three types of acute pain

Back 9

somatic, visceral, referred

Front 10

somatic acute pain

Back 10

pain of the muscle, bone, skin

Front 11

visceral acute pain

Back 11

pain of an organ. radiates. causes N/V

Front 12

referred acute pain

Back 12

area of pain is different from origin of injury.

Front 13

referred pain should be:

Back 13

taken seriously

Front 14

chronic pain

Back 14

lasts more than 6 months

Front 15

Chronic pain can be either ___ or ___ and can be classified as either ___ or ___ pain.

Back 15

constant or intermittent
central or neuropathic

Front 16

Central chronic pain

Back 16

lesion or disruption in CNS

Front 17

Neuropathic chronic pain

Back 17

trauma or disease in peripheral nerves

Front 18

Chronic pain causes:

Back 18

behavioral changes, depression, sleeping, eating, anger

Front 19

the goal when dealing with chronic pain

Back 19

to get patient back to normal function. Can't always eliminate pain

Front 20

eight chronic pain terms to know

Back 20

neuralgia, causalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophies, hyperesthesias, myofascial pain syndrome, hemiagnosia, phantom limb, trigger points

Front 21

neuralgia

Back 21

damaged peripheral nerve

Front 22

nerualgia is usually caused by

Back 22

acute trauma

Front 23

causalgia occurs

Back 23

a couple of weeks after injury.

Front 24

causalgia affects

Back 24

groups of nerves and causes discoloration of skin

Front 25

hyperesthesias

Back 25

increased sensitivity and decreased pain threshold to tactile and painful stimuli.

Front 26

hyperesthesias may result from

Back 26

chronic irritations of CNS areas

Front 27

because of hyperesthesias

Back 27

pain is diffuse (becoming widely spread), modified by fatigue and emotion and mixed with other sensations

Front 28

myofascial pain syndromes are the

Back 28

second most common chronic pain condition

Front 29

myofascial pain syndromes

Back 29

pain results from muscle spasm, tenderness, and stiffness

Front 30

examples of myofascial pain syndromes

Back 30

myostisis, fibrositis, myofibrositis, myalgia, and muscle strain--conditions that involve injury to the muscle and fascia

Front 31

myofascial pain syndromes cause

Back 31

decreased use in area

Front 32

hemiagnosia are associated with

Back 32

stroke

Front 33

hemaignosia

Back 33

loss of ability to identify the source of pain on one side of the body

Front 34

painful stimuli on the side of the body with hemignosia produce

Back 34

discomfort, anxiety, moaning, agitation, and distress but no attempt to withdraw from the stimulus

Front 35

a person who has hemaignosia knows pain sensation but

Back 35

cannot determine where it is coming from

Front 36

phantom limb pain

Back 36

pain in limb that has been amputated after it has completley healed

Front 37

trigger points

Back 37

small hypersensitive regions in muscle or connective tissues that, when stimulated, poduce pain in a specific area

Front 38

pain threshold and pain tolerance are used to

Back 38

assess pain

Front 39

pain threshold

Back 39

point at which person perceives pain

Front 40

pain tolerance

Back 40

amount tolerated until doing something about it

Front 41

example of referred pain

Back 41

bowel rupture which causes air to travel to subscapula and cause pain under shoulder

Front 42

pain receptors are located on the ___ side of neuron

Back 42

afferent (sensory)

Front 43

pain receptors are found in

Back 43

the skin, mucous membranes, lining of body cavities, and deep tissue (everywhere)

Front 44

when people with hyperesthesias recieve a light touch

Back 44

it elicits acute pain

Front 45

reflex sympathetic dystrophies

Back 45

damage to peripheral nerve that causes severe burning senesation in innervation area
