Any one is welcome to join in this project
to create the Pain section of Physiopedia
. You will be joining people from all over the world in contributing evidence based articles to create an evidence based reference on Pain.  In return for your efforts you will
be provided with
a certificate of completion to evidence your learning
and professional development
through your involvement with this project.

We very much hope you will watch this space
over the coming months and beyond
and ultimately find it a useful point of reference…..and if you do, we hope you will guide colleagues towards it!

<br>A multidimensional experience... <br>The Bio..<br>3. *Nociception
:
Describe nociceptors and the need for adequate stimuli to activate nociceptors in different tissue types (i.e. skin, muscle, joint, viscera). <br>4. *Peripheral sensitization describe peripheral sensitization and how these changes are associated with pain perception<br>5. Neurogenic Inflammation
:
Describe neurogenic inflammation, the neurotransmitters involved in this process, and how these neurotransmitters could contribute to peripheral pain processing<br>6. Processing of nociception: 6a.Describe and explain the afferent innervations of the spinal cord from different tissue types, and how pain from different tissues is processed centrally. 6b. Describe the changes and role of ion channels, excitatory neurotransmitters, and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the peripheral nervous system and in non-neuronal cells, and how these changes influence the processing of noceception.

7. title??: Describe the pain pathways involved in the sensory discriminative and motivational affective component of pain.<br>8.Central sensitisation: Describe and define central sensitization and how this is similar and different from peripheral sensitization.<br>9.Pain Behaviours: Describe the mechanisms that underlie pain behaviors: referred pain, primary hyperalgesia, secondary hyperalgesia, allodynia<br>10. Alteration of nociception transmission post injury: Describe the role of excitatory neurotransmitters, inhibitory neurotransmitters, and glia in the central nervous system in enhancement of pain transmission, and changes that occur as a result of tissue injury.<br>11. Descending pathways: Describe the descending pathways that modulate pain transmission<br>12. Pain facilitation and inhibition: Define and describe the the differences between them in terms of brain sites and neurotransmitters that play a role in this process. And how these pathways can be activated by non-pharmacological treatments.<br>13. Chronic pain and the brain: Describe and explain the long term impact of pain on the brain.<br>14. Neuroimaging: Describe imaging tools used and key brain regions underpinning the experience of pain, and how this changes depending upon the context, cognitive and emotional state of the individual.<br>15. Theories on the interactions between pain and motor function: Describe/compare/contrast

The Psycho…<br>16. Describe and explain current theories of the psychological basis of pain e.g……..fear avoidance, pain-related anxiety, pain catastrophising, stress. and learned helplessness.

Pain assessment<br>18. Tools: 18a. Describe and explain the use of common tools used to measure each component of a pain experience: Sensory/Affective/Cognitive/Physiological/Behavioural 18b. critique the commonly used measures for different pain dimensions: 1.Self-report measures as "accepted standard" not gold standard. 2. Physical performance measures including Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs). 3. Physiological/autonomic response measures<br>19. Complexities of measurement: Describe and explain the considerations that maybe required when assessing an individuals pain experience relating to : communication barriers, cognitive impairment, spirituality, ethnicity, age, pain type/state e.g. cancer pain or neuropathic pain.

Pain Management<br>20. 20a. Multidisciplinary care: Describe and explain the role and responsibilities of the physical therapist in pain management and the integration of physical therapy into the interdisciplinary team. 20.b. Roles and responsibilities of other health care professionals in the area of pain management and the merits of interdisciplinary collaboration.<br>21. Pharmacology: Describe the principles of the pharmacology of medications used to treat pain: non-opioid medications, opioids, adjuvants and topical analgesics and local anaesthetics. Including limitations of the pharmacological management of chronic pain.<br>22. Patient Education: Describe the evidence base supporting the use of therapeutic neuroscience education and self-management as a critical part of pain management (this could include education styles: biomedical, psychological, neuroscience. Service delivery options: face to face, web-based, group education. Models used: stings of change theory etc)<br>23. Behvaioural Approaches: Describe cognitive and physical aspects of behavioural approaches to pain management and how applied in practice. <br>24. Psychological Approaches: Describe models/theories and how applied in practice e.g. self efficacy, readiness to change, acceptance, coping<br>24. Exercise and activity: including exercise prescription and modification for pts in pain - reps/sets/duration/intensity/pacing/goal setting/motivation <br>25. Re-engagement with vocation/function: links between pain and function/work lags model and barriers to re-engagement<br>26. Traditional physiotherapy interventions: electrotherapy/acupuncture/manipulation/massage/relaxation - can we just link to other pages already written for these????
