25.01.2022 The thoracic splanchnic nerves are a group of nerves that can be treated with thermal radiofrequency ablation to treat some forms of chronic abdominal pain. http://ow.ly/KWR050CviuP #chronicpain #abdominalpain

24.01.2022 Pain Specialists Australia feel we need to clarify this for our audience. A recent study has said that women who receive epidural pain relief in labour seem to have an increased chance of having a child with autism. BUT the study was not designed to prove cause and effect and does not suggest that epidurals cause autism. Just to clarify labour epidurals do not cause autism and we should not be withholding labour epidurals for pain control because of this flawed study. ... "Multiple professional organizations weighed in critically on the work. The study does not provide credible scientific evidence that labor epidurals for pain relief cause autism, say the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology, American Society of Anesthesiologists, Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine in a joint statement. This study should not alter the analgesia currently offered to women in labour, says a statement from the Royal College of Anaesthetists. http://ow.ly/1PDs50CjomQ We wish you a super week ahead. #pain

18.01.2022 Pain Specialists Australia has been asked to provide evidence that opioids cause harm. Here is a study that show the use of long-acting opioids for chronic noncancer pain, compared with other pain medications, was associated with a significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality, including deaths from causes other than overdose. This study found that patients prescribed therapy for a long-acting opioid had a risk of all-cause mortality 1.64 times greater than that for ...matched patients starting an analgesic anticonvulsant or a low-dose cyclic antidepressant. This corresponded to 69 excess deaths per 10,000 person-years of therapy. http://ow.ly/HsZ950C0o7A If you have any concerns or questions, please just ask us. #opioids #chronicpain

17.01.2022 This is a concerning situation. The large company (Purdue Pharma) will now admit to enabling the supply of drugs like Oxycontin, "without legitimate medical purpose". This means the company broke the law 'pushing, paying & bribing' doctors in the USA to prescribe this medication. ... It has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of American lives, directly related to the use of high doses of opioids. http://ow.ly/v4B550C0nNS Let's do our best to protect Australian lives from excessively high doses of opioids. #opioids #chronicpain

06.01.2022 What do you think about these recommendations from the Faculty of Pain Medicine, ANZCA on chronic pain; 1. Avoid prescribing opioids (particularly long-acting opioids) as first-line or monotherapy for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). 2. Do not continue opioid prescription for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) without ongoing demonstration of functional benefit, periodic attempts at dose reduction and screening for long-term harms.... 3. Avoid prescribing pregabalin and gabapentin for pain which does not fulfil the criteria for neuropathic pain. 4. Do not prescribe benzodiazepines for low back pain. 5. Do not refer axial lower lumbar back pain for spinal fusion surgery. http://ow.ly/zLJ950BTX34 #chronicpain #ourpainworld Have a thoughtful week ahead from Pain Specialists Australia

05.01.2022 Really? A hi-tech corset that can help ease lower back pain by stretching the spine with tiny motors is being trialled by patients in France.

04.01.2022 Sometimes facial nerve blocks can be performed to help diagnose and treat some #chronicpain conditions. For example the infraorbital nerve can easily be blocked to reduce pain in the mid-part of the face (for pain in the area below the eye and above the lips).

02.01.2022 As experts in the field of pain management, we are observing the effects that covid-19 may have on #chronicpain. We feel that there may be an increased incidence in chronic pain after the covid-19 pandemic for a few reasons: 1) The inflammation caused by covid may make current chronic pain conditions more severe by causing further nerve inflammation. 2)The lockdown has caused people that exercise regularly to drop their physical activity levels and then when they get back t...o exercising after lockdown they are more likely to injure themselves. 3) The lockdown will cause people that don't exercise to consider exercise and hence also injure themselves. http://ow.ly/G4Up50Cjp0d So please look after yourself as you come out of lockdown. #chronicpain #pain
