Pain Management Flashcards
Increased sensitivity to pain =
algesia
pain producing =
algogenic
a normally non-harmful stimulus perceived as painful =
allodynia
the absence of pain in the presence of a normally painful stimulus =
analgesia
an unpleasant painful abnormal sensation, whether evoked or spontaneous =
dysesthesia
a heightened response to a normally painful stimulus =
hyperalgesia
pain in the distribution of peripheral nerve
neuralgia
an abnormal disturbance in the function of a nerve =
neuropathy
an abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked =
paresthesia
acute pain occurs in what time frame?
<1 month
acute pain is associated with ___ or ___ tissue damage
actual or potential
chronic pain occurs in what time frame?
> 3mo
chronic pain = persistent pain associated with a distinct period of ____ pain of __ months or more that includes negative ___ and ___ experience
uninterrupted, 3, sensory, emotional
nociceptive pain is ___ and ____ in nature
somatic and visceral
non-nociceptive pain is ___ and ___ in nature
neuropathic, inflammatory
what type of pain is identifiable to focus, stems from tissue damage, is well localized, sharp, hurts at area?
somatic
what type of pain is diffuse, referred, dull, cramping, squeezing.
visceral
what type of pain is associated with autonomic reflexes such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
visceral
what type of pain results from damage to peripheral or central neural structures, resulting in abnormal processing of painful stimuli?
neuropathic
remember this is also non-nociceptive
what type of pain stems from sensitization of the nociceptive pathway from multiple mediators
inflammatory pain
_____ is the transformation of noxious stimuli (chemical, mechanical, thermal) to an action potential
transduction
which nerve fibers are fast, sharp, pain(6-30m/s) (reflex alert)
A delta
which nerve fibers are slow (0.5-2 m/s) dull burning throbbing aching
C fibers
Substance P is associated with which nerve fibers?
c
Substance P causes vaso____, extravasation of plasma proteins, degranulation of ___ cells, sensitization of stimulated sensory nerve
vasodilation.
mast
glutamate is associated with ____, ____, ____
CNS, A-delta, C fibers
T/F Glutamate transduction has an instantaneous effect and is associated with fast, sharp pain.
TRUE
Bradykinin : ____-algesic
peptide.
has a direct stimulating effect on peripheral nociceptors via bradykinin receptors
____ is an amine released from mast cells, basophils, and platelets via Substance P, causing edema and vasodilation
histamine
