vasodilation. | mast
26
glutamate is associated with ____, ____, ____
CNS, A-delta, C fibers
27
T/F Glutamate transduction has an instantaneous effect and is associated with fast, sharp pain.
TRUE
28
Bradykinin : ____-algesic
peptide. has a direct stimulating effect on peripheral nociceptors via bradykinin receptors
29
____ is an amine released from mast cells, basophils, and platelets via Substance P, causing edema and vasodilation
histamine
30
___ is an amine stored and released from platelets after tissue injury
serotonin
31
what 3 substances are synthesized from cox1 and cox2, cause hyperalgesia
prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes | PLT
32
what substance is released in response to tissue injury and causes an increased production of prostaglandins
cytokines
33
___ is a peptide released from afferent C fibers. causes local cutaneous vasodilation, plasma extravasation, and sensitization
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)
34
___ is the process by which action potential is conducted from the periphery to the CNS
transmission | example is spinothalmic anterolateral tract
35
____ occurs once signal is recognized by various areas of brain
perception
36
____ refers to altering neural afferent activity along pathway
modulation
37
suppress = ____, enhance = ____
suppress = inhibatory, enhance = excitatory | SI-EE
38
suppression works on descending ___ pathways
efferent
39
___ inhibit COX, thereby stopping the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins
NSAIDs
40
30mg of IM Ketorlac is equivalent to ___mg IM morphine
12
41
dont administer toradol for >___ days
5
42
contraindications to Ketorlac include
coagulopathies, renal failure, active PUD, GI bleeding, hypersensitivity to NSAIDS, surgery with high potential for post op bleeding
43
MOA of toradol?
non-selective COX inhibitor
44
acetaminophen reduces ___ synthesis
prostaglandin
45
Opiods: CNS receptors are in the ____ horn, specifically ______
dorsal horn, specifically reed lamina II (substance gelatinosa)
46
opioids: peripherally ___ sensory nerve fibers in GI tract, lungs, joints
afferent
47
mu, delta, and kappa receptors: ___ channels are inhibited presynaptically, and ___ conductance is increased post-synaptically
ca, K
48
how do opiates affect adenylate cyclase activity?
decrease pre-synapptically - thereby inhibiting calcium channels, which causes a dec in excitatory neurotransmitters
49
what affect does increased potassium conduction postsynaptically on mu delta and kappa receptors have?
hyperpolarization, inhibits excitatory neurotransmission
50
T/F Ketamine is an NMDA agonist.
FALSE - NMDA antagonist
51
which receptor is associated with wind up?
NMDA
52
how do clonidine and precedex work at alpha 2 receptors?
- they inhibit adenyl cyclase and decrease cAMP | - activate postsynaptic K channels and inhibit presynaptic Ca channels which decrease neurotransmitter release
53
Should the patient continue their gabapentin, pregabalin, antidepressants, corticosteroids , methadones?
absolutely.
54
how do gapapentin and pregabalin (lyrica) work?
they are for neuropathic pain syndromes - inhibit neuronal excitation and stabilize nerve membranes.
55
how do antidepressants work?
they block the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the CNS, increasing availability
56
corticosteroids decrease ___ and ____ release
cytokine, prostaglandin
57
methadone has synthetic ____, ____ , and ____ receptor action
synthetic opiod, opiod, and NMDA
58
what are the 3 heuristic subdivisions of painful stimuli?
painful stimuli without tissue damage, tissue damage without nerve damage, and nerve damage
59
what are the 3 anatomic regions associated with pain
peripheral, spinal , cerebral
60
T/F Substance P and Substance P receptors are specifically associated with neuropathic and cancer pain.
FALSE. specifically associated with inflammatory pain, while diminished or absent in neuropathic and cancer pain
61
Chronic Pain: inflammatory pain produces capillary vasodilation, smooth muscle contraction. promotes ____ transmission of pain impulses to ____. via which 3 mediators?
promotes synaptic transmission of pain impulses to CNS. histamine, bradykinin, substance P
62
neurpathic pain commonly leads to ____
allodynia | pain from stimuli that is normally not painful
63
T/F Neuropathic pain is persistent, allodynia, and not managed well with NSAIDs
true
64
____ is the cyclic response to pain that leads to abnormal pain response
windup
65
neuropathic pain is thought to include the dysfunction of both ___ and ____ fibers
A (fast) and C (slow)
66
NMDA receptors are stabilized by __
magnesium
67
In the periphery, abnormal (chronic pain): magnesium displaced, _____ activated, ____ ions enter cells. exaggerated release of ____ and _____
NMDA. calcium. exaggerated release of substance P and excitatory amino acids
68
what is the low dose range of ketamine that has shown successful outcomes
0.25-.5mg/kg
69
T/F Cyclobenzaprine (flexeril) is useful for maintenance of long term chronic pain.
FALSE - it becomes ineffective in a few weeks, and is only for short term symptomatic reliefs.
70
what is the drawback of carisoprodol (Soma)?
it has the potential for dependence, tolerance, and mental impairment.
71
how does withdrawal from Baclofen present?
resp failure, hemodynamic changes, seizure, delirium
72
T/F Baclofen is NOT for use in chronic pain, rather it has specialized use for CP and MS.
TRUE
73
T/F Baclofen can be used for muscle spasms related to acute pain.
FALSE - baclofen should NEVER be used for muscle spasms related to acute or chronic pain. it was designed for extreme spasmodic conditions (CP, tetanus, MS) (per nagelhout)
