We will be able to learn:
Definition of pain Types of pain
Classification of pain Assessment of pain
Pain management Scale Pain pathway
Physiology of pain
Pathology of pain
Management of pain
Definition:
“PAIN Is an unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience associated with
actual and potential tissue damage, or
described in terms of such damage”
It is always subjective.
(American Pailn Society) APS,2003; Gordon 2002.
Types of pain:
Acute pain
Chronic pain
Acute Pain
Acute pain often starts suddenly and feels sharp.
Examples: Renal pain, Stomach Pain, Acute appendix Pain Chronic Pain
Chronic pain lasts for a longer period of time. Examples: Joints pain, Oral cancer pain
Nociceptive Pain
Neuropathic pain
Mixed pain
Nociceptive Pain :
Physiologic Process
Normal Processing of Stimuli damage tissues Somatic pain
Visceral pain
•
Neuropathic pain
Abnormal processing of sensory input by the peripheral or
central system or both
Centrally Generated pain
Peripherally Generated pain
•
Mixed Pain
PHYSIOLOGY OF PAIN
How
pain is transmitted and perceived is
a complex in part because of the nature
of the fully integrated constantly changing
structure of the central nervous system,
and
the
symphony
of
chemical
mediators, only a fraction of which are
understood
Nociceptors (pain receptors)
Transmission of pain (nocicetion)
Acute pain travels via A-delta fibers Chronic pain travels via C fibers
Nociceptors most abundant receptors
Mechanical stimuli Chemical stimuli Thermal stimuli
Chemical substances
Prostaglandins (increase sensitivity of pain receptors)
Endorphins, enkephalins (suppress pain reception)

pain intensity
Etiology
DIAGNOSING- acute or chronic pain.
LOCATION
Classifications of pain based on where it is in the body
may be useful in determining the patient’s underlying
problems
or needs. Complicating the categorization
of pain by location is the fact that some pains
radiate(spread or extend) to other areas.
DURATION
Acute Pain
lasts only through the expected recovery period
whether it has a sudden or slow onset and regardless of
intensity.
Chronic pain
is prolonged, usually recurring or persisting
over 6 months or longer, and interferes with functioning. Mild
to severe, constant or recurring without an anticipated or
predictable end and a duration of greater than 6 months.
(Ackley&Ladwig, 2006)
PAIN INTENSITY
Classified using a standard
0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) Scale .
Mild pain- rating of 1-3
Moderate pain- rating of 4-6
Severe pain- reaching 7-10 and is associated with
worst outcome.
ETIOLOGY
Physiological pain- experienced when an intact, properly functioning nervous system sends signals that tissue are damaged, requiring attention and proper care.
Somatic pain- originates in the skin, muscles, bones or connective tissue with sharp sensation of a paper cut or aching of sprained ankle.
Visceral pain- poorly located and may have cramping, throbbing, pressing, or aching quality. Often associated with feeling sick.
Neuropathic pain- experienced by people with damaged or malfunctioning nerves. Low back pain
DIAGNOSING OF ACUTE AND CHORINIC PAIN
Acute pain can be mild and last just a moment,
Or it might be severe and last for weeks or months.
Chronic pain is pain that is ongoing and usually
lasts
Longer than six months.
PAIN PATHWAY
There are four process of pain pathway
Perception
Modulation
Transmission

OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT TOOLS
For patients who cannot communicate , objective tool completely reflects patients pain level
Examples
Critical-Care pain observation tool
Checklist of nonverbal pain indicators
Faces Scale, Series of faces from
happy to distressed
VISUAL ANALOG SCALE
The VAS is a horizontal ( sometimes vertical) 10-cmline with word anchors at the extremes such as no pain on one end and pain as bad as it could be or worst possible pain on the other end.

MANAGEMENT OF PAIN
PHARMACOLOGICAL
NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL
TREATMENT OF PAIN ON BASIS OF
SEVERITY OF PAIN
Mild pain: Paracetamol (acetaminophen), or a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
(NSAID) such as ibuprofen or aspirin. NSAIDS have antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. The antiinflammatory action relieves pain by interfering with
cyclooxygenase.
Mild to moderate pain: Paracetamol, an NSAID and/or paracetamol in a combination
product with a weak opioid such as hydrocodone, may provide greater relief than their separate use.
Moderate to severe pain: When treating moderate to severe pain, the type of the pain,
acute or chronic, needs to be considered. The type of pain can result in different
medications being prescribed. Certain medications may work better for acute pain, others for chronic pain, and some may work equally well on both. Acute pain medication is for
NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL
Non-pharmacological
pain
management
is
the
management of pain without medications. This method
utilizes ways to alter thoughts and focus concentration to
better manage and reduce pain. Methods of
non-pharmacological pain include:
Body-based physical modalities
Mind-body methods
Biologically based therapies
