Nurses' experiences with health care in pain clinics: A qualitative study

Background: Recent research has focused on the effectiveness of different treatment regimens in pain clinics,where a call for more multifaceted treatment has been highlighted.Less attention has been paid to improvements within pain clinics,and how registered nurses-who usually play a key role-perceive and experience the accessibility,treatment options and follow-up offers at public pain clinics.Objective: The overall aim was to explore and describe how nurses experience health care provided to patients with chronic non-cancer pain at pain clinics.Methods: We used 10 individual interviews with nurses working at 10 different public pain clinics in Norway.The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results: One theme was developed from the content analysis: "Nurses' striving to provide whole-person care in pain clinics." The nurses experienced allocation of limited resources as challenging,especially when the dilemma between accepting new patients from the waiting list and offering follow-up to existing patients became apparent.Multifaceted treatment was perceived as vital,although resources,priorities,and theoretical understanding of pain within the team were challenging.Conclusions: The needs for multifaceted and integrated treatments in chronic pain management were obvious,although this approach appeared to be too demanding of resources and time.Stronger cooperation between pain clinics in specialist care and health care providers in primary care to ensure better patient flow and treatment is required.Emphasis is placed on coherent theoretical approaches to pain management within the team in the pain clinics to ensure whole person care.

Evaluation of clinical outcomes in an interdisciplinary abdominal pain clinic: A retrospective, exploratory review

BACKGROUND Pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders(FGIDs)are common and wellaccepted to be etiologically complex in terms of the contribution of biological,psychological,and social factors to symptom presentations.Nonetheless,despite its documented benefits,interdisciplinary treatment,designed to address all of these factors,for pediatric FGIDs remains rare.The current study hypothesized that the majority of pediatric patients seen in an interdisciplinary abdominal pain clinic(APC)would demonstrate clinical resolution of symptoms during the study period and that specific psychosocial variables would be significantly predictive of GI symptom improvement.AIM To evaluate outcomes with interdisciplinary treatment in pediatric patients with pain-related FGIDs and identify patient characteristics that predicted clinical outcomes.METHODS Participants were 392 children,ages 8-18[M=13.8;standard deviation(SD)=2.7],seen between August 1,2013 and June 15,2016 in an interdisciplinary APC housed within the Division of Gastroenterology in a medium-sized Midwestern children's hospital.To be eligible,patients had to be 8 years of age or older and have had abdominal pain for≥8 wk at the time of initial evaluation.Medical and psychosocial data collected as part of standard of care were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed in the context of the observational study.Logistic regression was used to model odds of reporting vs never reporting improvement,as well as to differentiate rapid from slower improvers.RESULTS Nearly 70%of patients followed during the study period achieved resolution on at least one of the employed outcome indices.Among those who achieved resolution during follow up,43%to 49%did so by the first follow up(i.e.,within roughly 2 mo after initial evaluation and initiation of interdisciplinary treatment).Patient age,sleep,ease of relaxation,and depression all significantly predicted the likelihood of resolution.More specifically,the odds of clinical resolution were 14%to 16%lower per additional year of patient age(P<0.001 to P=0.016).The odds of resolution were 28%to 42%lower per 1-standard deviation(SD)increase on a pediatric sleep measure(P=0.006 to P<0.040).Additionally,odds of clinical resolution were 58%lower per 1-SD increase on parent-reported measure of depression(P=0.006),and doubled in cases where parents agreed that their children found it easy to relax(P=0.045).Furthermore,sleep predicted the rapidity of clinical resolution;that is,the odds of achieving resolution by the first follow up visit were 47%to 60%lower per 1-SD increase on the pediatric sleep measure(P=0.002).CONCLUSION Outcomes for youth with FGIDs may be significantly improved by paying specific attention to sleep,ensuring adequate skills for relaxation,and screening of and referral for treatment of comorbid depression.

