RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: A panel of experts in pain medicine and public policy convened to examine root causes and risk factors for opioid-related poisoning deaths and to propose recommendations to reduce death rates. METHODS: Panelists reviewed results from a search of PubMed and state and federal government sources to assess frequency, demographics, and risk factors for opioid-related overdose deaths over the past decade. They also reviewed results from a Utah Department of Health study and a summary of malpractice lawsuits involving opioid-related deaths. RESULTS: National data demonstrate a pattern of increasing opioid-related overdose deaths beginning in the early 2000s. A high proportion of methadone-related deaths was noted. Although methadone represented less than 5% of opioid prescriptions dispensed, one third of opioid-related deaths nationwide implicated methadone. Root causes identified by the panel were physician error due to knowledge deficits, patient non-adherence to the prescribed medication regimen, unanticipated medical and mental health comorbidities, including substance use disorders, and payer policies that mandate methadone as first-line therapy. Other likely contributors to all opioid-related deaths were the presence of additional central nervous system-depressant drugs (e.g., alcohol, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants) and sleep-disordered breathing. CONCLUSIONS: Causes of opioid-related deaths are multifactorial, so solutions must address prescriber behaviors, patient contributory factors, nonmedical use patterns, and systemic failures. Clinical strategies to reduce opioid-related mortality should be empirically tested, should not reduce access to needed therapies, should address risk from methadone as well as other opioids, and should be incorporated into any risk evaluation and mitigation strategies enacted by regulators.

RESUMO

Pain is a common complaint and its perception is a complex issue. The older person with neck and shoulder pain may have contributions to that pain from multiple and diverse sources. These can range from nociceptive stimulation, neurologic sensitization, emotional issues, socio-cultural biases, cognitive interpretation and meanings of the pain to that person, concurrent medical and psychiatric illnesses, and memory (both pain and non-pain related memories). The affective dimension of pain can be more influential on a person's ultimate pain experience than the sensory-discriminative component, and both must be understood for each patient, in terms of it's relative weight in each pain. Neck and shoulder pain can represent eudynia and maldynia, or concurrent existence of both. To properly treat patients with this complaint, physicians must understand what comprises each individual's pain hologram and direct treatment at as many component parts as possible.
