"I'm healthy, I don't have pain"- health screening participation and its association with chronic pain in a low socioeconomic status Singaporean population.
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic pain was associated with higher cardiovascular and cancer screening participation in the low-SES population. In low-SES populations with limited access to pain management services, chronic pain issues may surface during routine health screening. PMID: 28119769 [PubMed - in process]

Neurolytic transversus abdominal plane block with alcohol for long-term malignancy related pain control.
Abstract There have been several case reports in the literature of neurolytic transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks being used for malignant abdominal wall pain. However, most used phenol as a neurolytic agent. We found only a single case report by Sakamoto using alcohol for TAP neurolysis. Unfortunately this patient passed away only 5 days after performance of the block. We attempt to extend upon the existing literature by describing neurolytic TAP blockade outcomes using alcohol on 3 cancer patients with metastatic disease to the abdominal wall. Two of our 3 patients had colorectal cancer invading the abdomin...

Determinants of Pain Severity Changes in Ambulatory Patients With Cancer: An Analysis From Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Trial E2Z02 Health Services and Outcomes
Conclusion One third of patients have pain improvement and one fifth experience pain deterioration within 1 month after initial assessment. Inadequate pain management, baseline pain severity, and certain patient demographic and disease characteristics are associated with pain deterioration.

Colorectal Surgery Patients’ Pain Status, Activities, Satisfaction, and Beliefs about Pain and Pain Management
This study describes surgical colorectal cancer patients’ pain levels, recovery activities, beliefs and expectations about pain, and satisfaction with pain management. A convenience sample of 50 adult inpatients who underwent colorectal surgery for cancer participated. Patients were administered the modified American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire on postoperative day 2 and asked to report on their status in the preceding 24 hours. Patients reported low current (mean 1.70) and average (mean 2.96) pain scores but had higher scores and greater variation for worst pain (mean 5.48). Worst pain occurred mainly whi...

Effects of Hypovitaminosis D on Preoperative Pain Threshold and Perioperative Opioid Use in Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the study results, hypovitaminosis D is associated with increased perioperative opioid consumption in colorectal cancer surgery. Sensory perception and pain threshold of patients with insufficient 25 (OH) D3 concentration were more sensitive, and PET was lower. History of DM, vitamin D, and vitamin C may be factors related with SSI. Future studies are needed to investigate their relationship further and discover if postoperative pain and pain threshold can benefit from vitamin D supplementation in these patients.PMID:36288586

Frequency, Characteristics, and Correlates of Pain in a Pilot Study of Colorectal Cancer Survivors 1–10 Years Post‐Treatment
ConclusionsChronic pain is likely a burdensome problem for a small but not inconsequential minority of CRC survivors requiring a biopsychosocial treatment approach to improve recognition and treatment. Open dialogue between clinicians and survivors about physical and emotional symptoms in long‐term follow‐up is highly recommended.

(207) Oxaliplatin Depolarizes Isolectin B4-Negative Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons to Initiate Neuropathic Pain in Mouse
The objectives of this work were to study 1) effects of oxaliplatin on membrane excitability in Isoletcin B4-positive and –negative (IB4+ and IB4-) subpopulations of dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and 2) targeting oxaliplatin-induced membrane hyperexcitability to relief neuropathic pain.

Unremitting abdominal pain: obscure until the first CT
We present a patient with a clinical entity that deserves better recognition, first suspected by its typical imaging findings. The case A healthy elderly patient presented with several months’ history of diffuse abdominal pain of mild to moderate intensity becoming relentless with time with no associated weight loss, fever or anorexia. Examination, X-rays, laboratory tests, gastroscopy and colonoscopy were normal and no diagnosis was reached over several months. On admission, abdominal CT revealed lymphadenopathy (up to 3.0x1.5 cm) and mesenteric fat infiltration suggestive of sclerosing mesenteritis (SCM) (figu...

Is Race/Ethnicity Related to the Presence or Severity of Pain in Colorectal and Lung Cancer?
Developing interventions to address racial/ethnic cancer pain disparities requires exploration of the role of socioeconomic status, health status, and pain severity from the time of diagnosis.

Optimizing Acute Pain Management in the Obese Patient: Treatment and Monitoring Considerations
THE CHALLENGES OF PROVIDING SAFE AND EFFECTIVE pain management for patients with obesity are present throughout the perioperative setting. Obesity is associated with chronic medical comorbidities, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes.1 Other obesity-associated comorbidities include breast, endometrial, ovarian, colorectal, esophageal, kidney, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, chronic back pain, and osteoarthritis.1 The demand for bariatric surgery has risen markedly in recent years with the total number of surgeries performed in the United St...

Palliative radiotherapy produced spectacular improvement in a terminally ill colorectal carcinoma patient with severe pain and duodenal bleeding
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a devastating effect on the quality of life, and the treatment of active intestinal bleeding in CRC is a real challenge at the end of life. This case report presents a spectacular effect of an unusual palliative treatment strategy in a middle-aged home hospice patient with severe pain and persistent duodenal bleeding secondary to its neoplastic infiltration. Palliative radiotherapy (RT) significantly improved pain control, terminated the duodenal bleeding, and allowed successful treatment of deep vein thrombosis, previously impossible due to the bleeding.

Neuronal Dysfunction Associated with Colorectal Cancer Augments Sensitivity to Chemotherapy-induced Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a common and debilitating side effect of many cancer treatments. The platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin is widely used in treatment regimens for colorectal cancer, but its side effects (including numbness, tingling or sharp, stabbing, 'electrical' pain) are so severe as to become dose limiting in a subset of patients. We set out to determine if the systemic immune system alterations in colon cancer could influence subsequent sensitivity to oxaliplatin therapy. Using two orthotopic mouse models of colon cancer, we perform immunohistochemistry, behavioral analysis, functional calcium imagin...

Unresolved Pain Interference among Colorectal Cancer Survivors: Implications for Patient Care and Outcomes
ConclusionAlmost half of survivors with PI during the initial phase of care had continued PI into post‐treatment. Comorbidities, especially cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, contributed to continued PI. PI may be related to continuing normal activities, that is, work, after completed treatment. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
