    Pain Chronic (Persistent) (Adult Inpatient)

    Clinical Description

    • Care of the hospitalized patient experiencing persistent pain of sufficient duration and intensity to adversely affect wellbeing, level of function and quality of life.

    Key Information

    • Pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It is real to the patient and it is what he/she says it is (subjective, not objective).
    • Chronic pain frequently results in depressive symptoms, including trouble sleeping, appetite disturbances, loss of interest or pleasure in activities or relationships and isolation.
    • In treating chronic pain, consider presence of depression, substance use or chemical dependency associated with long-term pain management.
    • Lack of physiologic response or absence of pain behavior does not equate with “no pain”. Being quiet, withdrawn or sleeping should not be interpreted as absence of pain.
    • Vital signs tend to “normalize” over time as the body adapts to the presence of chronic pain. It does not indicate that pain is not present.
    • Chronic pain can occur in single or multiple body regions.

    Clinical Goals

    By transition of care

    A. The patient will achieve the following goals:

    • Acceptable Pain Control and Functional Ability

    B. Patient, family or significant other will teach back or demonstrate education topics and points:
    • Education: Overview
    • Education: Self Management
    • Education: When to Seek Medical Attention

    Correlate Health Status

    • Correlate health status to:

      • history, comorbidity
      • age, developmental level
      • sex, gender identity
      • baseline assessment data
      • physiologic status
      • response to medication and interventions
      • psychosocial status, social determinants of health
      • barriers to accessing care and services
      • health literacy
      • cultural and spiritual preferences
      • safety risks
      • family interaction
      • plan for transition of care

    Problem Intervention

    Develop Pain Management Plan

    • Acknowledge patient as the expert in pain self-management.
    • Use a consistent, validated tool for pain assessment; include function and quality of life.
    • Evaluate risk for opioid use and dependence.
    • Set pain management goals; determine acceptable level of discomfort to allow for maximal functioning and quality of life.
    • Determine mutually-agreed-upon pain management plan, including both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic measures.
    • Identify and integrate past successful treatment measures, if able.
    • Encourage patient and caregiver involvement in pain assessment, interventions and safety measures.
    • Re-evaluate plan regularly.

    Problem Intervention

    Manage Persistent Pain

    • Evaluate pain level, effect of treatment and patient response at regular intervals.
    • Minimize pain stimuli; coordinate care and adjust environment (e.g., light, noise, unnecessary movement); promote sleep/rest.
    • Match pharmacologic analgesia to severity and type of pain mechanism (e.g., neuropathic, muscle, inflammatory); consider multimodal approach (e.g., nonopioid, opioid, adjuvant).
    • Provide medication at regular intervals; titrate to patient response.
    • Manage breakthrough pain with additional doses; consider rotation or switching medication.
    • Monitor for signs of substance tolerance (increased dose to reach desired effect, decreased effect with same dose).
    • Avoid abrupt withdrawal of medication, especially agents capable of causing physical dependence.
    • Manage medication-induced effects, such as constipation, nausea, pruritus, urinary retention, somnolence and dizziness.
    • Provide multimodal treatment interventions, such as physical activity, therapeutic exercise, yoga, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and manual therapy.
    • Train in functional activity modifications, such as body mechanics, posture, ergonomics, energy conservation and activity pacing.
    • Consider addition of complementary or alternative therapy, such as acupuncture, hypnosis or therapeutic touch.

    Problem Intervention

    Optimize Psychosocial Wellbeing

    • Facilitate patient’s self-control over pain by providing pain information and allowing choices in treatment.
    • Consider and address emotional response to pain.
    • Explore and promote use of coping strategies; address barriers to successful coping.
    • Evaluate and assist with psychosocial, cultural and spiritual factors impacting pain.
    • Modify pain perception by using techniques, such as distraction, mindfulness, guided imagery, meditation or music.
    • Assess and monitor for signs and symptoms of behavioral health concerns, such as unhealthy substance use, depression and suicidal ideation.
    • Consider referral for ongoing coping support, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction.

    Population-Specific Considerations

    Geriatric

    • Hearing and vision impairments may hamper use of pain tools that are based on verbal and visual communication.
    • Elderly adults are more likely to tolerate pain versus report it.
    • Prior to the use of opioid medication, the elderly patient should be assessed for risk of falls, renal impairment, respiratory dysfunction and cognitive limitations to assist in determining dosages.
    • In elderly patients with cognitive deficits, ineffective pain management may increase dementia-related behaviors, which may result in decreased pain treatment.

    Pregnancy

    • Women of childbearing age and those who are currently pregnant or lactating should have the specific risks of opioid use reviewed prior to administration.
