“…Aspectos como perdão, experiências espirituais diárias, suporte religioso e autopercepção de religiosidade predisseram significativamente o estado de saúde mental dos pacientes (Rippentrop et al, 2005). Sundblom et al (1994) estudaram por um período de um ano e meio o efeito da cura espiritual em 24 pacientes com síndromes dolorosas crônicas na Finlândia, encaminhados a tratamento espiritual ou a nenhum tratamento. Observaram que houve discreta redução no consumo de analgésicos, melhora na qualidade do sono e que metade (seis pacientes) sentiu alívio após o tratamento.…”

“…O bem-estar físico e o emocional, assim como as relações sociais, familiares e de trabalho, são extremamente afetados (Sorajjakool et al, 2006;Smith et al, 2001). A experiência da dor é mais bem entendida se uma construção multidimensional, incluindo aspectos físi-cos, biológicos, sociais, psicológicos e espirituais, for considerada (Davis et al, 2003).…”

A importância da integração da espiritualidade e da religiosidade no manejo da dor e dos cuidados paliativos ResumoContexto: Dor é um dos sintomas físicos mais freqüentemente relatados por pacientes, causando importante redução na qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Pacientes com dor crônica são difíceis de tratar. Objetivo: Descrever estratégias atuais de abordagem de pacientes com dores crônicas, baseadas na literatura científica, enfatizando medidas relacionadas à espiritualidade e à religiosidade. Método: A presente revisão utilizou-se das atuais estratégias de manejo para pacientes com dor crônica combinadas a medidas medicamentosas e não-medicamentosas, estas geralmente incorporando medidas voltadas ao bem-estar físico, mental, social e espiritual com base em publicações indexadas pelo Medline. Resultados: Muitos estudos demonstram associação positiva entre espiritualidade e religiosidade e melhora em variáveis e marcadores de doenças crônicas. Conclusão: Pelo fato de a religiosidade e a espiritualidade serem marcadamente relacionadas com a melhora clínica dos pacientes, é importante que o reconhecimento desses aspectos e a integração no manejo dos pacientes com dor crônica sejam conduzidos por profissionais da área de saúde.Peres, M.F.P. et al. / Rev. Psiq. Clín. 34, supl 1; 82-87, 2007 Palavras-chave: Dor crônica, manejo, cefaléias, espiritualidade. AbstractBackground: Pain is one of the most common physical complaints which negatively affects the patient's quality of life. Patients with chronic pain are difficult and often frustrating to treat. Objective: To describe the current strategies for approaching patients with chronic pain based on scientific literature, emphasizing measures related to spirituality and religiosity. Method: For the present work, authors reviewed data supporting the application of clinical procedures regarding to chronic pain and palliative care with the importance of spirituality background incorporation based on indexed Medline data. Results: Many studies have demonstrated a positive association between spirituality and religiosity and improvement of chronic diseases' variables and markers. Conclusion: As religiosity and spirituality are notoriously related to the patient's clinical improvement, it is highly important that the recognition of these aspects and their incorporation in the management of patients with chronic pain be conducted by health professionals.

“…When pain became chronic, addictions became worse. This finding also occurred in another study where the study participants found that treating their pain with opioids reactivated their former addiction to alcohol or marijuana and expanded their addiction to prescription opioids (Sorajjakool et al, 2006). This study and the Sorajjakool et al (2006) study support the possibility that some individuals treated for pain with opioids may experience an activation of a previous addiction.…”

“…In another qualitative study, some participants had a desire to rid themselves of pain with opioids, created a reactivation of their former addiction to alcohol or marijuana, and expanded their use to include prescription opioids (Sorajjakool, Aveling, Thompson, & Earl, 2006). These qualitative studies illustrate the problem of managing pain for those with a coexisting addiction.…”

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the narratives of people who experience chronic pain (lasting 6 months or more) and were receiving methadone for the treatment of their opiate addiction through a major methadone clinic. This paper featured the pathway of how the participants developed chronic pain and addiction, and their beliefs of how prescription opioids would impact their addiction in the future. Thirty-four participants who experienced chronic pain and received methadone for treatment of opiate addiction were willing to tell the story of their experiences. The findings in three areas are presented: (a) whether participants experienced addiction first or pain first and how their exposures to addictive substances influenced their experiences, (b) the significance of recreational drug use and patterns of abuse behaviors leading to chronic pain, and (c) participants’ experiences and beliefs about the potential for abuse of prescription opioid used for treatment of pain.
