This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Download or read book Marijuana As Medicine written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-12-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuromodulation implants are currently one of the most successful techniques in the treatment of chronic pain, a condition that affects more and more patients each year, leading to reduced quality of life as well as economic losses.

Based on the experiences of leading physicians in the field, it also discusses how to manage both major and minor complications. Lastly, it covers the neuromodulatory intervention techniques used to treat chronic pain in various clinical areas. As such it is a valuable resource for pain physicians as well as neurosurgeons, orthopedists and anesthetists.

Download or read book Pain Relief Techniques written by Andy Y. Vang and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to learn how to reduce chronic pain and prevent acute phases by act on your lifestyle and get rid of pain? If yes, then keep reading... Pain is an essential sign of disease and attempts to treat physiological pain should not be done before it is determined that the pain not be a sign of a treatable disease. When that has been ruled out, treatment of the pain can be initiated. Acute pain can be treated successfully and safely by opioids and NSAIDs. The treatments that are in routine use for the common forms of physiological (acute) pain are many, and they differ mainly with regards to their side effects, costs, and the involvement of the person with pain that the individual methods require. In general, the treatment for physiological pain is dominated by medications many of which can be obtained without a prescription, but pain medications that require a prescription are also in everyday use. Some of these medications are also effective for pathological pain, but for some kinds of pathological pain, the effectiveness of common pain medications is less than what it is for physiological pain. As earlier in this, pain often has two different expressions; one being the perception (feeling) of the pain and the other being the adverse (adverse) effect of the pain also often referred to as suffering. Treating the suffering component seems more important for restoring a person's quality of life than treating the feeling of pain because the suffering reduces a person's quality of life more than the feeling of pain. Many medications, such as opioids, act mainly on the suffering aspect of pain, and they may not change the perception of pain much. Unfortunately, the use of opioids must be restricted because of risks of addiction and risk of death from overdose. It is often possible to manage a person's pain, which means reducing the adverse effects of the pain as much as possible and it is possible to restore the person's quality of life to the greatest extent. A patient who is being treated for pain may say "I still have my pain, but it does not bother me anymore." A treatment that gives that response from a patient may be regarded as an effective treatment although the patient still feels pain. Proper management of pain can make life better for many patients. People often are searching for treatments that can completely solve their problems instead of to improve their situation. People often underestimate how side effects can affect their lives, and physicians and often surgeons are not too eager to discuss side effects. This book covers the following topics: What is the pain and inflammation? Pain and nervous system Memory of pain Stress and pain Common pain treatments Hypnosis for pain management. Pain and acupuncture. Pain Medication Breathing Exercise Understanding your Pain Strategies for Treating Pain Relaxation Can Relieve Your Pain ...And much more A severe obstacle to achieving effective pain control is the way pain medications are administered. The possibility to affect pain conditions through a change in daily living has begun to win acceptance. A healthy lifestyle can improve many health problems including pain. Physical exercise, keeping a healthy weight and healthy eating with some supplements particularly Omega 3 and some vitamins can have beneficial effects although it may be difficult to pinpoint the effects.

Download or read book Pain Relief written by Lah Khons and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain relief refers to the various methods and techniques used to alleviate or reduce the sensation of pain. Pain can be acute or chronic in nature and can manifest in different parts of the body. Pain relief methods can range from simple home remedies such as applying heat or cold to the affected area, taking pain relievers, physical therapy, and even surgical procedures. Pain management is important as uncontrolled pain can lead to decreased quality of life, depression, and in some cases, even disability. Over the years, numerous pain relief drugs and treatments have been developed to tackle pain effectively. These range from over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin to strong opioids like morphine and fentanyl, which are used to manage more severe pain. Apart from drugs, pain management techniques such as acupuncture and physical therapy are becoming increasingly popular and have been shown to be effective in reducing pain. However, the overuse of opioids has been a significant concern in recent years, leading to addiction and even overdose. It is essential to seek expert advice when dealing with pain, as a personalized treatment plan is typically required to achieve optimal pain relief while minimizing any side effects. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Definition of pain relief, Importance of managing pain, Purpose of the document Types of Pain: Acute Pain, 1. Causes, 2. Symptoms, 3.

Download or read book Pain Management in Special Circumstances written by Nabil Shallik and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like management of disease, management of pain is as old as the human race.

It is hoped that this book will provide the latest evidence-based updates on pain management in special circumstances and will serve as a ready reference for those embarking on pain management. Its intent is not to be a heavy book that can only be stored on a bookshelf, but a pocket-sized reference that can be carried, be easily navigated, and be available whenever a conceptual gap compromises pain physicians and their ability to treat their patients.
