Q

types of pain:
—- pain that arises from actual or threatened damage to non-neural tissue and is due to the activation of nociceptors
—- pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system (nerves that provide information about the body).
e.g. stroke, vasculitis, diabetes mellitus, genetic abnormality
—- pain that arises from altered nociception despite no clear evidence of actual or threatened tissue damage causing the activation of peripheral nociceptors or evidence for disease or lesion of the somatosensory system causing the pain
e.g. fibromyalgia, non-specific low back pain
—- Both nociceptive and neuropathic eg cancer pain

A
  • nociceptive pain
  • neuropathic pain
  • nociplastic pain
  • mixed pain

Q

morphine side effects;

A

Sedation, mental clouding/drowsiness

Q

read: CDC DATA

A

Nearly 15,000 people die every year of overdoses involving prescription painkillers.
In 2010, 1 in 20 people in the US (age 12 or older) reported using prescription painkillers for nonmedical reasons in the past year.
Enough prescription painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult around-the-clock for a month.
Nearly half a million emergency department visits in 2009 were due to people misusing or abusing prescription painkillers.
Nonmedical use of prescription painkillers costs health insurers up to $72.5 billion annually in direct health care costs.

Q

A

-Many patients discontinue long term opioid therapy (especiallyoral opioids) due to adverse events or insufficient pain relief; however, weak evidence suggests that patients who are able to continue opioids long-term experience clinically significant pain relief. Whether quality of life or functioning improves is inconclusive. Many minor adverse events (like nausea and headache) occurred, but serious adverse events, including iatrogenicopioidaddiction, were rare.
-90% of all addictions begin in adolescence
-Less than 13% of patients treated for overdose were also being treated with chronic pain
-75% of people using opiates were not prescribed them by their doctor
Main risk factors for opiate addiction are:
-Poverty
-Mental illness
-Childhood trauma
-US ranks 34 out 35 top OECD countries for child poverty (Romania was 35). Probably the main driver of opiate epidemic in US