Rose Hip Powder That Contains the Natural Amount of Shells and Seeds Alleviates Pain in Osteoarthritis of the Dominant Hand—A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Cross-Over Clinical Trial

Aim: A standardized preparation of seeds and shells of selected sub-species of Rosa canina L, trade name Hyben Vital, reduces discomfort from osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. This study aims to investigate the impact of the same rose-hip powder (RHP) on discomfort and the consumption of rescue medication, in patients with osteoarthritis of the hand. Methods: The double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial included 30 patients with osteoarthritis of the dominant hand. Patients were randomly allocated to treatment with either five gram encapsulated RHP or placebo, for three months (Phase 1), after which they switched to the corresponding treatment for a further three months period (Phase 2). Before entering the study, after 3 weeks and following three months of each of the study phases, scores for pain, stiffness and general feeling of discomfort were evaluated using a 10 step categorical scale, focusing on 16 different daily activities of the hand. The consumption of rescue medication was also calculated at the beginning and at the end of each study phase. Data are based on the intention to treat. Results: At the end of Phase 1, 90% of patients in the group receiving RHP first (group A), showed a reduction in pain, as compared to 36% in the group B initially given placebo (p 0.029). In line with this observation, stiffness and the general feeling of discomfort from the disease declined during RHP treatment (p 0.032). In group A, symptom reduction was still indicated by the study subjects 3 weeks after the switch to placebo. The consumption of rescue medication such as paracetamol, codeine and tramadol also declined significantly in group A when compared to group B (p 0.013). Conclusion: The present data suggest that administration of RHP, containing seeds and shells can reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hand and consumption of rescue medication.

Effects of acupuncture treatment on natural killer cell activity,pulse rate,and pain reduction for older adults:an uncontrolled,observational study

OBJECTIVE： The aim of this study was to examine the changes in natural killer （NK） cell activity, pulse rate, and pain intensity among older adults before and after acupuncture treatment. METHODS： Fifty-six individuals （16 males and 40 females）, aged 60 to 82 years （mean age 72.4 ＋ 5.0）, who were experiencing pain in the shoulder, low back, or knee, participated in the study. NK cell activity, leukocyte differentiation （granulocytes and lymphocytes）, pulse rate, and blood pressure values were obtained. Pain intensity was evaluated by using the visual analog scale （VAS）. The Wilcoxon test was used to analyze NK cell activity, leukocytes （granulocyte counts and granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio）, and the VAS score in accordance with the location of pain complaints before and after acupuncture treatment. RESULTS： NK cell activity decreased after acupuncture treatment for pain in the shoulder-pain and knee-pain groups. Further, the lymphocyte and granulocyte counts increased after acupuncture treatment for the shoulder-pain group. Pulse rate decreased for the shoulder-pain, low-back- pain, and knee-pain groups after acupuncture treatment. The VAS score decreased after acupuncture treatment for the shoulder-pain, low-back-pain, and knee-pain groups. CONCLUSION： This study showed that in older adults, acupuncture treatment decreases pulse rate, relieves pain in the shoulder, low back, and knee, and reduces NK-cell activity.

Clinical trial:Lactobacillus plantarum 299v(DSM 9843)improves symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome

AIM:To assess the symptomatic efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v(L.plantarum 299v)(DSM 9843) for the relief of abdominal symptoms in a large subset of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) patients fulfilling the Rome Ⅲ criteria.METHODS:In this double blind,placebo-controlled,parallel-designed study,subjects were randomized to daily receive either one capsule of L.plantarum 299v(DSM 9843) or placebo for 4 wk.Frequency and intensity of abdominal pain,bloating and feeling of incomplete rectal emptying were assessed weekly on a visual analogue scale while stool frequency was calculated.RESULTS:Two hundred and fourteen IBS patients were recruited.After 4 wk,both pain severity(0.68 + 0.53 vs 0.92 + 0.57,P < 0.05) and daily frequency(1.01 + 0.77 vs 1.71 + 0.93,P < 0.05) were lower with L.plantarum 299v(DSM 9843) than with placebo.Similar results were obtained for bloating.At week 4,78.1 % of the patients scored the L.plantarum 299v(DSM 9843) symptomatic effect as excellent or good vs only 8.1 % for placebo(P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:A 4-wk treatment with L.plantarum 299v(DSM 9843) provided effective symptom relief,particularly of abdominal pain and bloating,in IBS patients fulfilling the Rome Ⅲ criteria.

Conversing Rate from Morphine to Continuous Infusion of Fentanyl in Patients Suffering Cancer Pain

Objective： To investigate the proper conversing rate from morphine to continuous infusion of fentanyl in patients suffering cancer pain. Methods： A retrospective study was carried on in 20 patients with cancer pain in Shizuoka Cancer Center from Sep. 2002 to Nov. 2003. Pain intensity, adverse reactions, and satisfaction index of patients were evaluated. Results： The pain intensity was stable in 17 patients indicating good pain-control within 1 week after conversion and unstable in 3 patients after conversion suggesting poor pain-control. Fentanyl injection could alleviate side effects and increase the satisfaction index of patients. Conclusion： The equipotent ratio for conversion of low dose morphine to fentanyl injection was established as 72：1, and for non low dose morphine a ratio less than 72：1 was proposed to get stable pain-relieving effect. But the equipotent ratio for conversion of morphine to continuous infusion of fentanyl could not be determined. We must consider the morphine dose before the confirmation of the conversing rate.

