CHRONIC /PERSISTENT PAIN
Patologic condition
Definition of Chronic Pain Pain that has lasted longer than three to six
months (Debono, DJ; Hoeksema, LJ; Hobs, RD. August 2013 )
Acute pain pain that lasts less than 30 days, Sub acute pain that lasts from one to six months, Chronic pain that lasts more than six months (Thienhaus, O.; Cole, B.E. (2002).
A popular definition Pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing(Turk, DC, Okifuji, A. 2001 )
Nociceptive pain is a crucial defensive mechanism that warn an individual of recent, ongoing, or imminent damage to the body and is produced as the physiological out come of of normal fungtioning of the PNS and CNS. By
contrast, chronic pain, wich is inflammatory or neuropathic, is the result of aberrant fungtioning of the PNS or CNS, wich has been pathologically modified
Michael W. Salter, MD, PhD. Neurobiology of Acute and Persistent Pain: Spinal cord Mechanism, 2014
General differences between acute and chronic pain
21
Acute pain
Reasonable, possibly even a life-
protecting function
A warning sign that makes one
aware of a danger
Perception of pain triggers an
appropriate protective reaction
Promotion of wound healing through
rest
Relatively simple psychological
processing
Good acceptance from colleagues
Examples: post-traumatic or
post-operative pain, toothache
Chronic pain
Pain that lasts beyond the commonly
expected healing time
No reporting, protective, or
healing function
Becomes a free-standing
pain disease
Physical, psychological, and social
attrition
Poor acceptance from colleagues
Examples: Pains from arthrosis, osteoporosis,
rheumatoid arthritis,
tumor pains, peripheral arterial blockage
disease, post-herpes neuralgia, post-
amputation

Type or Category of Pain
3. Disfunctional clear that
no somatic disorder
is present 1. Nociceptive-
Inflamatorik Caused by activity
in neural pathways
in response to potentially
tissue-damaging stimuli
2. Neuropathic Initiated or caused by
primary lesion or
dysfunction
in the nervous sys.
4. Mixed type
Caused by a
combination of both
primary injury or
secondary effects

What is Neuropathic pain?
Definition:
Pain arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somato sensory NERVE system
Characterized by:
Pain often described as pinprick sensation, numbness, electric shock-like or burning and alodinia
The painful region may not necessarily be the same as the site of injury.
Almost always a chronic condition (e.g. post herpetic neuralgia, post stroke pain)
Responds poorly to conventional analgesics
Pathophysiology of Neuropathic Pain
NeP
Central mechanisms
Peripheral mechanisms
Peripheral Neuron hyperexcitability
Loss of inhibitory controls
Central Neuron hyperexcitability
(central sensitization)
Pathophysiology of Chronic Pain
Central sensitization
Wind- up phenomena
Genetic factor
Microglial activation
Neuroplasticity
CENTRAL SENSITIZATION
Central Sensitization result from low and high nociceptive stimulation increased excitability neurons at DH
Increased spontaneous discharge
Increased receptive fielf size possibly celluler basis of secondery hyperalgesia
Increased resposnsiveness to innocuous stimulation possibly celluler basis of allodynia
Microglia and Astrocyte activation
Immune cells in spinal cord contribute to alteration in neuronal
hyperexitability (Marchand, F, Perretti, M,
McMahon, SB, 2005 )
Injury to PNS or Inflammation in spinal
cotd and brain increasing excitability of spinal nociceptive
neurones through removal on an
inhibitory influence, or disinhibition ( Sherman, SE, Loomis ,CW, 2004 )
Genetic Factor
Mutation inactivation of spesific sodium channel unable to feel pain (Fertleman CR, Baker MD, Parker, KA, et al. 2006 )
Other mutation ifluence modify the kinetic of sodium channel perception of persistent pain ( Yang Y, Wang Y, Li S, et al, 2004)
Neuroplasticity
Chronic pain disease affecting brain structure and function (neuroplasticity) , MRI studies have showns abnormality anatomical and functional connectivity involving area related to the processing of pain (Geha PY, Baliki MN, Harden RN, et al ;2008)
Neuronal Plasticity and Pain
Normal adaptive function
Neurons detecting and transmitting pain display plasticity
A capacity to change function, chemical profile, or structure
A response to painful stimuli and inflammation
A contributor to altered sensitivity to pain
When persistent can lead to permanent neuropathic pain
Woolf CJ, et al. Science. 2000;288:1765-1768.
Choice of Assessment Tool
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Faces Pain Rating Scale (untuk anak)
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
ID PAIN : Screening tool to help differentiate
nociceptive from neuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain screening questionnaire Patients (N = 586) with non-headache chronic pain A second
multicenter study (N = 384) evaluated reliability and validity.
89-item questionnaire 6 items ID Pain appeared to accurately indicate the presence of a
neuropathic component of pain (74,2%)
Portenoy R et al. Curr Med Res Opin. 2006 Aug;22(8):1555-65.
Pain includes a complex mechanism
