|
Definition
| It is a chemcial mediator that is thought to be involved in the transmission of neuropathic and inflammatory pain |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Analgesic (pain releiver) |
|
|
Term
| Describe the symptoms associated with Chronic Pain? |
|
Definition
| Deconditioning, changes in the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal activity, reduced production of endogenous opioids, decreased levels of enkephalins (neurotransmitters which block the transmittion of pain at the synapses of nerve fibers) |
|
|
Term
| Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs |
|
Definition
| Have both analgesic (pain releiver) and antiinflamatory properties. They block the release of prostaglandins |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Narcotic drugs which bind to opiate-specific receptors. They provide analgesia (pain relief) by mimicking the effects of endorphins and by inhibiting the release of presynaptic neurotransmitters. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Using to treat chronic pain. The efficacy of these drugs is thought to be related to their effects on sleep, nerve fuction and mood. |
|
|
Term
