Overview
21% of U.S. adults have chronic pain and 8% have high-impact chronic pain. New cases of chronic pain occur more often among U.S. adults than new cases of several other common chronic conditions. Individuals with severe pain have worse health, use more health care, and have more disability than those with less severe pain. Many chronic pain sufferers rely on opioids to manage their pain and contribute to the opioid addiction crisis. There are many pharmacologic approaches that can be used to treat chronic pain. Additionally, a growing body of evidence suggests that complementary approaches, such as acupuncture, hypnosis, massage, spinal manipulation, and yoga, may be useful to manage pain. This presentation will explore the background of chronic pain and the non-opioid pharmacological and integrative alternatives available to treat it.
Objectives - Understand the background on chronic pain and opioid abuse in the US.
- Explore the various non-opioid pharmacological options and integrative health modalities that have been found to be effective for the treatment of chronic pain.
- Apply non-opioid pharmacological and integrative health alternatives to case scenarios.
- Appreciate the role of the Nurse Practitioner in providing non-opioid pharmacological and integrative care to chronic pain patients.
