Track 01: Interventional
Pain Management
Interventional pain
management refers to special procedures such as injections and spinal cord
stimulation that are performed in a pain management clinic or centre
to treat and manage pain. At the Pain Management Centres advanced
interventional pain management services are provided by a team of
anaesthesiologists with specialty training in interventional pain
management techniques. Interventional
pain management a multidisciplinary approach to helping the
patients reliving from pain. Some conditions interventional pain management
techniques commonly treat are chronic headaches, mouth, or face
pain; low back pain; muscle and/or bone pain; neck pain.

Track 02: Pain Management
and Rehabilitation
Acute, short-term pain is often a sign of
injury or disease, while chronic pain is most frequently associated with
conditions such as headaches, lower-back pain, or fibromyalgia, which is often
characterized by pain in the back, hands, neck, shoulders, or pelvis and
accompanied by fatigue or sleep disturbances. Rehabilitation
program usually design individualized patient assessments,
treatments, and follow-up plans. Medication reduction, psychological treatment
(directed particularly at depression and anxiety), family counselling,
socialization skills, and educational or vocational counselling are emphasized.
Migraine and other types of headaches, such as tension headache and sinus
headache, are painful. Migraine symptoms
include a pounding headache, nausea, vomiting, and light sensitivity and are
treated with anti-nausea drugs and abortive or preventive medications. Headache remedies
include pain relievers. Back pain includes
lower back pain, middle back pain, upper back pain or low back pain with
sciatica. Nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis
can result in back pain. Back pain symptoms may be relieved with pain
medication or pain killers.

Track 03: Pain Control
Techniques
To prepare for any chronic
pain coping technique, it is important to learn how to use
focus and deep breathing to relax the body. Pain control
techniques mainly involves altered focus. This is a
favourite technique for demonstrating how powerfully the mind can alter
sensations in the body. Focus your attention on any specific non-painful part
of the body and alter pain sensation in that part of the body. Dissociation as
the name implies, this chronic pain technique involves mentally separating the
painful body part from the rest of the body, or imagining the body and mind as
separate, with the chronic pain distant from one’s mind. Sensory
splitting: this technique involves dividing the sensation into separate
parts. Mental anaesthesia: this involves imagining an injection of numbing
anaesthetic (like Novocain) into the painful area, such as imagining a numbing
solution being injected into your low back. Mental analgesia building
on the mental anaesthesia concept, this technique involves imagining an
injection of a strong pain killer, such as morphine, into the painful area.
Alternatively, you can imagine your brain producing massive amount of
endorphins, the natural pain relieving substance
of the body, and having them flow to the painful parts of your body.

Track 04: Pain Medication
The World Health
Organization recommends a pain ladder for managing analgesia. It was
first described for use in cancer pain, but it can be used by medical
professionals as a general principle when dealing with analgesia for
any type of pain. Generally, the drugs are classified for pain mainly
include, Opioid
medication scan provide short, intermediate or long acting
analgesia depending upon the specific properties of the medication and whether
it is formulated as an extended release drug. Narcotics also referred
to as opioid pain relievers used only for pain that is severe and is not helped
by other forms of painkillers.
When used rigorously and underneath a doctor's direct care, these medications
are often effective at reducing pain. Narcotics work by binding to receptors
into the brain that blocks the sensation of pain. When used rigorously and
underneath a doctor's direct care, they'll be effective at reducing pain. Antidepressant
medication for treatment of depression as well as other
different disorders that will occur alone or together with depression, like
chronic pain, sleep disorders, or anxiety disorders. Antidepressants are
medication used for the treatment of major depressive disorder and different
conditions, chronic pain and neuropathic pain. Anticonvulsants
or anti-seizure medications, work as adjuvant analgesics. In different
words, they can treat some forms of chronic pain even if they're not designed
for that purpose. Whereas the most use of anti-seizure medication is preventing
seizures, anticonvulsants do seem to be effective at treating certain forms of
chronic pain. These include neuropathic pain, like peripheral
neuropathy, and chronic headaches like migraines.

