Pain• Unpleasant sensory and emotional
experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.
• Exists whenever the person says it does
• Referred to as 5th VS
• Function of pain = Protective Mechanism
• A universal human experience
![Page 3: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pain• Real experience treated with nursing
and medical interventions• Subjective-Tissue damage may not be
proportional to extent of pain experienced
• Pain thresholds are similar for all people BUT pain tolerance & perception greatly differ
• Threshold = level of intensity that triggers neuropathways ( nocioceptors)
![Page 4: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of PainAcute
• Sudden onset• Short duration < 3
months• Cause …usually
can ID• Course…pain
decreases over time
Chronic• Gradual or
sudden • Duration > 3
months• Cause…may not
know• Course…doesn’t
go away, periods of waxing/waning

Types of Pain
• Cutaneous- (superficial) caused by stimulation of nerve fibers in skin (burning/ sharp)
• Somatic – (deep) nonlocalized, originates in support structures strong pressure on tendons, bones ligaments (aching/throbbing)
![Page 6: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of Pain• Visceral - arises from internal organs,
difficult to localize (Abdomen, Thorax, Cranium)
• Referred – pain felt in different area of body than actual tissue damage
• Psychogenic- pain from a mental event , no physical cause identified
• Neuropathic – damaged nervous system, long lasting
![Page 7: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Types of Pain• Phantom- sensation perceived when
body limb or part is missing ( leg amputee has foot pain)
• Intractable- pain highly resistant to relief (bone Ca)
• Radiating- perceived at the source and extends to nearby tissue
• Idiopathic – chronic pain in the absence of any identifiable cause.
![Page 8: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pain Process
• Begins when there is enough tissue injury to reach a pain threshold
• Threshold = level of intensity needed to cause an action potential and neuron firing
• Neurotransmitters (excitatory) are released
![Page 9: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pain Process
Four components:• Transduction- tissue injury releases
biochemical substances ( histamine, lactic acid, prostaglandins, bradykinin) that excite nocioceptors.
• Pain meds can work by blocking production of these biochemical substances EX: NSAIDS
![Page 10: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pain Process• Transmission- impulses travel along primary afferent
neurons to the dorsal horn of spinal column – substance P released – pain sensation transmitted to spinothalamic tract to brain
• Acute pain runs up large A fibers (myelinated)Fast Transmission – Sharp pain
• Diffuse pain runs up smaller C fibers (unmyelinated)Slower Transmission – Throbbing pain
• THINK ABOUT the last time you stubbed your toe.• First felt sharp pain – followed by diffuse throbbing pain
![Page 11: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pain Process
Perception- stimulus received by thalamus; transmitted to cortex where pain is consciously perceived
Modulation- activation of endogenous
opioids /neuromodulation system. Body releases pain blocking substances: endorphins, enkephalins, serotonin
Also efferent message sent to muscles to withdraw from pain stimulus
![Page 12: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gate Control Theory- Melzack & Wall
• Theory that describes how external stimulation and cognitive techniques can affect pain transmission
• Impulses traveling on small diameter C fibers act to “open the gate” to pain.
• Impulses traveling on large diameter A fibers act to “close the gate” to pain.
• External stimulation such as massage/ heat/ cold/ TENS/ acupuncture on large A fibers “close the gate” to small C fibers and pain.
• Also, Cognitive techniques such as biofeedback, distraction, guided imagery can “close the gate”
![Page 13: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Responses to Pain
• PhysiologicInvoluntary Sympathetic response (Fight or Flight):Increased BP, HR, R, Pallor, Diaphoresis
• If prolonged, deep, severe leads toParasympathetic response:Decreased BP. HR, N&V, fainting

Factors Affecting Pain• Previous experience with pain• Developmental level & Age• Culture/ethnic values• Environment• Gender• Support systems• Meaning of pain• Anxiety/stress
![Page 16: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assessment: Pain
Begins with acceptance of client report Includes:
• Subjective description –Client statementUse of a pain-rating scale
• Objective assessment – physical examination
![Page 17: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pain Assessment: The Fifth Vital Sign
Pain Assessment Questions
• Questions to ask:– Where is your pain?– When did your pain
start?– What does your pain
feel like?– How much pain do
you have now– What makes the pain
better or worse?
– How does pain limit your function/activities?
– How do you behave when you are in pain? How would others know you are in pain?
– What does pain mean to you?
– Why do you think you are having pain?

Planning: Pain
• Outcome criteria: Client will…
• Utilize a pain rating scale to identify pain and determine comfort level.
• Report that pain management regimen relieves pain to satisfactory level.
• Describe how unrelieved pain will be managed.
![Page 23: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Interventions: Pain
• Establish trusting nurse-client relationship
• Comfort measures:-administering analgesics -modifying environment-nonpharmacologic relief measures
• Client teaching is an important part of a pain mgt plan
• Explore strategies that have been effective for the client in the past
![Page 24: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Analgesics
• Analgesics –relieve pain3 general classes
• Nonopioid -acetaminophen, ASA & nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen, Advil
• Opioids (narcotics)- morphine, codeine• Adjuvant –drug developed for use
other than analgesic but enhances effect of opioids by providing added relief (diazepam, Elavil)
![Page 25: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Non-Opioids
• Decrease inflammatory response
• Work on peripheral nervous system
• Block release of excitatory neurotransmitters ( ie histamine)
• Slower onset – Longer peak action
• Side effects: stomach irritation, liver and renal damage, bleeding
![Page 26: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Opioids
• Decrease cognitive perception of pain
• Work on Central Nervous System
• Block (lock into) pain receptors
• Faster onset – Shorter duration
• Side effects – respiratory depression, dizziness, sedation, nausea, constipation
• Emergency Rx for overdose = Narcan
![Page 27: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Adjuvants
• Not classified as analgesics
• Provide synergistic additive effect
• Antidepressants
• Muscle Relaxants
• Corticosteroids
![Page 28: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Principles of analgesic administration
• Individualize the dose
• Give regularly instead of prn ATC or PCA
• Recognize side effects and treat appropriately
• Use combinations that enhance analgesics
• Monitor for tolerance and treat appropriately
![Page 29: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Principles of analgesic administration
• Monitor for physical dependence- body physically adapts to opioids and withdrawal symptoms can occur upon sudden stoppage THIS IS NOT ADDICTION
• Addiction (psychological dependence)- compulsive drug use craving for opioid for effects other than pain relief
![Page 30: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interventions: PainModifying the Environment
• Removing or altering the cause of painLoosening a tight binderEmptying a distended bladder
• Altering factors affecting pain toleranceEnvironmental control Quiet, dim lightingAllow client to restPosition for comfort
![Page 31: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Interventions: PainNon-pharmacologic Measures
• Distraction
• Guided Imagery
• Relaxation
• Music
• Biofeedback
• Cutaneous stimulation:TENS, massage, heat, cold, acupressure

Interventions: PainClient Teaching
• Function / cause of pain• When pain can be anticipated• Assurance that it is acceptable to express• Assurance that it will be believed• Assurance that measures will be taken to
relieve it promptly• How to use pain scale• What pain control measures can be used
![Page 33: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Remember to tell clients that PAIN is easier to treat before it
gets too severe !
![Page 34: Stressors that Affect Perception & Cognition Pain NUR20 Fall 2009 Lecture # 14 K. Burger MSEd, MSN, RN, CNE PPP by Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN Revised 11/06](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d815503460f94a659ee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Evaluation: Pain
• Goals met ?
• Pain controlled ?
• Comfort level acceptable to pt ?
• Modify plan- change meds, incorporate new interventions including alternative therapies
