Transmitters in pain control system include all the following, except :-a- serotoninb- acetylcholinec- enkephalind- norepinephrine
List several factors that can alter the perception ofpain and the response to pain.
examples are of pain blocking drugs are ketamine and propofol. Ketamine decreases the function of NMDA receptors and propofol increases the function of GABA receptors. Why do you both of these drugs block pain, when they have opposite effects on the receptors they bind to?
outline the neurochemical transmission and inhibition of pain. Then using the gate-control theory, devise a plan to minimize pain during your next visit to the dentist. Why is this important for you to know in public health
List the four substances in the body that facilitate pain transmission.
Outline the neurochemical transmission and inhibition of pain. Then using the gate-control theory, devise a plan to minimize pain during your next visit to the dentist.
Overprescription of opiates for medical management of pain has been blamed in part for the current epidemic. What do you think about public policy, pain management, and opiate drugs?
Present the comparison of neuromuscular blocking drugs and local anesthetics. What is a rationale to use them for pain control? How they affect impulse conduction and muscle contraction?
Which options are true regarding the gate control theory of pain? Select all that apply: a. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse directly onto nociceptor fibres and potentiate incoming pain signals b. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse onto interneurons, which synapse onto nociceptor fibres and potentiate incoming pain signals c. Applying a mechanical stimulus, such as grabbing the injured area, will soothe the injury d. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse directly onto nociceptor fibres and inhibit incoming pain signals e. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse onto interneurons, which synapse onto nociceptor fibres and inhibit incoming pain signals f. Applying a mechanical stimulus, such as grabbing the injured area, is a natural defensive reaction, but does little to actually affect incoming pain signals.
Which of the following is associated with pain relief? a. acetylcholine c. serotonin b. glutamate d. endorphins
Pain sensation :-a- is evoked by strong stimulation of specific receptorsb- produces reactions that block transmission of pain impulsesc- arises from small encapsulated receptorsd- occurs when the stimulus causes damage of the sensory receptors
Contrast the pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management of acute and chronic pain with the management of pain associated with cancer and pain experienced in terminal conditions