Track 05: Pain Syndrome
Carpal tunnel
syndrome (CTS) may be a medical condition within which the
median nerve is compressed because it travels through the carpus at the carpal
tunnel and causes pain, symptom, and tingling, within a part of the hand that
receives sensation from the median nerve. Piriformis
syndrome may be a neuromuscular disorder that happens
once the sciatic nerve is compressed or otherwise irritated by the piriformis
muscle inflicting pain, tingling and symptom within the buttocks and on the
trail of the nerve descending the lower thigh and into the leg. Complex regional
pain syndrome (CRPS) it's a chronic general un-wellness
characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin. CRPS usually
worsens over time. it's going to at the start associated effect on arm or leg
and unfold throughout the body; thirty-fifths of individuals report symptoms
throughout their whole body. Alternative potential effects include general
involuntary dysregulation; animal tissue oedema; system, endocrine, or medical
specialty manifestations; and changes in urological or gi operate. Central
pain syndrome may be a neurologic condition caused by injury or
malfunction within the central system (CNS) that causes a sensitization of the
pain system. The extent of pain and the area unit as affected are associated
with the reason behind the injury. Compartment syndrome is augmented
pressure inside one in all the body's compartments that contain muscles and
nerves. Compartment syndrome most typically happens in compartments within the
leg or arm. There are unit 2 main sorts of compartment syndrome: acute and
chronic. Fibromyalgia(FM) may be a medical condition characterized by
chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to pressure.
Symptoms apart from pain might occur, resulting in the utilization of the
term Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Alternative symptoms embrace
feeling tired to a degree that ordinary activities area unit affected, sleep
disturbance, and joint stiffness. Some folks additionally report a problem with
swallowing bowl and bladder abnormalities.

Track 06: NSAIDs and
Analgesics
NSAIDs are among the most common pain
relievers in the world. NSAIDs or
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are among the most
common pain relief medicines in the world. Every day more than 30
million Americans use them to soothe headaches, sprains, arthritis symptoms,
and other daily discomforts, according to the American Gastroenterological
Association. And as if that wasn't enough, in addition to dulling pain NSAIDs
also lower fever and reduce swelling. NSAIDs work on a chemical level.
They block the effects of special enzymes specifically Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes.
These enzymes play a key role in making prostaglandins. By blocking the Cox
enzymes, NSAIDs stop your body from making as many prostaglandins. This means
less swelling and less pain. A few different types of NSAIDs are available over
the counter: Aspirin (Bayer, Bufferin, Excedrin); Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB);
Naproxen (Aleve). Opioid analgesics have been used as medicinal
agents, especially for the treatment of acute and chronic
pain. Morphine is the most commonly used opioid analgesic in the
postoperative period, but some practitioners prefer other agents, such as
hydromorphone.Opiate pain relievers are strong medicines that can be very
helpful in treating pain, especially after an injury or surgery. They are
safest when you use them exactly as your doctor prescribes. But there is a risk
of addiction when you take them for more than a few days. Drugs like
codeine, fentanyl,
hydrocodone, hydrocodone/acetaminophen, meperidine are commonly
used opioid analgesics for pain. Less common side effects include: Ulcers of
the oesophagus, Heart failure, Hyperkalaemia, Reduced kidney function,
Bronchospasm, Skin infections.

Track 07: Pharmacological
Approaches for Pain
Pain relieving drugs, otherwise called
analgesics, include nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, narcotics, antidepressants,
anticonvulsants, and others. NSAIDs and acetaminophen are available as over-the-counter
and prescription medications, and are frequently the initial pharmacological
treatment for pain. These drugs can also be used as adjuvants
to the other drug therapies, which might require a doctor's prescription.
NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen Motrin, Advil, Nuprin, naproxen sodium, and
ketoprofen, Orudis KT. These drugs are used to treat pain from inflammation and
work by blocking production of pain-enhancing neurotransmitters, such as
prostaglandins. Acetaminophen is also effective against pain, but its
ability to reduce inflammation is limited. Narcotics handle intense
pain effectively and are used for cancer pain and acute pain that does not
respond to NSAIDs and acetaminophen. Narcotics are classified as
either opiates or opioids and are available only with a doctor's
prescription. Opiates include morphine and codeine, which are derived
from opium, a substance naturally found in some poppy species. Opioids are
synthetic drugs based on the structure of opium. This drug class includes drugs
such as oxycodone, methadone, and meperidine. Although antidepressant
drugs were developed to treat depression, it has been discovered that they
are also effective in combating some chronic headaches, cancer pain, and pain
associated with nerve damage. Antidepressants that have been shown to
have analgesic (pain reducing) properties include amitriptyline Elavil,
trazodone and imipramine. Anticonvulsant drugs share a similar background
with antidepressants. Developed to treat epilepsy, certain anticonvulsants were
found to relieve pain as well. Drugs such as phenytoin and carbamazepine are
prescribed to treat the pain associated with nerve damage.

