Modern Medicine Has Developed A Pain Management Solution For Pain Control

Chronic pain is a tremendous public health problem, and a costly one. As health care advances and the need for palliative care rises, patients and health care providers are constantly investigating alternative methods of pain treatment and management. Questioning and challenging traditional health policies and practices has created a curiosity in the use of cannabis as an alternative option to standard opioids, for the management of chronic pain. Cannabis, is a leafy green plant consisting of buds and leaves of the cannabis sativa forma indica plants. Marijuana has been used in holistic solutions for hundreds of years; it has also been especially prevalent among terminally ill patients, who have been reported using it to alleviate symptoms like chronic pain, nausea and depression.

There are very few non pharmacological options when it comes to pain control for laboring women. This implementation plan will discuss the benefits of implementing the water birth as a mode of pain control. It will include details of the water labor protocol that is to be proposed, resources needed for the implementation, time frame, cost, instruments used, data collection methods, facilitators, and barriers to the protocol.

This article, Natural Childbirth doesn’t have to be a painful delivery written by Janelle green emphasizes that woman’s body is designed to birth babies and so, natural childbirth must be considered as a natural event. Natural childbirth (NCB) means laboring and delivering using no medication at all, rather depending on non-drug pain relief, such as hydrotherapy (using water in a shower or tub), massaging, breathing, visualization, meditation, position changes, and hypnosis. Moreover, non-drug pain relief methods are efficient due to these techniques interfere the sensory pathways to the brain that communicate pain, and also, this reducing catecholamines; so, can help the labor more calm and manageable. Experiencing labor pain doesn’t mean

Natural childbirth holds an iconic status within midwifery context as an opposition to the medicalization of childbirth. (10:394) It is widely emphasized that women are capable and their bodies intended for pregnancy and birth. (6:236) Although it is held as being emblematic, there is not one universally accepted definition of natural childbirth. (6:241, 10:394, 11:1084, 12: 267) In colloquial discussion, natural birth has, over time, become narrowly associated with a birth free from pharmacological or other interventions. (6:241, 10:394) This concept

For thousands of years women have been delivering babies naturally without pain medications. We have survived as a species for this long this way. We were designed to birth without pain medications, so why is it that today it is more common to use the drugs than to deliver naturally? In this essay I will discuss the different arguments for mothers to consider an all-natural birth experience.

Imagine having open heart surgery and having no pain medication to help with the healing process. Many would not go through the torture. There are many beneficial properties pain medication could manage starting by trusting our physicians opinion, understanding that the best scientist create pain medications that truly work and realizing that many terminal/ long-term illnesses can be made as comfortable as possible. When talking to a doctor about personal health issues, their professional knowledge and training provides a conclusion in the hypothesis or in simpler terms, whether or not to prescribe pain medication to their patients. While ultimately it is the patient’s decision to accept their doctor’s form of treatment, many people rely on

This is a study that focused on eighty-three women and examined the effects of cultural and educational influences on the pain in childbirth. The eighty-three women are divided into Middle-Eastern women and Western women. The women ranged in ages from nineteen to thirty-eight. There were thirty people from the Western group and that consisted of women whose mothers were born in Europe, the US or another English speaking country. There were fifty-three women from the Middle Eastern Group and that consisted of women whose mothers were born in Asia, North African or another Middle Eastern countries. The women were classified by the cultures but were also classified by their level education. Those who had twelve years or less of schooling were in the low education group. Those women who had more than twelve years of schooling were in the high education group. In the Western group sixty-six percent were in the high education group. While the Middle Eastern group only had thirty-three point nine percent in the high education group.

In the United States, pain is the most common reason for patients to seek medical attention. According to an Institute of Medicine report in 2011, at least 116 million people in the United States suffer from acute and chronic pain every year, including up to 80% of the elderly population, affecting more American adults than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined.1 The national annual economic cost associated with chronic pain is estimated to be $560-635 billion (or $2000 for each American), spent on medical treatment ($260-300b) and in lost productivity ($297-336b). In 2008, 14% of all federal Medicare expenditures are spent on pain management. Chronic pain is often associated with other co-morbidities such as

Pain Management is a medical approach that draws on disciplines in science and alternative healing to study the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pain. A recent study showed that 500,000 pregnant women in the United States found that 14% of women filled a prescription for an opioid at least once during the ante partum period and 6% of women received opioids throughout all trimesters. Opioids are drugs that act on the nervous system to relieve pain. This increases the use of narcotics during pregnancy for pain management for pregnant women. Between 1999 and 2010, death has increased fivefold for the pregnant women taking opioids pain relievers in the United States. This article talks about some pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches in managing painful conditions during pregnancy. It also mentions some treatments of conditions that may be present during pregnancy.

It should not take six months for the patient pain to be manage properly. The doctor and nurse neglect to be the patient advocate in this situation. I also agree the doctor actions and inactions were reportable to the State, not only the doctor but facility. There is a wide variety of medications that can be used to manage chronic pain such as corticosteroid, opioids, antidepressant and anticonvulsants that the doctor should have been

The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience arising from actual or potential tissue damage (1994). Pain is commonly categorized along a continuum of duration. Acute pain is associated with tissue damage, inflation, a surgical procedure, or a brief disease process. It usually lasts hours, days, or weeks. Chronic pain, in contrast, worsens and intensifies over time and persists for months, years, or a lifetime.

During my labor and delivery rotation at East Georgia Regional Medical Center, I was immediately introduced to my patient. A 41 year old Caucasian female who presented with labor on October 16, 2014 at 0020. Her GPTPAL profile is 12, 7, 7, 0, 4, 7 and the patient weighed 138.1 kg. Mom is allergic to Penicillin, Demerol, Compazine, Imitrex, and latex. At the time of my assessment, she had just reached 10cm of dilation and was beginning to push. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the aspects of my patient 's labor and delivery as compared to the normal stages of labor as described in our text, Maternal Child Nursing Care. This paper will also discuss a Natural Alternative and Complimentary (NAC) intervention that could have

Finlayson et al. (2015) explain that if women don’t receive adequate pain relief during labor, they can suffer from post-traumatic stress. The researchers found that there were inconsistencies in the findings of past research on complementary and alternative therapies (CAM’s), yet popularity in the use of hypnosis during labor climbed. Finlayson et al. (2015) researched the views and experiences of women due to this lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of antenatal self-hypnosis treatments.

As stated in the excerpt, alternatives to medicine can be used in natural childbirth. Some techniques involve coping with pain using social, physical and mental techniques. One of the most common natural childbirth methods is the Lamaze technique. This gives the mother knowledge of pain management through breathing techniques, massages, distractions and coaching throughout the delivery process. Although, Lamaze is common, it is not the only natural pain management method. Hypnosis, also known as Hypnobirthing, is another distraction technique used to divert the mother’s attention away from the pain during delivery. In this case, the mother and her partner substitute labor terms with their own vocabulary
