  1. Improving Safety of Chronic Opioid Prescribing by Incorporating Clinical Pharmacists on Teams

    Improving Safety of Chronic Opioid Prescribing by Incorporating Clinical Pharmacists on Teams

    The management of chronic noncancer pain with opioid medications is controversial. The negative consequences have been described as a public health emergency and the efficacy of chronic opioid therapy remains a subject of significant debate. Despite recommendations that chronic opioid therapy not be utilized until other methods fail, there remains a large population of patients for whom no other therapy has been effective and a large cohort of people who have been treated for years with opioids. Many new patients are still started and maintained on chronic opioid therapy. This course describes one system’s use of clinical pharmacists incorporated into the pain management team to reduce risks. Participants will learn how the pharmacists are utilized in this team-based model. Topics covered will include the nuts and bolts about how to incorporate pharmacists into clinical management, outcomes of the model of care, DEA certification for pharmacists, billing for services, and lessons learned.

  2. Buprenorphine: A Molecule for All Seasons

    2021. 07. 12.

    Buprenorphine: A Molecule for All Seasons

    Buprenorphine was developed by UK based Reckitt & Colman Products and released in the United Kingdom in 1978. That same year, a clinical study determined that buprenorphine could be helpful in reducing cravings of pure opioids in patients with an opioid abuse disorder. Then, a separate study published in 1982 demonstrated that buprenorphine offered excellent analgesia with a blunted abuse liability. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptors and an antagonist at the kappa receptors. Mu-opioid receptor activity produces the analgesic effects of buprenorphine, while a strong affinity for the kappa receptors render them inactive. While initially buprenorphine was used as an anesthetic, currently it has been prescribed for the induction and maintenance in patients with an opioid use disorder. However, buprenorphine is a unique molecule with multiple applications. This presentation will provide an in-depth discussion of the history of buprenorphine and its application for pain control, opioid use disorders, and antisuicide properties in patients with chronic pain

  3. That’s Debatable! Does Cannabis Reduce Opioid Death, and Does Gabapentin Increase It?

    That’s Debatable! Does Cannabis Reduce Opioid Death, and Does Gabapentin Increase It?

    The use of opioids to treat chronic pain has become quite contentious in recent years. Things get even more confusing when we consider adding an adjuvant analgesic in the mix. Does this reduce or heighten risk? The audience can decide where to throw spitballs when 2 practitioners debate 2 separate topics. First, is the use of cannabis plus an opioid likely to provide an enhanced clinical effect (eg, allow for opioid dose reduction and by extension, harm), make no difference, or possibly cause more harm. The second debate will evaluate the use of gabapentin plus an opioid. On one hand, we have data showing the gabapentinoids may be habituating and result in addiction. Combining gabapentin with an opioid may also increase the risk of mortality. On the other hand, rational polypharmacy, using an opioid and gabapentin, has been shown to result in superior clinical outcomes compared to either analgesic alone. So perplexing. What’s a practitioner to do? Listen to the debate and decide for yourself!

  4. When Darkness Falls: Managing Pain in Fibromyalgia and Restless Leg Syndrome

    When Darkness Falls: Managing Pain in Fibromyalgia and Restless Leg Syndrome

    In previous presentations, Dr. Jay has discussed the pathophysiology, neuroanatomical, and other aspects of fibromyalgia. In this activity, all of that will NOT be discussed, so the focus can be only on the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome. Treatment will be covered in depth, not the phenomenology that is the complex neuroanatomical and neuropathological backgrounds of these diatheses. The goal is to provide clinicians with practical information to be utilized upon seeing patients following the conference.

  5. Back Pain: It's All About the Diagnosis

    Back Pain: It's All About the Diagnosis

    The prevalence of back pain continues despite the many treatments available, without any single treatment being a panacea. In routine clinical practice there has been a tendency of clinical examinations to become more cursory, largely influenced by increasing demands of time and arguably an overreliance upon technology. It has been suggested that the failure to adequately differentially diagnose the cause of back pain can account for clinical failures in treatment. The purpose of this discussion is to assist clinicians in the development of a more problem focused examination to enhance the differential diagnosis of specific pain generators, and therefore lead to more patient specific treatment. Attention will be given to considering all aspects of the examination, including physical assessment as well as imaging studies, and the ability to rationalize when pathologies seen on imaging studies may or may not be clinically significant. The importance of considering how failed treatments influence the differential diagnosis will also be discussed.

    Icebergs, Oceans, and the Experience of Pain

    Today’s providers are limited by time and must work with extreme efficiency. And yet for many, 100% of their time is used trying to treat 20% of their patients’ problems. This presentation will address the problem of chronic pain, provide simple tools to use during any office visit, and explain the power of positive and negative thoughts on the chronic pain experience.

  7. No Guts, No Glory: Mystery of the Microbiome

    No Guts, No Glory: Mystery of the Microbiome

    Several recent studies have found intriguing links between gut microbes, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases. Additional studies have shown the interactions between the central nervous system, enteric nervous system, and the gastrointestinal tract, suggestive that gut microbiota appears to influence the development of emotional behavior, and stress- and pain-modulation systems. In the age of modern medicine, it is easy to forget that we change our body chemistry every time we eat. The quality and composition of our food has the power to increase or decrease body wide inflammation and modulate pain. Our relationship to food and the way we eat is also cultural and influenced by stress and our environment. The research evidence is robust for dietary interventions and improved health. The changes needed are simple, but not necessarily easy. This lecture will focus on the role that modulation of the microbiome plays in pain, and the ways to optimize the health of the individuals’ gut microbes for pain management and overall well-being.

  8. Better With Age? Pain Management of the Older Adult

    Better With Age? Pain Management of the Older Adult

    Pain is common in the aging population. Findings from an NIH funded study looking at the impact on pain in the older adult found that over 50% of people surveyed had pain within the last month, often in more than one location. Despite the high prevalence of pain, pain often remains undertreated, resulting in impaired cognition, decreased socialization, sleep disturbances, and a reduced quality of life. Our bodies react differently to medications due to medical comorbidities and metabolic changes due to the aging process itself. Understanding the correct choices of analgesic utilizing a multimodal approach to treatment is important in providing safe and effective pain therapies. Patients with dementia or in the late stages of disease may propose a unique pain control challenge due to difficulty in the ability to verbalize pain. This session will explain the differences in response to analgesic medications due to the aging process and provide recommendations for individualized pain control based on specific patient characteristics.