Track 08: Non-Pharmacological
Approaches for Pain
Non-pharmacological
approaches may contribute to effective analgesia and
are often well accepted by patients. Some simple measures which are sometimes
recommended eg, hot or cold packs have not been well studied. Complementary
therapies for pain are often sought out by patients, and
require evaluation for their potential role in the palliative care setting.
Patient education about managing cancer pain has been studied. A
systematic review shows that educational interventions can have a modest but
clinically significant impact on pain, and that this is an underutilised
strategy. Non- pharmacological methods used in pain management can be
classified in different ways. In general, they are stated as physical,
cognitive, behavioural and other complementary methods or as invasive or non-invasive
methods. Meditation, progressive relaxation, dreaming, rhythmic
respiration, biofeedback, therapeutic touching, transcutaneous electrical nerve
stimulation, hypnosis, musical therapy, acupressure and cold-hot treatments are
non-invasive methods. The most famous and common method among the invasive
methods is acupuncture. It is considered that these methods control
the gates that are vehicles for pain to be transmitted to the brain and affect
pain transmission or the release of natural opioids of the body such as
endorphin.

Track 09: Arthritis &
Inflammation
Inflammation is
a process by which the body's white blood cells and substances they
produce protect us from infection with foreign organisms, such as bacteria and
viruses. However, in some diseases, like arthritis the
body's defence system the immune system triggers an inflammatory
response when there are no foreign invaders to fight off. In these
diseases, called autoimmune
diseases, the body's normally protective immune system causes
damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected
or somehow abnormal.

Track 10: Pain Assessment
Tools
These practice tools are
available to help healthcare professionals diagnose and treat pain more
appropriately in their patients. Pain is often regarded as the fifth vital sign
in regard to healthcare because it is accepted now in healthcare that pain,
like other vital signs, is an objective sensation rather than subjective. Most
pain assessments are done in the form of a scale. The scale is explained to the
patient, who then chooses a score. A rating is taken before administering any
medication and after the specified time frame to rate the efficacy of
treatment. Pain assessment
tools mainly includes pain history or clinical history it
includes general medical history and specific pain history intensity, location,
pathophysiology etc. Uni-dimensional
tool is simple easy and very useful mainly includes verbal
descriptor scale, verbal numeric rating scale, visual analogue scale,
wong-baker facial pain rating scale. Multidimensional instruments provides
more complex information about pain, for assessing chronic pain and those are
time consuming.

Track 11: Cancer Pain
Management
There are several causes of cancer pain,
however usually cancer pain happens once a tumour presses on nerves
or body organs or once cancer cells invade bones or body organs. Cancer
treatments like therapy radiation, or surgery conjointly might
cause pain. Cancer pain is acute or chronic. Acute pain is owing to
injury caused by AN injury and tends to solely last a brief time. For instance,
having an operation will cause acute pain. The pain goes once the wound heals.
Within the in the meantime, painkillers can typically keep it in
check. Chronic pain is pain caused by changes to nerves. Nerve
changes might occur owing to cancer pressing on nerves or owing to chemical
produced by a tumour.
It may also be caused by nerve changes owing to cancer treatment. The pain
continues long once the injury or treatment is over and may vary from delicate
to severe. It is there all the time and is additionally referred to as
persistent pain. Chronic pain is
tough to treat, however painkillers or alternative pain management strategies
will usually with success management it.

Track 12: Paediatric Pain
Management
Chronic pain may be a growing downside
among paediatric and
adolescents, with some epidemiologic studies indicating that roughly
half-hour of youngsters and adolescent’s expertise pain that lasts for three
months or longer. The foremost common paediatric
chronic pain complaints mainly migraine repeated abdominal
pain, and general contractile organ pain, together with limb pain and back
pain. Chronic pain is usually related to practical incapacity. Within
the paediatric population this incapacity most often manifests as
college impairment, problem maintaining social contacts, slashed participation
in recreational activities, impairments in health connected quality of life,
and a rise in health care utilization. As a result, these patient’s actual high
prices on the health care system.

