Physician versus patient-directed pain management after surgery – Brendan Carvalho, MD

back and hip No Comments »

Pain after surgery is traditionally management using standardized “one-size-fits-all” treatment protocols. Physicians generally select analgesic drugs and doses to treat surgical pain based on their own or institutional preference without extensive patient consultation or involvement. I will present a series of studies that we have conducted that challenges this paternalistic, standardized treatment approach. The feasibility and potential benefit of seeking input from patients regarding their personal preference for analgesic drugs and doses will be explored. Physician’s role should be to only present evidence-based pain treatment options and their potential side effects. Patient input prior to surgery can facilitate individualized perioperative pain treatment protocols based on patient’s preferences, expectations and needs. I believe this patient-centered surgical pain treatment model needs to be replace the existing “one-size-fits-all” model, and should be offered to all patients undergoing surgery.

York Circle – Chronic Pain After Surgery: Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Preventive Analgesia

back and hip No Comments »

York Circle - Chronic Pain After Surgery: Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Preventive Analgesia

Speaker: Dr. Joel Katz, Professor, Canada Research Chair, Department of Psychology, Faculty of Health, York University

A little appreciated fact is that every chronic pain was, at one time, acute. And yet, not all acute pains become chronic. Regardless of the cause, the vast majority of people recover and do not go on to develop long-term pain. In the case of post-surgical pain, certain procedures are followed by an alarmingly high rate of long-term discomfort and pain. In this presentation, Dr. Katz will review the epidemiology of chronic post-surgical pain including its incidence/prevalence in children and adults, identify the risk and protective factors for the development and maintenance of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) and outline the rationale for preventive analgesia, an anesthetic approach to surgery that may reduce the likelihood of developing long-term pain after surgery. Research points to the severity of peri-operative pain as a risk factor for the development of CPSP. What must be determined is the aspect(s) of pain that is predictive and whether it is a causal risk factor. Is it something about the pain per se, or the individuals who report the pain? Will aggressive management of acute pain alter the course and decrease the incidence of chronic pain? This presentation will address these questions as they relate to the development of chronic post-surgical pain using a biopsychosocial framework.

Osteopathy, Mindfulness and Acceptance based Programme

Website – http://bit.ly/34jPjPn

The Osteopathy, Mindfulness and Acceptance based Programme (OsteoMAP) was an innovative three year cohort study examining the effects of integrating psychological interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with osteopathic treatment.

OsteoMAP was the third in a series of research studies designed to expand osteopaths’ existing scope of care for patients with persistent musculoskeletal pain that could be partially alleviated but not completely resolved by manual therapy alone. The study was funded with a £256K Innovation grant from the UK Department of Health (ISRCTN 04892266), and developed in collaboration with Dr Lorraine Nanke, a Principal Clinical and Health Psychologist working with the Surrey and Borders NHS Partnership Foundation Trust.

The study focused on patients who were already receiving osteopathy for long-term musculoskeletal conditions and courses were provided in the UCO Clinic and in two NHS GP practices in South East London. Patients who opted to join a course (n = 256) took part in an individual course of treatment, consisting of six one hour sessions combining osteopathic treatment with acceptance-based exercises and home practices to develop and strengthen body-based mindfulness and self-care skills. The course aimed to enhance patients’ resilience and wellbeing and their ability to live more active and personally fulfilling lives despite the probability of ongoing pain and physical limitations. Data was collected from a set of self-report questionnaires at baseline and after six months.

At six month follow up, patients (n = 79) reported improvements in their ability to cope with pain, be active and their quality of life. Future research plans include the design of a feasibility study for a randomised controlled trial to compare the effects of the integrated OsteoMAP approach with standard osteopathic or medical care.
