directly
8
Why classify pain?
by defining the mechanism contributing to a patient’s pain, you can prioritize and target specific interventions to that specific pain mechanism
9
Biological pain classifications

10
Psychosocial pain classification
negative emotional factors may ________ other pain mechanisms and contribute to their pain
Critical in the transition from ______ to ______ pain
Predictive for development of _______ pain
augment
acute, chronic
chronic
11
Movement systems Pain
relationship between movement and pain is _______ and highly _________
Increased ______ ______, _____, and _______ ______
Muscle ________
Provokes fear ________-> results in _______ and _________
complex
variable
muscle contraction, tone, trigger point
inhibition
avoidance
disuse, disability
12
treatment for nociceptive pain
Exercise - decrease nociceptor excitability, increase peripheral inhibition, promote healing of injured tissues
massage - increases peripheral inhibition, promotes healing of injured/inflamed tissues, reduce mechanical activation of a nociceptor
TENS - useful for those with ehanced sympathetic activity and nociceptor sensitization, passive treatment
13
treament for nociplastic pain
education - change how we think about pain, increased understanding on pain corresponds to an increase in pain threshold
exercise - modulation of pain sensitvity by altering central nociceptive processing and increasing central inhibition (global exercise)
massage - activation of central inhibitory mechanisms and reduce central exciteability producing analgesia (less autonomy for pt)
manipulation - reduces central excitability in the region of primary hyperalgesia, reduced secondary hyperalgesia in those with chronic pain
TENS - increasing central inhibition and reducing central exciteability
14
treatment for neuropathic pain
exercise - increases anti-inflammatory cytokines, effect cytokines and macrophages allowing form increased nerve healing, considered disease modifying intervention
manual therapy - increase myelin sheath thickness in peripheral nerves, ameliorate nerve compression, be careful in glides
15
treatment for psychological factors
education - CBT, reduce catastrophizing
exercise - reduces depressive symptoms, improves cognitive function, reduces pain catastrophizing
massage - decreases cortisol, power of positive touch
16
treatment for motor
education
exercise
manipulation - decrease/increase motor neuron excitability
17
Key pain education points
pain protects us and promotes healing
persistent pain over protects us and prevents recovery
many factors influence pain
there are many ways to reduce pain and promote recovery
18
although each pain mechanism can be addressed individually, the efficacy of an interventino can be maximized when considering
multiple pain mechanisms might be addressed simultaneously
19
Bio vs Psych vs Social
Bio - tissue changes, plastic nervous tissue changes
Psych - stress, anxiety, depression
Social - stress, support, life roles
20
exercise goals

decrease catastrophizing thoughts
decreased kinesiophobia
increased ROM
increased tissue endurance
increased activity tolerance
improved strength

21
principles of graded exercise therapy
must understand your patient
dosage
Sequence of exercise: global, semi global, local
restoration of optimal pain-free movement
return to function
22
global exercise targets
endorphin response, whole body
increase tolerance of the individual to physical activity
23
semi-global exercise
targets body regions
beneficial for kinesiophobia
prepare for local exercise
24
Local exercise
specific to tissue
local tissue response
addresses tissues stress tolerance - healing and loading
25
patient education and experience
set the expectations
addresses motivation, adaptation, and tolerance to movement
26
encourage a tolerable amount of _____ with controlled and acceptable guidelines
symptoms or discomfort does not mean _____ ______
patients with high kinesiophobia need to _____ _____ and experience a _____ dosage of exercise and see how it feels during the movement and after
discomfort
tissue damage
start slow
small
27
Mindfulness

the influence of mindfulness is mostly at the ___________ and ______ stage of pain experience
Disrupting ______ to distressing thoughts, feelings, sensations
Uncoupling of ______ and ______ factors
Developing ______ to improve coping mechanisms
Using your mind to turn down ________ of nervous system
interpretation, appraisal
reactivity
sensory, affective
clarity
sensitivity
29
McCracken - the role of mindfulness in a contextual cognitive behavioral analysis of chronic pain related suffering and disability