Track 13: Orofacial Pain
Orofacial pain is
a general term covering any pain which is felt in the mouth, jaws and the face.
Orofacial pain is a common symptom, and there are many causes. Orofacial
pain has been defined as "pain localized to the region above the
neck, in front of the ears and below the orbitomeatal line, as well as pain
within the oral cavity, pain of dental origin andtemporomandibular
disorders". It is estimated that over 95% of cases of orofacial pain
result from dental causes (i.e.
Toothache caused by pulpitis or a dental abscess). However, some orofacial pain
conditions may involve areas outside this region, e.g. temporal pain in
TMD.Toothache, or
odontalgia, is any pain perceived in the teeth or their supporting
structures (i.e. the periodontium). Toothache is therefore a type of
orofacial pain. Craniofacial
pain is an overlapping topic which includes pain perceived in
the head, face, and related structures, sometimes including neck pain. All
other causes of orofacial pain are rare in comparison, although the full
differential diagnosis is extensive.

Track 14: Pain Management
Nursing
The nurse’s primary
commitment is to the health, welfare, comfort and safety of the
patient. Self-awareness, knowledge of pain and pain assessment, and knowledge
of the standard of care for pain management enhances the nurse’s ability to
advocate for and assure effectivepain management for each patient. When advocating
for the patient, it is crucial that the nurse utilize and reference current
evidence-based pain management standards and guidelines. The role
of nurse is
responsible and accountable to ensure that a patient receives appropriate
evidence-based nursing
assessment and intervention which effectively treats the patient’s
pain and meets the recognized standard of care.

Pain is described by the patient mostly in
terms such as stabbing, burning, tearing, squeezing, etc. Acute
pain is accompanied by a stress response consisting of increase in blood
pressure, tachycardia, pupillary dilatation, and high plasma cortisol levels.
This may be accompanied bylocal muscle
contraction. Four broad categories of pain are generally
nociception, pain perception, pain behaviours. Chronic pain affects
20% of the European population and is commoner in women, older people, and with
relative deprivation. Its management in the community remains generally
unsatisfactory, partly because of lack of evidence for effectiveinterventions.
Good epidemiological
research on chronic pain provides important information on
prevalence and factors associated with its onset and persistence. Improving our
understanding of associated factors will inform our clinical
management, limiting severity, and minimizing disability.

Track 16: Neuropathic Pain
and Neuro Orthopaedics
Neuropathic pain caused
by impairment or disease affecting the somatosensory nervous system.
Neuropathic pain can be contrasted to nociceptive pain that
occurs when someone experiences an acute injury. This type of pain is typically
short-lived and generally quite responsive to common pain medications in
contrast to neuropathic pain. Neuro-orthopaedic service offers
the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment to patients whose arms or legs
are impaired by brain injury, stroke, anoxia, central nervous disorders,
or orthopaedicconditions.

Track 17: Acute
Pancreatitis
Acute
pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the
pancreas that is painful and at times deadly. Despite the great advances in
critical care medicine over the past 20 years, the mortality rate of acute
pancreatitis has remained at about 10%. Inflammation of
the pancreatic tissue can be divided into chronic and acute
inflammation depending on the degree of resolution of
the tissue inflammation. Over 80% of all cases of acute pancreatitis are
due togallstones or the alcohol abuse. Severe abdominal pain is
the hallmark symptom of patients suffering from acute pancreatitis as
well as of chronic pancreatitis. The successful treatment of patients with
acute pancreatitis has three prerequisites:
Track 19: Pain Management
Market
Globally pain management
devices market is valued at an estimated USD 3.08 Billion in
2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period of
2016 to 2021. Several factors, such as the mounting demand for long-term pain
management among the geriatric population, large patient population base,
adverse effects of pain medications, progress ofnovel pain
management device, conventional compensation scenario for spinal cord
stimulation (SCS) devices in established countries, and high proven efficiency
of pain management device for the treatment of chronic
pain are driving the growth of the global market.
This report covers three major pain management
device types, namely, neurostimulator devices, ablation devices, and analgesic
infusion pumps. The neurostimulator devicessegment is expected to witness
the highest growth and account for the largest share of thepain management
devices market in 2016. This can be attributed to the
advantages of neurostimulator over alternative therapies for managing
chronic pain. Also, the long-term cost efficiency and technological
developments in neurostimulator devices are contributing to the growth
of this market segment.
Based on application, the global pain
management device market is segmented into neuropathic pain, cancer pain,
facial pain & migraine, musculoskeletal pain, and others. Theneuropathic
pain application segment is estimated to witness the maximum growth during
the forecast period, principally due to the presence of substantial clinical
evidence in the favour of high efficacy of pain management device in
neuropathic pain treatment, favourable reimbursement scenario, development of
novel neuropathic pain management device, large patient population base, rising
geriatric population across the globe, and side effects of drugs used to treat
