Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Neuroplasticity}} is the ability of the nervous system to change its biochemical and molecular structure, physiologic function
Published	07/30/2024	Neuroplastic changes leads to a heightened pain response known as {{c1::central sensitization}}
Published	07/30/2024	Central sensitization may eventually lead to {{c1::chronic postoperative pain}}
Published	07/30/2024	Pain may be classified according to: {{c1::Duration}}, Mechanism, Intensity/Severity
Published	07/30/2024	Pain may be classified according to: Duration, {{c2::Mechanism}}, Intensity/Severity
Published	07/30/2024	Pain may be classified according to: Duration, Mechanism, {{c3::Intensity/Severity}}
Published	07/30/2024	Chronic pain is pain lasting for greater than {{c1::3 months}}
Published	07/30/2024	Chronic pain has a {{c1::gradual}} onset
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Chronic pain::Type of pain}} persists beyond tissue healing

Published	07/30/2024	2 types of acute pain: {{c1::Somatic pain}} and {{c2::Visceral pain}}
Published	07/30/2024	2 types of somatic pain: {{c1::Superficial somatic pain}} and {{c2::Deep somatic pain}}
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Superficial somatic pain::Type of pain}} is characteristically well-localized and described as a sharp, pricking, throbbing, or burning sensatio…
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Deep somatic pain::Type of pain}} usually has a dull, aching quality and is less well-localized
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Visceral pain::Type of pain}} is due to a disease process or abnormal function involving an internal organ or its covering
Published	07/30/2024	4 subtypes of visceral pain{{c1::True localized visceral painLocalized parietal painReferred visceral painReferred parietal pain}}
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::True visceral pain:Type of pain}} is frequently associated with abnormal sympathetic or parasympathetic activity
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Parietal pain:Type of pain}} is typically sharp and often described as a stabbing sensation that is either localized to the area around the orga…
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Origin of tissue injury}} causing the pain distinguishes the three mechanisms of pain
Published	07/30/2024	Nociceptive painNeuropathic painNociplastic pain
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Nociceptive pain}} is pain caused by damage or injury to non-neural tissue, except neural or nervous tissue
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Neuropathic pain}} is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Nociplastic pain}} is pain due to no identifiable tissue damage or an injury that is too mild to consider the cause of the pain
Published	07/30/2024	Neuropathic pain may be {{c1::central}} (as in post-stroke pain) or {{c2::peripheral}} (as in phantom limb pain)
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Neuropathic pain}} is pain that ONLY involves nervous tissue
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Nociplastic pain}} classically occurs in the absence of nerve injury
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Nociplastic pain}} is associated with psychological and social stressors

Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Numerical pain scale}} is a scale that rates the pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain)
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Categorical rating scale/Verbal pain rating scale}} is the scale used if patient can’t classify the numerical value
Published	07/30/2024	{{c1::Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale}} is the scale that needs a visual aid to present to the patient
Published	07/30/2024	The patient’s {{c1::self-report}} is considered the most reliable pain indicator of the patient’s pain.
Published	07/30/2024	Categorical rating scale equivalent to the numerical pain scale{{c1::Mild}} pain: 1 - 3{{c2::Moderate}} pain: 4 - 6{{c3::Severe}} pain: 7 - 10

Published	07/30/2024	Principles of pain management: Ask the patient. Assess pain both at {{c1::rest}} and on {{c2::movement}}
Published	07/30/2024	Principles of pain management: Document pain and response to treatment, including {{c1::adverse effects}}
Published	07/30/2024	Principles of pain management: Evaluate before treatment, then {{c1::reevaluate after regularly}}
