Primary pain disorders (formerly “functional pain syndromes”) are common, under- diagnosed and under-treated in children and teenagers. This manuscript reviews key aspects which support understanding the development of pediatric chronic pain, points to the current pediatric chronic pain terminology, addresses effective treatment strategies, and discusses the evidence-based use of pharmacology. Common symptoms of an underlying pain vulnerability present in the three most common chronic pain disorders in pediatrics. primary headaches, centrally mediated abdominal pain syndromes, and/or chronic/recurrent musculoskeletal and joint pain. A significant number of children with repeated acute nociceptive pain episodes develop chronic pain in addition to or as a result of their underlying medical condition “chronic-on-acute pain.” We provide description of the structure and process of our interdisciplinary, rehabilitative pain clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA with accompanying data in the treatment of chronic pain symptoms that persist beyond the expected time of healing. An interdisciplinary approach combining rehabilitation; integrative medicine/active mind-body techniques; psychology; and normalizing daily school attendance, sports, social life and sleep will be presented. Pain improves and generally disappears as function is restored. Opioids are not indicated for primary pain disorders, and other drugs are usually not first-line treatment with a few exceptions.
Pediatric pain clinic; Chronic pain; Interdisciplinary treatment
Childhood chronic pain is a significant problem, with conservative estimates suggesting that it affects 20% to 35% of children and adolescents worldwide. Pain occurring in children's hospitals is known to be widely recognized and poorly treated, with more than 10% of hospitalized children exhibiting chronic pain features. Although the majority of children who report chronic pain are not severely affected, approximately 3% of pediatric patients with chronic pain require intensive rehabilitation. In the United States, the total cost to society of caring for children and young people with moderate to severe chronic pain is estimated at US$19.5 billion annually a current systematic review of the etiology of non-disease-related chronic and recurrent childhood pain [1].
The underlying pathophysiology of pain in children includes acute nociceptive pain (i.e., pain arising from the activation of peripheral nerve endings, including somatic and visceral pain), neuropathic pain (i.e., resulting from injury to, or dysfunction of, the somatosensory system), psycho-social-spiritual-emotional pain, total pain and/or the topic of this paper, chronic pain [2]. Pain may originate from one, but more commonly involves a combination of these pathophysiologies. Commonly accepted definitions of chronic pain describe pain that persists for three months; however, the Rome IV criteria for functional abdominal pain disorders, for instance, typically require symptoms to be present and persist for at least two months [3]. Like many pediatric pain programs, we define chronic pain not necessarily by using arbitrary temporal parameters, but rather employ a more functional definition such as “pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing” and “hence lacks the acute warning function of physiological nociception” Simply put, pain lasting two months and 29 days does not necessarily change from “acute” to “chronic” once it merely extends to a period of three months in duration. The 2012 American Pain Society Position Statement, “Assessment and Management of Children with Chronic Pain”, indicates that chronic pain in children is the result of a dynamic integration of biological processes, psychological factors, and sociocultural variables, considered within a developmental trajectory. Chronic pain includes persistent (persistent) and recurrent (temporary) pain in children with underlying conditions (eg, inflammatory bowel disease, sickle cell disease, rheumatoid arthritis), and pain that is the disease itself (primary headache, central gastric pain) [4]. pain syndrome, musculoskeletal pain, complex regional pain syndrome), a significant number of children exhibiting both entities. H. "Chronic acute" pain. Chronic pain affects the entire nervous system. The term central sensitization is the increased reactivity of the central nervous system to both painful and non-painful stimuli and has been used to describe the underlying central nervous system dysfunction or pathology for development or maintenance [5].
