Nociceptive vs Neuropathic Pain
Nociceptive
Pain
Mixed Type

Caused by activity in neural
pathways in response to
potentially tissue-damaging
stimuli
Neuropathic
Pain
Initiated or caused by
primary lesion or
dysfunction in the nervous
system

The Multimodal Plan
•
Enhance or achieve analgesia with additive or
synergistic effect
•
Limit the duration and intensity of pain
•
Reduction in doses to minimize or prevent side
effects
•
Attack different portions of the pain pathway
Pre-emptive Analgesia (Preventive
Anesthesia)
•
Utilizing interventions prior to noxious stimulus
•
The Controversy
– Medications used
– Dosage administered
– Time of administration

Figure 1 . Schematic representation showing the
administration (+) or nonadministration (-) of drugs across
the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases
of surgery, yielding 8 different treatment combinations and
28 possible 2-group designs to evaluate the efficacy of
preemptive and preventive analgesia. The classic
preemptive analgesia design requires 2 groups of patients to
receive identical treatment before or after incision or
surgery (treatment combinations 2 vs 3 and 2 vs 4). This
represents only one of many possible hypotheses
concerning the effects of blocking noxious perioperative
inputs on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption.

TRPV-1
• TRPV-1 located on nociceptors
(predominantly C-fibers)
• TRPV-1 activation

• Regeneration of pain receptors
occurs over weeks to months
• Noxious pain is blocked, but not

Clarke H. Anesth Analg. 2012
Dosing Recommendations?
•
Adult spinal fusions
– 62 patients
– Goal of 24hr total morphine dose <44mg
– Oral dose 2.5 hrs prior to induction
– ED50=21.7mg/kg
•
Pediatric spinal fusions
– 59 patients age 9-18 yo
– 15mg/kg x 5days
– Significantly less morphine use in PACU and day 1 and 2
Rusy LM. Anesth Anal. 2010
VanElstraete AC. Anesth. Anal. 2008
What about Pregablin?
•
6 x’s more potent
•
Doses < 100mg have generally been ineffective
•
Surgeries with a high likelihood of nerve damage
– Postthoracotomy
– Postherniorrhaphy
– Postamputation
– Postmastectomy
– Spinal Fusion
•
Risk of sedation increased with dose
Perioperative Oral Pregabalin Reduces Chronic
Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A
Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial
•
Pregabalin 300 mg preop, 150-50 BID postop for
14 days.
•
At both 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the
incidence of neuropathic pain was less frequent in
the pregabalin group (0%) compared with the
placebo group (8.7% and 5.2% at 3 and 6 months).
Buvanendran K et al. Anesth Analg 2010;110:199 –207)
Perioperative Oral Pregabalin Reduces Chronic Pain
After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective,
Randomized, Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: Perioperative pregabalin administration
reduces the incidence of chronic neuropathic pain after
TKA with less opioid consumption and better range of
motion during the first 30 days of rehabilitation.
However, in the doses tested, it is associated with a
higher risk of early postoperative sedation and
confusion.
Buvanendran K et al. Anesth Analg 2010;110:199 –207)
Recommendations on Gabapentinoids
• Alpha-2 delta subunit blockers, not approved for acute pain
• Reduces opioid requirements
• May limit development of hyperalgesia
• Useful for opioid dependent patients, and patients at risk for
developing neuropathic pain.
• Oral dose Gabapentin (600 to 1200 mg) or pregabalin (150mg) given
the morning of surgery
• Doses may be continued postoperatively for patients with severe pain
and tolerating oral medications
•No conclusions with regard to adverse effect reduction
Lidocaine Infusions
•
Meta-analysis 250 patients
– Moderate but statistically significant reduction in
pain scores
– Decreased N/V and LOS
•
Lauwick et al.
– 40 patients, lidocaine vs saline for 24 hrs post op
– Primary outcome was functional walking
– Smaller reduction in walking capacity and less PCA
use
•
Appears to have moderate and short lasting effects
Lidocaine for
Postoperative Ileus and Pain
•
Lidocaine infusion
– 24 h infusion 60 mg/hr
– Lidocaine has anti-inflammatory effects
– Evidence for prevention of secondary sensitization
– BM and hospital discharge greater than a day earlier in treatment
group
•
Other studies limit to only pre- and intra-operative
infusions
•
A new role for lidocaine in the multimodal
armamentaria of postoperative management?
