About the Symposium
Statement of Need
In light of the federal government’s recognition of the national opioid epidemic and the release of the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, providers need to recognize and understand the importance of a multi-disciplinary and multi-modal approach to treating chronic pain.
Overview
The purpose of this activity is to increase physician knowledge regarding treating chronic pain patients. In order to provide the highest quality of patient care, physicians must know the tools and resources available in treating this complex patient population. Providers should understand the mechanisms and types of pain as well as become familiar with the classes of medications, physical modalities, and interventions utilized to treat chronic pain.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this educational activity, the participants should be better able to effectively:
- Discuss the essential neurophysiology and neuropharmacology as a basis for the selection of methods to medically manage chronic pain
- Discuss the use of complementary and alternative medicine for the management of multiple chronic pain conditions
- Distinguish between migraine and other types of headache to guide treatments with the appropriate pharmacotherapuetic intervention
- Discuss the burden of managing adults with low back pain in the United States within the context of the healthcare delivery system, economy and workforce
- Describe the contemporary issues regarding the role of select therapeutic interventions within the scope of physical therapy practice, including patient education, thermal modalities, electrotherapy, mechanical spinal traction, manual therapy, and exercise therapy in the management of adults with chronic low back pain complaints
- Define the components of monitoring practices in the use of controlled therapies for chronic pain including written consent, urine toxicology, and pharmacology monitoring as guided by new opioid prescribing laws and rules.
- Describe common methods of diversion and recognize red flags.
- Identify signs of addiction and appropriate treatment options utilizing community resources.
Predicted Outcomes
Predicted changes in practice as a result of participating in this activity may include the improved ability to:
- Utilize new legislation and safe prescribing practices to shape office policies for the treatment of chronic pain in primary care setting.
- Develop treatment plans incorporating multi-modal practices including physical therapy and complimentary medicine for the management of chronic pain states.
- Manage and treat painful states with medications based on neurophysiology and neuropharmacology principles previously discussed.