Youth along incurable cramp
Leaving chronic pain in children untreated increases the risk of developing pain and psychotic disorders later in life. He found that 17% of adult patients with chronic pain reported chronic pain in childhood or adolescence, and nearly 80% reported pain that began in childhood and persisted into adulthood. In the United States, adults with chronic pain have lower household incomes and a higher risk of unemployment [6]. A study of her two birth cohorts, 1946 and 1958, showed that children with persistent abdominal pain and headache experienced more physical symptoms, anxiety, and depression than healthy children in adulthood. rice field. A prospective study by Mulvaney and his colleagues of her 132 children with abdominal pain, who did not experience the most severe pain, found that anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem and more negative life events at baseline. Another 3-year prospective cohort study. Dunn et al. found that 44% had a progressive pain disorder and condition trajectory, manifesting primarily as headache, back pain, abdominal pain, and facial pain, and 12% exhibiting persistent pain. showed. Individuals at highest risk of developing persistent pain were predominantly female, exhibiting the highest levels of somatization and depression both at baseline and at the end of the study period, and were more likely to be satisfied with their lives. In addition, studies have shown that extraintestinal somatic symptoms and depressive symptoms are significant predictors of functional gastrointestinal disturbances in adulthood in the initial pediatric assessment for functional abdominal pain [7]. increase. Pediatric patients with functional abdominal pain exhibit long-term vulnerability to anxiety, beginning in childhood and continuing through late adolescence and early adulthood, even after abdominal pain subsides. A national longitudinal study of adolescent-to-adult health enrolling more than 14,000 study participants found that chronic pain in adolescents was associated with higher rates of anxiety-related mental health disorders in adulthood. (21.1% vs. 12.4% of pain-free adolescents). Depressive disorder (24.5% vs 14.1%) is the most common. Analyzed data from his nationally representative longitudinal study of a sample of 9,970 U.S. adolescents, Van Tilburg and colleagues found that adolescents with chronic pain and depression were more likely to experience suicidal ideation and indicated a high risk of attempted suicide [8].
Expected concentration
Taken together, in our clinical experience, the use of these approaches has proven to be highly effective in treating primary pain disorders. It builds on a growing body of information that revise the concept of and explore new approaches to pain assessment and management. Indeed, new insights and perspectives on the mechanisms and classification of pain in general, and pain in children in particular, are arguably important for enabling better understanding and more precise pathology [9]. Larger initiatives, such as the Federally-led Brain Research by Advanced Neurotechnology (BRAIN) and the Precision Medicine Initiative, aim to better define the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of pain in children. We are developing a more granular research approach. This knowledge must be evaluated and used for practical use in improving the diagnosis and treatment of pain patients [10].
Summary of our action
On average, patient pain began 2.4 years before dosing, and 57% of patients had a relative with chronic pain. On a 0–10 pain scale (10 being worst), the patient rated her average daily pain as 5.6/10 (worst: 8.8/10, worst 3/10). A total of 75% of pain patients also received a psychological diagnosis. 67% had anxiety (including generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and anxiety disorder not otherwise specified (NOS)) and 30% had depression (including major depression and major depressive disorder NOS) was Reviewing data from 2007 to 2009, 2010 and 2014, 83% to 92% of new patients appear to have opted for follow-up after their first dose of our clinic-recommended rehabilitation therapy. Of these, the majority (67% to 79%) completed successfully (i.e. painless or mostly painless). Of the remaining patients, up to 26% were referred to additional and/or alternative services (e.g., inpatient or outpatient psychiatric care, eating disorder programs, physical therapy/psychiatric care closer to home). , according to the latest data review, 13% were still on treatment after 6-12 months. Successful patients had 8 visits to a physical therapist (mean; range 1-25), 10 visits to a psychologist (range 1-34), and 4 visits to a parent/family/social therapist (range 1-16)., doctor/ nurse 2.5 times (range 1-7).
As previously mentioned, only 16% of her children in our clinic said they thought the pain would go away on the first visit. However, at the discharge interview after the first visit, 92% of children said they believed they would be pain free. A rehabilitative multidisciplinary therapeutic approach is effective in treating patients with primary pain disorders and CRPS, as well as those with chronic acute pain or chronic neuropathic pain, in addition to other multidisciplinary analgesic strategies.
Primary pain disorders (previously known as "functional pain syndromes") are common, underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in pediatric patients. Primary pain disorders arise as a mechanical vulnerability to multifocal pain that can originate and manifest at different body sites. Common symptoms of this underlying pain sensitivity include primary headaches, central abdominal pain syndrome, and chronic/recurrent musculoskeletal pain. A significant number of children with recurrent episodes of acute nociceptive pain develop chronic pain in addition to or as a result of the disease. Untreated chronic pain in childhood may increase the risk of pain, as well as physical and psychological disorders in adulthood. These results highlight the importance, if not mandate, of effectively coping with and treating pain in children and adolescents.
In our multidisciplinary pediatric pain management practice, integrative, multidisciplinary approaches are integrated into rehabilitation, complementary therapy (distraction, hypnosis, etc.), psychological counseling, and physical/sports activities, sleep, socialization, and schooling. demonstrated combining the normalization of Outpatient visits, along with judicious use of medications, generally reduce and/or reduce patient pain. However, opioids are not indicated for primary pain disorders, and other medications are usually first-line therapy.
