Children's Memory

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of temperament and trait anxiety on memory for pain.METHODS: Three dimensions of temperament, as well as trait anxiety, were assessed in 36 children (five to 12 years of age) undergoing dental procedures; after the procedure, the children provided pain ratings. Following a six- to eight-week delay, the children reported how much pain they remembered.RESULTS: Most children (85%) accurately recalled their pain. Temperament had no significant effect, but trait-anxious children showed a greater likelihood of recalling more pain than they initially reported, suggesting that they may negatively distort recollections of painful experiences.CONCLUSIONS: When treating children, in particular trait-anxious children, clinicians should consider what children remember as part of pain management intervention.

Children's Pain

This chapter provides a brief overview of paediatric procedural pain, highlighting some of the negative repercussions of untreated pain. The behavioural approach of distraction is covered in depth, starting with the theoretical underpinnings of this pain management intervention and then summarizing the distraction literature across children’s pain during immunizations, venous access, burn debridement and treatment, and cancer treatments. The chapter concludes with a discussion of some of the other reviews of this literature as well as clinical and research considerations when examining distraction for paediatric pain management.

African American Older Adults

Abstract Music has a known analgesic effect. Our multidisciplinary team is developing a music-focused module for Positive STEPS, a pain self-management intervention based on principles of positive psychology. The priority population is African American older adults with disabling chronic pain. Positive STEPS is delivered via website and phone calls from community health workers. To inform program design, we conducted two focus groups with older adults in Detroit (n=16; 100% female and African American; 75% age 70+). All participants said they would enjoy using music to cope with pain. Content analysis revealed the following themes regarding music for pain management: it elicits positive memories, reduces stress, motivates exercise and daily activities, and promotes relaxation. Participants offered ideas for music-focused activities, including learning about unfamiliar genres and using music for meditation/relaxation. Findings will inform the design of a new music module, to be pilot-tested for its effect on participant engagement and pain-related outcomes.

Management Intervention

Background: Musculoskeletal trauma represents a considerable global health burden. Pain is a complex, subjective personal experience. The assessment of pain is the essential perquisite for successful pain management. It is useful to decide the plan of initial treatment but also to reassess the degree of success. So the purpose of the study was to do assessment of pain management intervention, post-op analgesics for treatment of long bone fractures.Methods: All adult patients (more than IS years) reporting to Emergency Medicine Department of a tertiary care hospital with long hone fractures of lower limb were included in the study. Patient pain management was assessed by visual analogue score (VAS). Pain is a complex, subjective personal experience. The assessment of pain is the essential perquisite for successful pain management. It is useful to decide the plan of initial treatment but also to reassess the degree of success. The entire data is statistically analyzed using SPSS software. p-values less than 0.05 are considered to be statistically significant.Results:  74 cases got operated, 64 cases (86.5.0%) did not have any intra-op complications and 10 cases (13.50%) had intra-op complications .Postoperative analgesia the 74 cases operated was as follows: 17 cases (23.0%) epidural anaesthesia 41 Cases (55.4%) had epidural + intravenous analgesics. Recent was managed with 1.V, analgesics alone; 12 cases (16.20%) had tramadol, 2 cases (2.7%) received paracetamol and 2 cases (2.7%) had dynaper for post-operative analgesia.Conclusion: Adequate pain management on arrival in the Emergency Department is an important aspect in patient care and is not at all difficult to achieve. Femoral nerve block in Proximal lower limb fractures is very effective and easy to perform.
