Chronicity Of Pain

From the informational and structural point of view, the chronicity of pain is associated with the migration of nociogenic zones. The phenomenon of migration is based on the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, compensatory-restorative processes in the nervous system. On the basis of the phenomenon of migration of the nociogenic zone, a system of regional integrative therapy of chronic pain syndrome has been developed. Recommendations on the advisability of invasive shutdown of the nociogenic zone using invasive pharmacotherapy or surgical denervation have been proposed. In the course of studying the characteristics of chronic pain, depending on the duration of the disease, a direct proportional correlation was revealed between the increase in the components of pain and the duration of the pain syndrome, which can be explained by the increase in the number of nociogenic structures that form the complexity and stability of the pain syndrome. Thus, the necessity of neurodestructive interventions increases for attaining positive results. An important area of therapy is the inclusion of psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and neuromodulation into the system of regional-integrative influence.

The goal of the study was to explore the influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the COMT gene on the formation and features of pain syndrome, the level of anxiety, and the need for narcotic analgesics in patients with breast cancer. Materials and methods. The intensity of pain and opioid consumption in the postoperative period were evaluated in 58 patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study and were operated for breast cancer. The frequency of chronic pain syndrome after mastectomy was studied in the same group of patients after a year by using short pain questionnaires, McGill Pain Questionnaire and PainDetect. The anxiety level was assessed by using the HADS questionnaire. Genotyping was performed for single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs4680, rs740603, rs2097603 = rs2070577, rs4633, of the COMT gene localized in the 22q11.21 region in the studied group of patients. The relationship between the carrier of different genotypes and the intensity of acute and chronic pain, the severity of the pain rating index for sensory and affective characteristics, the presence of a neuropathic component of pain, and the severity of anxiety were studied in the entire sample. The use of narcotic analgesics was evaluated in the postoperative period (IU/day and IU/course) and for the relief of chronic pain. Results. It is shown that the intensity of postoperative pain and the severity of anxiety do not depend on the presence of a mutant allele for the studied polymorphisms of the COMT gene, while the postoperative consumption of opioids in patients with the rs4680 missense mutation in the exon of this gene is significantly less. The dependence of the intensity of chronic pain syndrome and the severity of anxiety on the presence of a mutant allele for the polymorphic locus rs4680 localized in the exon of the COMT gene was established. No significant relationship was observed between the mutant alleles and the use of opioids for chronic pain relief after mastectomy. Conclusion. Genotyping for the COMT gene polymorphisms can be useful for choosing the optimal tactics of pain management in patients with breast cancer.

The quality of life of patients with chronic pain syndrome remains one of the most pressing issues. Pain is considered chronic if it lasts or recurs for more than 3-6 months. This contributes to disability, depression, sleep disorders, poor quality of life, and what is important in this situation, the cost of treatment. According to statistics, the average prevalence of chronic pain in the adult population is 20%. Practitioners everywhere are in search of new methods of pain relief. Purpose of research. The quality of life of patients with chronic pain syndrome has traditionally remained a topical issue. Given the permanent nature of pain and the completeness of approaches to its relief, the modern Clinician is constantly looking for new treatment methods that meet the principles of evidence-based medicine and safety. Material and methods. This paper presents the results of using Neurouridine® in 30 patients with peripheral neuropathy. 30 patients were randomized for a 3-week treatment period. Average age: 47.5±1.5 years. All patients received standard symptomatic therapy, and an oral combination drug containing b vitamins, folic acid, choline, and Uridine was added to the treatment in the 150 mg mode once a day. Patients made three visits to the outpatient neurological office: visit 1-to evaluate pre-treatment, visit 2-after 10 days of treatment, and visit 3-after 20 days of treatment. Each patient was presented with two performance evaluations at each study visit: pain assessment on the CRS NRS scale, and the fps Face scale. Results and discussion. Analysis of the results of the treatment showed improvement in the form of reduced pain, improved quality of life in 65.90%, rapid recovery of performance in 32.10%, reduced need for analgesics in 59.90% and complete disappearance of symptoms in 25.30% of patients. Pain was assessed using the HI NRG scale, the AZA Face scale, and the frequency of analgesics at the patient's first, second, and third visits. Conclusion. The use of Neurouridine® for analgesic purposes has shown a positive effect on reducing symptoms in patients with peripheral neuropathy. The results confirm that this therapy provides a clear regeneration of the nerves, relieving pain, and reducing the soreness characteristic of nerve damage. Keyword: peripheral neuropathy, Neurouridine®, pain assessment, quality of life.