Paroxetine vs pregabalin for the management of neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis

AIM: To compare the effectiveness and tolerability of paroxetine vs pregabalin for the management of multiple sclerosis(MS)-induced neuropathic pain(NPP).METHODS: A randomized, flexible-dose open-label 8-wk study involving 21 relapsing-remitting MS patients with MS-induced NPP was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of pregabalin versus paroxetine for pain management. The trial included a 3-wk dose titration phase followed by a 5-wk stable dose phase. Primary outcome measures included daily patient-reported pain intensity as measured using a 100 mm visual analogue scale(VAS pain) and daily impact of pain on daily activities(VAS impact). Hierarchical regression modeling was conducted on each outcome to determine if within person VAS trajectory for pain and impact differed across study groups, during 56 d follow-up. RESULTS: Attrition rates were significantly greater(P < 0.001) in the paroxetine versus pregabalin study group(70% vs 18.2%, respectively). Average study duration between study groups also significantly differed(P < 0.001). Paroxetine participants completed an average of 27.3 d of treatment vs 49.5 d in the pregabalin group, with the majority of patients withdrawing due to adverse events. Due to the high attrition rates in the paroxetine study arm, the investigators stopped the study prior to achieving complete recruitment. As such, no significant differences between pregabalin and paroxetine study arms were noted for the primary outcome measures(VAS pain, VAS impact). Comparative assessment of baseline patient characteristics also revealed no significant differences between the study arms. CONCLUSION: High attrition rates associated with paroxetine use suggest that it be used with caution for MS-induced NPP. Efficacy outcomes could not be assessed due to attrition.

Clinical differentiation of acute appendicitis and right colonic diverticulitis: A case-control study

BACKGROUND Acute right colonic diverticulitis (ARCD) is an important differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA) in Asian countries because of the unusually high prevalence of right colonic diverticula. Due to qualitative improvement and the high penetration rate of computed tomography (CT) scanning in Japan, differentiation of ARCD and AA mainly depends on this modality. But cost, limited availability, and concern for radiation exposure make CT scanning problematic. Differential findings of ARCD from AA are based on several small studies that used univariate comparisons from Korea and Taiwan. Previous studies on clinical and laboratory differences between AA and ARCD are limited. AIM To determine clinical differences between AA and ARCD for differentiation of these two diagnoses by creating a logistic regression model. METHODS We performed an exploratory single-center retrospective case-control study evaluating 369 Japanese patients (age ≥ 16 years), 236 (64.0%) with AA and 133 (36.0%) with ARCD, who were hospitalized between 2012 and 2016. Diagnoses were confirmed by CT images. We compared age, sex, onset-to-visit interval, epigastric/periumbilical pain, right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, medical history, body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, RLQ tenderness, peritoneal signs, leukocyte count, and levels of serum creatinine, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum alanine aminotrans-ferase. We subsequently performed logistic regression analysis for differentiating AA from ARCD based on the results of the univariate analyses.RESULTS In the AA and ARCD groups, median ages were 35.5 and 41.0 years, respectively (p=0.011);median onset-to-visit intervals were 1 [interquartile range (IQR): 0-1] and 2 (IQR: 1-3) days, respectively (P < 0.001);median leukocyte counts were 12600 and 11500/mm3, respectively (P = 0.002);and median CRP levels were 1.1 (IQR: 0.2-4.1) and 4.9 (IQR: 2.9-8.5) mg/dL, respectively (P < 0.001). In the logistic regression model, odds ratios (ORs) were significantly high in nausea/vomiting (OR: 3.89, 95%CI: 2.04-7.42) and anorexia (OR: 2.13, 95%CI: 1.06-4.28). ORs were significantly lower with a longer onset-to-visit interval (OR: 0.84, 95%CI: 0.72- 0.97), RLQ pain (OR: 0.28, 95%CI: 0.11-0.71), history of diverticulitis (OR: 0.034, 95%CI: 0.005-0.20), and CRP level > 3.0 mg/dL (OR: 0.25, 95%CI: 0.14-0.43). The regression model showed good calibration, discrimination, and optimism. CONCLUSION Clinical findings can differentiate AA and ARCD before imaging studies;nausea/vomiting and anorexia suggest AA, and longer onset-to-visit interval, RLQ pain, previous diverticulitis, and CRP level > 3.0 mg/dL suggest ARCD.

