24
Q

At the blood vessels what does substance P do

A

Vasodilation and neurogenic edema

25
Q

What releases d/t SP

A

Histamine (H) from mast cells
Serotonin (5-HT) from platelets

26
Q

What do histamine and 5-HT do?

A

Raise the levels in the extracellular space causing secondary sensitization of nearby nociceptors

27
Q

Histamine and 5-HT
- Secondary sensitization

A

Gradual spread of hyperalgesia and/or tenderness
