Chronic Pain in Primary Care: Assessment Across the Lifespan Module 2 Stephanie Key, MSN, RN, CPNP-PC Mary Lou Adams, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FAAN Frances Sonstein, MSN, RN, FNP, CNS Diane Tyler, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FNP-C, FAAN Paula Worley, MSN, RN, FNP-BC The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing Consultants: Yvonne D’Arcy, MSN, RN and JoEllen Wynne, MSN, RN, FNP-BC, FAANP Objectives: Discuss factors that affect the assessment of chronic pain. Describe components of the comprehensive assessment of chronic pain. Identify valid and reliable pain assessment tools appropriate for primary care. Goal: provide NPs with a concise overview of standardized pain assessment methods. Factors that affect Pain Assessment Personal meaning of pain ◦ Quality of life ◦ Financial burden ◦ Social isolation Cultural aspects ◦ Race/ethnicity ◦ Language Cognition Extraneous factors Comprehensive Assessment History ◦ Present Illness (OLDCARTS) Onset Location Duration Characteristics Aggravating and Alleviating factors Radiate Timing Severity/Intensity ◦ Past medical (co-morbidities) ◦ Any past issues with pain management Comprehensive Assessment Physical Examination ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Vital Signs General survey Neurological exam Musculoskeletal exam Pain evaluation & descriptors Nociceptive Sharp & stabbing; Dull, aching & throbbing Neuropathic Burning, electric & tingling Comprehensive Assessment Psychosocial factors ◦ Impact on lifestyle Family dynamics Social isolation Sleep Work productivity ◦ Fear of addiction ◦ Mental health Suicide risk Depression Comprehensive Assessment Medication review ◦ Current medicines ◦ Past medicines for pain control and effect Behavioral measures ◦ Checklist of Nonverbal Pain Indicators(CNPI) Vocal complaints: nonverbal (sighs, gasps, groans, moans, cries) Facial grimaces (furrowed brow, clenched teeth, tightened lips, distorted expressions, narrowed eyes) Bracing (clutching or holding onto something or affected area during movement) Restlessness (constant or intermittent shifting, rocking, hand motions, inability to sit still) Rubbing (massaging of affected area) Vocal complaints (words expressing pain or discomfort, cursing during movement, exclamations of protest) Feldt, K.S. (2000). The checklist of nonverbal pain indicators (CNPI). Pain Management Nursing.3(1): 13-21. Comprehensive Assessment Diagnostic Studies ◦ Individualized to the patient and history ◦ Low back pain national guidelines “Diagnostic imaging is indicated for patients with low back pain only if they have severe progressive neurologic impairments or signs or symptoms indicating a serious or specific underlying condition, or if they are candidates for invasive interventions. Routine imaging is not associated with clinically meaningful benefits in other patients and can lead to Roger Chou, Amir Qaseem, Douglas K. harms.” Owens, Paul Shekelle, ; Diagnostic Imaging for Low Back Pain: Advice for High-Value Health Care From the American College of Physicians. Annals of Internal Medicine. 2011 Feb;154(3):181-189. Pain Assessment Tools Types of Pain Scales ◦ Uni-dimensional ◦ Multi-dimensional Tools for Adults Tools for Children Tools for Adults Adult faces tool Multiple-Language Pain Assessment Scale Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)- Short form McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) Short-form MPQ Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS) Depression scale Tools for Children and Infants Wong/Baker Faces Rating Scale Body Outline Tool Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) Depression scale Tool for Dementia Patients Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scale (PAINAD) ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Breathing Negative vocalizations Facial expression Body language Consolability Scores range 0-10 Screen for Addiction Screening Instrument for Substance Abuse Potential (SISAP)® ◦ a 5-item, clinician-administered test that asks pointed questions concerning alcohol, marijuana, and cigarette abuse Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients in Pain (SOAPP)® ◦ a self-report questionnaire available in 5-, 14-, and 24-item versions, which has recently undergone revisions and which is considered less susceptible to patient deception Opioid Risk Tool (ORT) ® ◦ a 5-item, yes-or-no, self-report for measuring and predicting the probability that a patient taking opioids will display aberrant behaviors Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM)® ◦ a 40-item patient directed questionnaire that assesses how patient is currently using their medications Implications Assessment is the basis for appropriate management. Assessment is a multifactorial process. The patient is part of the team in managing chronic pain. As a health care provider, it is pertinent to trust your patients and verify the information.
