21
Q

What is pain modulation?

A

dynamic process- can occur at multiple levels of the ascending and descending pathway

22
Q

What is neuronal sensitization?

A

arise when neurotransmitters are left to linger in the synapse
-due to failure in diffusion, enzymatic destruction, and reuptake

23
Q

What does neuronal sensitization do?

A

prolong the effect of the post-synaptic neurons, allow subthreshold input to recruit a response, spontaneous discharge, and increase the size of receptive field

24
Q

What is normal input of neuronal sensitization?

A

increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons

25
Q

What is the the subthreshold input of neuronal sensitization?

A

recruitment of a response

26
Q

What is spontaneous discharge of neuronal sensitization?

A

increased size of receptive field

27
Q

What is peripheral sensitization?

A

nociceptive neurons at periphery of receptive field
-increased responsiveness of noiceptive neurons

28
Q

What is reduced threshold to stimulation?

A

primary hyperalgesia

29
Q

What is hyperalgesia?

A

an increased pain experience in response to a painful stimulus

30
Q

What is central sensitization/

A

nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system

31
Q

What is allodynia?

A

pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain

32
Q

What can cause allodynia?

A

dysfunctional endogenous pain control

33
Q

What is the revised gate control theory?

A

myelinate non-nociceptive affect fiver can activate inhibitory interneurons modulating nocicpective transmition

34
Q

What does revised gate control theory do?

A

instinctively wave, hold, clench, your fingers when they burn

35
Q

What is diffuse noxious inhibitor control?

A

thresold for nociception can be raised when another noxious stimulus is provoke in another pain area
-pain inhibits painWh

36
Q

What is the placebo effect?

A

psychological
-leads to released of endogenous analgesic substance

37
Q

What are the different ways to categorize different pain?

A

neurophysiology, structures involved, timing

38
Q

What is nocieptive pain?

A

-pain resulting form damage or threatened damage to non-neural tissue
-activation of nociceptor

39
Q

What is neuropathic pain?

A

-pain resulting from the presence of a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system

40
Q

What is nociplastic pain?

A

-new concept
-pain that arises from altered nociception
-does not satisfy the defintions of nociceptive or neuropathic pain
-possible for a patient to present with nociceptive and nociplastic pain at the same time

41
Q

What is acute pain?

A

pain with close temporal relationship to a stimulus, injury, or disease
-tends to respond to treatment in a linear dose-dependent fashion

42
Q

What is chronic pain?

A

more than 3 months
-does not typically respond to treatment in a linear dose-dependent fashion
-presence of other/multiple ongoing pains is a predictor for transition from acute to chronic
-more influence of psychosocial factor
-more difficult to treat

43
Q

Most common psychosocial disorders?

A

-anxiety
-major depression
-personality disorders
-pain distress

44
Q

What are coping mechanisms for psychological disorders?

A

-internal locus of control
-perceived control
-catastrophic thinking
-hypervigilance
-fear avoidance

45
Q

What are the assessments for pain?

A

-pain intensity
-pain distress
-pain-related interference (functional limitation, disability)
-oral habits

46
Q

What is homotopic pain?

A

when the site of the pain is the source of the pain

47
Q

What is heterotropic pain?

A

when the site of the pain is not the source

48
Q

What is central pain?

A

source is central but percieved peripherally

49
Q

What is projected pain?

A

pain follows same nerve distribution as primary source

50
Q

What is referred pain?

A

pain in different nerve than primary source and is spontaneous
-not aggravated by palpation
-does not respond to anesthesia
-does not cross midline

51
Q

What is the most important part of pain management?

A

understanding why the patient is in pain

52
Q

What are examples of opioids?

A

codeine, oxycodone, morphine, hydromorphone, and meperidine
