Tissue Response to Pain Flashcards
pain sources:
cutaneous
thru skin
pain sources:
deep somatic
thru bony structures
pain sources:
visceral
pain in diff area than injury
pain sources:
psychogenic
in situation resemble previous pain
sclerotomic pain
Deep, aching, and poorly localized; slow and fast characteristics
dermatomic pain
sharp and well localized
fast v slow pain
fast: pain accelerates when doing more in that area
slow: always hurts (throbbing)
local v referred pain
local: pain right where the injury occurred
referred: pain diff area than injury
myofascial pain
Trigger points: hyper contracted knot or a hyper irritable spot in the facia surrounding the muscle (feels like a P)
Referred to a reference zone
Causes shooting pain
nociceptors
receptors in body to recognize pain
- periosteum, skin, teeth, organs
- afferent nerve fibers: transmit pulses towards spinal cord
healing process phases
- inflammatory response
- fibroblastic repair
- maturation and remodeling
Goals of inflammation
- protect the area
- localize the injury
- decrease injurious agents
- prepare for repair and remodel
inflammatory phase
- 1st phase of healing process
- body’s defense mechanism (need for heal)
healing (inflammatory response)
- begins immediately
- injury results in altered metabolism
- initial reaction by leukocytes and phagocytic cells
inflammatory response timeline
- Local vasoconstriction reduces blood loss at injury site
- Platelet reaction (clotting)
- Coagulation cascade
