1 Early intervention to prevent the development of long term disability post spinal surgery Catherine Ketsimur- Sanders BPhty, MSc (Pain) Pain Management Research Institute, University of Sydney Northern Private Pain Centre
2 Outline * Extent of ongoing pain and disability * Preoperative Factors and Management * Intraoperative Contributors * Postoperative Factors and Management
3 The extent of the problem * Generally 10% - 20% of patients after surgery * Spinal surgery shows higher rate of persistent post- surgical pain: 30-70% Hinrichs- Rocker et al., 2009 * e.g. discectomy 26% Parker et al., 2015 * Not sure if due to: * tissue and technique involved * length of surgery * reason for surgery * individual patient characteristics Kehlet et al., 2006
4 Pain is complex Tracey, 2008
5 When pain persists: Interacting contributors and effects Nerve damage; changes in central nervous system (Neuropathic or Neuroplastic Mechanisms, eg. Sensitization) REDUCED ACTIVITY UNHELPFUL BELIEFS & THOUGHTS PHYSICAL DETERIORATION (eg. muscle wasting, put on weight, joint stiffness) CHRONIC PAIN REPEATED TREATMENT FAILURES DEPRESSION, HELPLESSNESS, FRUSTRATION ANGER POOR SLEEP EXCESSIVE SUFFERING & DISABILITY Injury; Tissue Damage (Nociceptive Mechanisms) LONG-TERM USE OF ANALGESIC, SEDATIVE DRUGS SIDE EFFECTS (eg. stomach problems, lethargy, constipation) LOSS OF JOB, FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, FAMILY STRESS INPUT FROM: FAMILY; HEALTHCARE PROVIDER(S); COMMUNITY; EMPLOYER M.

9 Pre- operative risk factors * Pain, moderate to severe, lasting more than a month * Repeat surgery * Psychological vulnerability * Preoperative Anxiety * Female * Younger adults * Workers Compensation * Genetic predisposition * Inefficient Diffuse Noxious Inhibitory Control (DNIC) Schug 2011 * Pre- operative depression, chronic stress, psychological distress Hinrichs- Rocker et al 2009
10 Preoperative Management * Assess: * Presence of pre- existing pain (local and remote) * History: previous surgery, compensation/litigation * Functional consequences * Neurophysiologic assessment * Psychosocial assessment * Gene analysis* Kehlet and Rathmell 2010
11 Preoperative Management * Education re: * Surgery * Pain management e.g. PCA * Physical function e.g. log roll, rehab plan * Set goals * Helps to: * Reduce anxiety and stress * Increase postop adherence * Earlier DC * Increase satisfaction Papanastassiou et al 2011
12 Preoperative Management * Setting goals: SMART * Why are they having the surgery? * What would they like to be able to do/do better? * Tools: Goal sheets, Patient Specific Functional Scale
13 Total score = sum of the activity scores/number of activities Preoperative Management The Patient-Specific Functional Scale This useful questionnaire can be used to quantify activity limitation and measure functional outcome for patients with any orthopaedic condition. Clinician to read and fill in below: Complete at the end of the history and prior to physical examination. Initial Assessment: I am going to ask you to identify up to three important activities that you are unable to do or are having difficulty with as a result of your problem. Today, are there any activities that you are unable to do or having difficulty with because of your problem? (Clinician: show scale to patient and have the patient rate each activity). Follow-up Assessments: When I assessed you on (state previous assessment date), you told me that you had difficulty with (read all activities from list at a time). Today, do you still have difficulty with: (read and have patient score each item in the list)? Patient-specific activity scoring scheme (Point to one number): Unable to perform activity (Date and Score) Able to perform activity at the same level as before injury or problem Activity Additional Additional Initial Stratford et al, 1995
14 Intraoperative Contributors * Surgery itself and handling of nerves * Disease/reason for the surgery Kehlet and Rathmell 2010
15 Intraoperative Contributors * Intraoperative nerve damage: high risk factor for ongoing post- operative pain Werner and Khelet, 2010 * Nerve injury leads to Wallerian degeneration * effects on the injured nerve as well as neighboring uninjured nerves. Rotshenker, 2011 * Deep tissue dissection (not incision) appears important factor in the degree of post- operative pain Dorr et al 2007
16 Intraoperative Considerations * How this effects our intervention: Knowledge of surgery: Possible nerve involvement Extent of tissue dissection Awareness of inflammatory and immune contribution McMahon et al, 2005
17 Postoperative Risk Factors * Acute moderate to severe pain * Radiation therapy * Chemotherapy * Depression * Psychological vulnerability * Neuroticism * Anxiety Schug 2011
18 Postoperative Risk Factors * Medical conditions (multi- morbidity) affecting the immune system or endocrine system such as diabetes, chronic stress, or hypothyroidism may hinder recovery and contribute to maintenance of pain * Bulk of the evidence in orthopaedic surgery supports central nervous system changes including dorsal horn sensitization Nikolajsen et al., 2009, Harden et al., 2003
19 Postoperative Management * Assess: Early Postoperatively * Pain intensity and character * Pain treatment modality used * Neurophysiologic assessment * Later Postoperatively * Pain intensity and character * Neurophysiologic assessment * Psychosocial consequences * Function Kehlet and Rathmell 2010

22 Postoperative Management * Assess: * Pain: NRS, description/character (neuropathic element?) * Beliefs: * Pain harm normal post- op; however is management optimal? * Post- op instructions * Goals: review or set * Function: set baselines
23 Postoperative Management Why is it important to recognize a neuropathic component? * Neuropathic changes start immediately * Can lead to extensive neuroplastic changes * Poor prognosis if not recognized and addressed
24 Postoperative Management Neuropathic Pain * Pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system * Central or peripheral * Mechanisms: peripheral, spinal and supraspinal Neuroplastic * Changes in neurons: functionally, structurally or chemically * Mechanisms: peripheral, spinal and supraspinal IASP Taxonomy 2011
25 Postoperative Management * Neuropathic pain recognition Description Tool: LANSS, paindetect Sensory testing Jones and Backonja 2013
26 Mechanism based treatment considerations NOCICEPTIVE NEUROPATHIC COMPONENT Simple analgesics, NSAIDs, Opioids Physical therapies (encourage rehab and confidence in moving) Psychological therapies (education, attentional, thought management, exposure, mood/ reactivity/anxiety management) Neuropathic pain meds Less aggressive physical therapy (confidence v mechanism) (e.g. gradual pacing-up activities) Psychological therapies (education, attentional, thought management, exposure, mood/ reactivity/anxiety management)

28 Pain Management * Active coping strategies (doing things yourself) is more effective * An exercise routine, keeping as active as possible, using a relaxation technique to maintain sense of control or calmness * All better than waiting for next therapy session * Passive coping strategies (having things done to you) is associated with higher pain- related disability Blyth et al, 2005 Slide courtesy of Lois Tonkin
29 Postoperative Management * Goals * Graded Activity and pacing * Coping Strategies * Thought Challenging and Problem Solving * Medication management * Managing Flare- ups and setbacks
30 Goals
