categories of pain
nociceptive - localize - stabbing, aching
neuropathic - nerve involvement - burning, tingling
psychogenic - related to psyc
substantia gelatinosa
dorsal horn of spinal cord
gate keeper to regulat nociceptive fibers
NSAID
cox 1 and cox 2
reduce inflammation, fever and pain
reduce prostaglandins
corticosteroids
reduce inflammation
DMARD
work on inflammatory response
opioids
binds to opioids receptors
cannabinoids
mediate receptors in brain
modulate both ascending and descending pathway
anaesthesia
alter nociceptive input
gabapentinoids, SNRI, Trycyclic, antidepressant
alter NT level to modify nociception and pain perception
NSAID
aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, celecoxib, meloxicam
NSAID MOA
inhibits cox 1 and cox 2 enzyme - stop prostaglandins - decrease inflammation (anti-inflammatory) , pain (analgesic), fever (antipyretic)
may inhibit muscle fiber repair
most reversibly inhibit cox 1 and 2
aspirin
NSAID - irreversibly inhibit cox 1 and 2
analgesia, antipyretic, anti inflammatory, antithrombotic
avoid if GI bleeding
avoid infant, teens
Celecoxib
NSAID -
only cox 2 selective
do not use if CV issues
NSAIDS risk
GI (COX 1)
kidney, CV (COX 2)
Naproxen
NSAID - usually the safest
best NSAID for GI issues
celecoxib or ibuprofen
best NSAID if CV issues
naproxen