Application of Etiology List in Differential Diagnosis of Acute Abdominal Pain^#

Objective: To use the etiology list of abdominal pain to help identify acute abdominal pain. Methods: to design a list of causes of acute abdominal pain as per the concept of system thinking, determine the five differential diagnosis directions of “local organ disease, adjacent organ disease, systemic disease, psychogenic disease, and female reproductive system disease”, and elaborate the application effect of the checklist in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain by virtue of the analysis of one case of acute abdominal pain. Results: according to the list of causes of abdominal pain, the causes of acute abdominal pain were screened, and patients suffering from acute renal infarction (ARI) who presented with simple abdominal pain were diagnosed and treated timely. Conclusion: the etiology list is helpful to guide the diagnosis direction of acute abdominal pain, and make a rapid clinical diagnosis, so as to form a systematic thinking mode.

McKenzie Therapists Adhere More to Evidence-Based Guidelines and Have a More Biopsychosocial Perspective on the Management of Patients with Low Back Pain than General Physical Therapists in Japan

Design: Cross-sectional. Objective: Aim 1 was to preliminarily explore the contributions of the following factors to adherence to LBP practice guidelines using regression modeling: 1) the credential qualification of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT);2) balance of biomedical and behavioral (i.e. biopsychosocial) oriented approach for low back pain (LBP);3) demographics;4) academic degree and 5) the attitude towards updating information for evidence-based clinical practice. Aim 2 was to investigate whether therapists credentialed in MDT (Cred.MDT) were more behavioral oriented and less biomedical oriented than general physical therapists. Summary of Background Data: LBP practice guidelines are not adhered to by every physical therapist. MDT is a behavioral modification approach. Thus, it was hypothesized that the Cred.MDT therapist was more behavioral oriented and more adherent to LBP practice guidelines compared with general physical therapists. Methods: One-hundred-twenty Cred.MDT therapists and 2000 general physical therapists in Japan were contacted. For regression modeling, the dependent variable was adherent to guidelines using a questionnaire with a vignette. Independent variables included balance of biomedical and behavioral perspectives for LBP using the Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapist (PABS-PT), demographics, academic degree and the attitude towards updatinginformation for evidence-based clinical practice. The ratio of the two mean scores of the biomedical and behavioral subscales in the PABS-PT was compared between the Cred.MDT therapist group and the general physical therapists group. Results: Data of 46 general physical therapists and 44 Cred.MDT therapists were available. The Cred.MDT therapist group was significantly (P < 0.05) more behavioral oriented and more adherent to LBP practice guidelines compared with the general physical therapist group. The regression indicated significance of the two predictors of adherence to guidelines, Cred.MDT (β = 0.58, P < 0.001) and academic degree (β = 0.19, P = 0.03). Conclusions: Cred.MDT therapists are more guideline-consistent and have a more biopsychosocial treatment orientation than general physical therapists in Japan.

Management of pain in chronic pancreatitis with emphasis on exogenous pancreatic enzymes

One of the most challenging issues arising in patients with chronic pancreatitis is the management of abdominal pain. Many competing theories exist to explain pancreatic pain including ductal hypertension from strictures and stones, increased interstitial pressure from glandular fibrosis, pancreatic neuritis, and ischemia. This clinical problem is superimposed on a background of reduced enzyme secretion and altered feedback mechanisms. Throughout history, investigators have used these theories to devise methods to combat chronic pancreatic pain including: Lifestyle measures, antioxidants, analgesics, administration of exogenous pancreatic enzymes, endo-scopic drainage procedures, and surgical drainage and resection procedures. While the value of each modality has been debated over the years, pancreatic enzyme therapy remains a viable option. Enzyme therapy restores active enzymes to the small bowel and targets the altered feedback mechanism that lead to increased pancreatic ductal and tissue pressures, ischemia, and pain. Here, we review the mechanisms and treatments for chronic pancreatic pain with a specific focus on pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. We also discuss different approaches to overcoming a lack of clinical response update ideas for studies needed to improve the clinical use of pancreatic enzymes to ameliorate pancreatic pain.
