“…We attribute this finding to the common use of non-opioid analgesics including NSAIDs, neuropathic agents, and physical therapy or massage for pain control. 7,[69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] We did find a significant association between 'admission diagnosis of chronic pain' and 'opioid receipt at discharge.' It was possible that the acute event leading to hospitalization exacerbated one's baseline chronic pain, necessitating the use of opioids for pain control at discharge.…”

Opioid Prescribing at Hospital Discharge Contributes to Chronic Opioid Use

BACKGROUND: Chronic opioid therapy for chronic pain treatment has increased. Hospital physicians, including hospitalists and medical/surgical resident physicians, care for many hospitalized patients, yet little is known about opioid prescribing at hospital discharge and future chronic opioid use. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to characterize opioid prescribing at hospital discharge among 'opioid naïve' patients. Opioid naïve patients had not filled an opioid prescription at an affiliated pharmacy 1 year preceding their hospital discharge. We also set out to quantify the risk of chronic opioid use and opioid refills 1 year post discharge among opioid naïve patients with and without opioid receipt at discharge. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: From 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011, 6,689 opioid naïve patients were discharged from a safety-net hospital. MAIN MEASURE: Chronic opioid use 1 year post discharge. KEY RESULTS: Twenty-five percent of opioid naïve patients (n=1,688) had opioid receipt within 72 hours of discharge. Patients with opioid receipt were more likely to have diagnoses including neoplasm (6.3 % versus 3.5 %, p<0.001), acute pain (2.7 % versus 1.0 %, p<0.001), chronic pain at admission (12.1 % versus 3.3 %, p<0.001) or surgery during their hospitalization (65.1 % versus 18.4 %, p<0.001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Patients with opioid receipt were less likely to have alcohol use disorders (15.7 % versus 20.7 %, p<0.001) and mental health disorders (23.9 % versus 31.4 %, p<0.001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Chronic opioid use 1 year post discharge was more common among patients with opioid receipt (4.1 % versus 1.3 %, p<0.0001) compared to patients without opioid receipt. Opioid receipt was associated with increased odds of chronic opioid use (AOR=4.90, 95 % CI 3.22-7.45) and greater subsequent opioid refills (AOR=2.67, 95 % CI 2.29-3.13) 1 year post discharge compared to no opioid receipt. CONCLUSION:Opioid receipt at hospital discharge among opioid naïve patients increased future chronic opioid use. Physicians should inform patients of this risk prior to prescribing opioids at discharge.

“…Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases globally, with high financial burden especially in industrialized countries where approximately 80 per cent of the population suffers from it at least once during their life [1][2][3]. Low back pain, after common cold, is the most widespread disease in human beings and the second cause of referring the physicians [3].…”

“…There are pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments proposed for this condition and, within these, massage is seen as a possible treatment (4)(5)(6)(7) , bringing benefits such as decreased pain and increased well-being (8) . It is also indicated in the joint clinical practice guideline from the American College of Physicians and American Pain Society (9) .…”

“…In a systematic review conducted in 2008 to update the 2000 review, which relates to massage and back pain, it was concluded in this new stage (8) that massage is beneficial for nonspecific low back pain, i.e. pain that is not due to disease, is subacute or chronic, and that also presents long term effects, for at least one year after the completion of the treatment.…”

This is a clinical trial which aims to evaluate the efficiency of massage in the reduction of occupational low back pain, and its influence on the performance of work and life activities for the nursing team. The sample consisted of 18 employees who received seven to eight sessions after their work period. From the Numerical Pain Rating Scale, significant improvements were found between the 3rd and 1st evaluations (p=0.000) and between the 3rd and 2nd (p=0.004), using the Wilcoxon test. Regarding the Oswestry Disability Index, the paired t test showed a statistical difference (p=0.02) between the baseline, with a mean of 21.33% and the second evaluation (18.78%), which was also seen between the second and third evaluation (16.67% Aplicación del masaje para lumbalgia ocupacional en empleados de EnfermeríaSe trata de ensayo clínico con el objetivo de verificar la eficiencia del masaje para apocar la lumbalgia ocupacional y su influencia en el desempeño de las actividades laborales y de vida, en el equipo de Enfermería.
