A Collaborative Approach to Pain: Working with Your Patients to Reach an Informed Pain Management Plan

To effectively and safely manage this patient population, individualized, multimodal, and multidisciplinary care is imperative, with risk assessment being critical to providing the best possible patient-cen... |

Are You Seeing the Whole Picture?: Assessing Pain and the Multitude of Factors that Influence Pain Perception
In July 2012, the FDA approved the Extended-Release and Long-Acting (ER/LA) Opioid Analgesic Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to ensure that the benefits of ER and LA opioid analgesics used in the outpatient setting outweigh the risks. The REMS initiative was eventually modified to include immediate-release (IR) opioids in order to support the national efforts to address the misuse and abuse of prescription opioid analgesics.

Breaking the Ice: Talking to Your Patients About Naloxone
Due to the considerable number of risk factors for overdose in patients with OUD or those on high dose opioids for chronic pain, it is imperative that health care professionals (HCPs) are familiar with the use of naloxone and its availability. Naloxone products for home use by patients or caregivers can reduce the risk of overdose deaths in both patients and household contacts; therefore, it is imperative that HCPs educate patients who are at risk for overdose on its role and means of administ... |

Opioid Red Flags: Examining the Options and Taking the Next Steps
With the impact of the opioid crisis prompting changes in how health care providers (HCPs) treat patients with acute and chronic pain, it has become imperative for HCPs to effectively identify risk factors and clinical presentation of opioid use disorder (OUD). Additionally, clinicians also need to be aware of the underlying neurobiology of addiction and available treatment options.
The final episode of this CME Outfitters Briefcase series focuses on identifying the red flags of OUD and bes... |

Are You Seeing the Big Picture?: A Multimodal Approach to the Management of Pain
Comprehensive patient-centered approaches to opioid therapy, such as integrating non-pharmacologic interventions, can mitigate risks for abuse and diversion of medication. It is imperative that clinicians determine the need for opioids, as they are not first-line or routine therapy for chronic pain, as well as select the appropriate type, dosage, and duration of therapy. To minimize risk of opioid use disorder (OUD) clinicians need to discuss with their patients the importance of opioid taperi... |

Conducting an ePain Assessment: Asking the Right Questions, Using the Best Tools
Pain is much more than nociception. It is influenced by a number of psychological and social factors; therefore, it is imperative that physical, functional, and psychosocial assessment tools are used when evaluating pain, whether in person or conducted remotely via Telehealth. These tools include the GAD-7, PHQ-9, pain catastrophizing and opioid risk tools, unimodal pain scales, as well as common pain intensity scales such as the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS), and F... |

What Should They Expect? Making Time to Talk to Patients About Pain Before Their Dental Procedure
Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and acceptability of reduction or the total elimination of opioids after discharge from minor surgery, with most patients who underwent a dental procedure or oral surgery reporting low pain scores. Written, oral, and visual patient education has been shown to minimize the need for narcotic analgesia after procedures or surgery, with 90% of patients who received preoperative education declining an opioid prescription.

Getting a Head Start on Pain: Simple Changes to Your Pre-Procedure Workflow for Assessing Misuse and Diversion of Opioids
An adolescent or young adult's first exposure to opioids often occurs following a third molar extraction, and even though 85%-90% of these patients find the experience unpleasant due to side effects, up to 15% are at risk for misuse, abuse, and addiction. To mitigate risk of opioid dependency it is imperative that dentists and oral surgeons are aware of the patients medical history, engage in pre- and postoperative discussions about pain and pain management expectations, discuss the risks and ... |

Rethinking Standing Orders for Opioids to Manage Pain in Adolescents and Young Adults Requiring Third Molar Extraction
It has long been a habit of dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons to prescribe narcotics following surgeries such as third molar extraction, with many prescribing as many as 20-30 tablets. A recent study of 105 patients who underwent third molar extraction saw 8 surgeons prescribing 1,773 opioid units, with only 38.4% of those units being consumed during the study period. As dental postsurgical pain is mainly driven by inflammation, NSAIDs are an effective non-opioid alternative to trea... |
