Focussed Symposium 07

Meeting the global challenge of pain

education for physical therapists


3

Objectives

1. To understand how pain education for physical therapists, based on modern pain science, is critical for improving clinical outcomes in pain management.

1. To learn about evidence-based pain education resources available to enhance physical therapist training and clinical competencies.

1. To identify successful practical methods to teach pain science to physical therapists, in entry-level programs or in clinical education.

IOM Key Findings:

• The total financial costs of this epidemic of pain exceed US$600 billion each year.

• This is higher than the costs for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined.

• Yet the treatment covered by these expenditures does NOT adequately alleviate Americans’ pain.


10

What are the challenges?

Pizzo and Clark, 2012

“A major challenge is the limited education that U.S. medical students and physicians receive about pain….training in pain management does not lead to competency.”

“Major impediments to relief include patients’ limited access to clinicians who are knowledgeable about acute and chronic pain –owing in part to the prevalence of outmoded or unscientific knowledge and attitudes about pain.”


11

Pain education: challenges and solutions

The Institute of Medicine recommends: “expanding and redesigning education programs to transform the understanding of pain and improved education for clinicians.”


12

is the number one reason people consult a physiotherapist


13

Pain education in physiotherapy

“Recent surveys of the curricula of health care professions (including physical therapy) at universities in Canada and the UK showed that current pain education is inadequate preparation for professional practice.”

Foster and Delitto, Phys Ther 2011

Article 1. The right of all people to have access to pain management without discrimination

Article 3. The right of all people with pain to have access to appropriate assessment and treatment of the pain by adequately trained health care professionals

Institute of Medicine Report on Pain Conclusions - 2011

Chronic pain affects more than a 100 million Americans, making its control of enormous value to individuals and society

Julie Meese: Chronic pain can make you despondent…I find dealing with pain is like riding a surf board -- I can get thrown into the debilitating turmoil that is pain along with fatigue, brain fog and depression at any moment.

"Pool of Darkness" represents the times when I fall off my surf board and am unable to claw my way back to the surface.

To reduce the impact of pain and suffering we need to transform how pain is perceived and judged by:

people with painsocietyhealth care providers who help care for them

IASP Pain Education Curricula

“These curricula outlines are helpful for establishing teaching courses

on acute, chronic, and cancer pain at both the undergraduate and

graduate level” (IASP, May 2012)

Physical Therapy Task Force Committee:• Helen Slater• Kathleen Sluka• Anne Söderlund• Paul Watson (Chair)


66

The DPT Program at Macquarie University

• Three-year entry-level Doctor of Physiotherapy Program (DPT)

commenced in 2012 at Macquarie University, in Sydney, Australia.

• Extended Masters (Level 9 in Australian Qualifications Framework)

• The program was designed to meet international benchmarks as well as

national regulatory and professional standards.


67


68

The DPT Program at Macquarie University

Is unique in its co-location within Australia’s first University private hospital (Macquarie

University Hospital and Clinic) – now integrating with the new Faculty of Medicine and

Health Sciences to form Australia’s first academic health campus.

1. The multidimensional nature of pain

2. Pain assessment and measurement

3. Management of pain

4. Clinical conditions

71

Integrating the IASP curriculum into the DPT Program - principles

• Vertical and horizontal integration of content – embedded in units

rather than stand alone subjects

• Build complexity throughout program

• > 30 hours of core pain education

• Integration with clinical education (embedded in DPT program)

• Blended learning

• Evaluate pain-specific knowledge and clinical competencies

• Faculty

• Sessional teaching staff

• Clinical educators

Training:

• Pain neuroscience and clinical models

• Workshops

• Provide resources


79

MQ DPT Pain curriculum

Semester A:

• Intensive training in current pain neuroscience, the biopsychosocial model and it’s integration into the assessment and management of pain.

• Commence clinical education

Semester B:

• Consolidate in discipline-specific content (MSK, CR, Neuro) and EBP

• Extend clinical education

• Semester C:

• Application in block clinical placements


80

MQ DPT Pain curriculum

Semester D:

• Pain across the lifespan

• Reintegration into sport / work

• Chronic and complex conditions

• Introduction to chronic pain management

Semester E:

• Develop advanced competencies in pain management – full day workshop

Semester F:

• Elective clinical placements – include pain management programs


81

Advanced pain management workshop

• Key components of pain management programs for chronic pain

• Explaining pain to patients

o Different approaches – discussion and videos

o Principles

o Content – tailored to individual patients

o Case-based clinical simulation practice

• Resources for clinicians and patients

• Addressing psychological factors

• Novel treatments for chronic pain


82


83

Clinical simulation student practice

• Case based – different pain vignettes

• Small group identifies relevant issues and develops content of education

• In-class simulation of explaining pain to “patient”

• Peer feedback and evaluation

Clinical model of pain

Pain is driven by 3 interrelated and almost universally present factors:• A signal (from the periphery)• An amplifier (central sensitisation)• A gain setter (descending controls from the brain)
