Cards in this deck (10)
- 1can pain arise from within the CNS without input from the peripheral nociceptors (a) and what type of pain would be an example of this (b) ?(a) yes
(b) neuropathic pain - 2what activates nociceptive pain during surgery (a) and what can help minimise this?(a) incisions cut through tissues activating mechanoreceptor activity
(b) where possible use keyhole surgery and keep wound size minimal - 3what are the 2 types of nociceptive pain (a) and what type of tissue do they relate to?(a) visceral or somatic
(b) non- neural tissue - 4what is nociceptive pain (a) and what does it occur in response too (b)?(a) pain that arises from the activation of peripheral nociceptors (free nerve endings)
(b) in response to noxious stimuli - 5what is the definition of nociception (a) and what does nociception not equal (b)?(a) the neural responses of encoding and processing noxious stimuli
(b) nociception does not equal pain and pain does not equal nociception - 6what is the IASP definition of pain (a) and how many additional keynotes does it provide(a) an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that, associated with actual or potential tissue damage
(b) 6 - 7what is the role of inflammatory pain following surgery (a) and how can this be treated?(a) a protective mechanism to help aid repair ???????
(b) NSAIDS are useful due to the high level of inflammation - 8What percentage of the cortex is responsive to nociceptive stimuli (a) and how dedicated are these regions to providing nociceptive specific processing(a) approximately 15%
(b) not very, these regions also carry information about any type of threat. - 9what are the two forms of pathological pain that can occur after surgery (a) what is responsible for generating them (b)(a) neuropathic and nociplastic
b) nociplastic pain - pain that persists after healing is complete ( also historically called dysfunctional pain) - 10What is the role of functional MRI (fMRI) in the understanding of pain (a) and what is it not good for (b)?(a) it helps us recognize the brain's pain pathways
(b) it cannot be used as a diagnostic test for pain
