3 So, how do we treat the individual pain patient in front of us? Hmhh... Spoiler Alert: Crystal-clear answer on 3rd last slide! Case Example: Chronic-on-acute pain Roman (11-years old) Nov March 2015 Single left-ventricle, status post 3 palliative surgeries Protein-loosing enteropathy (PLE) Significant constant wandering pain everywhere (pain score VAS 8-10/10), plus chronic headache plus recurrent severe abdominal pain Missed > 40 days of school Deconditioned Integrative Pain Management State of the art pain management in the 21st century demands that pharmacological management must be combined with supportive and integrative, nonpharmacological therapies to manage a child's pain. Physical methods (e.g. cuddle/hug, massage, comfort positioning, heat, cold, TENS) Cognitive behavioral techniques (e.g. guided imagery, hypnosis, abdominal breathing, distraction, biofeedback) Acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy

Feb :jn Distraction significantly increased activation of cingulo-frontal cortex including orbitofrontal & perigenual anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), as well as periaquaeductal gray (PAG) & the posterior thalamus. Active distraction techniques, such as imagery, appear to modulate endorphine release in the midbrain, including the periaqueductal grey and thereby increase activity of descending inhibiting pathways thereby decreasing nociception from the dorsal horn resulting in gate pain modulation during distraction.

Magic or put under a spell Revelation of secrets Not being de-hypnotised Phenomena of Hypnosis Relaxation Increased Suggestibility Dissociation Anesthesia Ideomotor responses Post-hypnotic suggestion Self-hypnosis When is Hypnosis Indicated? Child is responsive to hypnotic induction A problem is treatable using hypnosis The parents are agreeable to treatment No harm is anticipated using hypnosis Competent Therapist Good rapport between child and therapist Child is motivated to solve the problem

10 When is Hypnosis Contraindicated? Used for fun or entertainment Risking aggravation of emotional problems Hypnotherapy based on misdiagnosis Medical diagnosis and treatment takes precedence Child who is actively psychotic Another form of treatment is indicated Clinical Problems Responding to Hypnosis Acute and Chronic/ Complex Pain Palliative Care Anxiety Habit disorders Dermatological Problems Asthma Enuresis and Encopresis Childhood Hypnotic Responsiveness Age Imaginative involvement Trust in therapist (rapport) Misconceptions child s and parents

15 Withholding evidence-based analgesia to children in pain is not only unethical, but causes immediate and long-term harm Effective & safe integrative modalities can be easily taught and integrated into clinical practice Distraction, massage, aromatherapy, biofeedback, selfhypnosis appear to be highly effective in therapy of acute and chronic pain Conclusions Use multimodal (opioid-sparing) analgesia: Multiple agents, interventions, rehabilitation, psychological and integrative therapies act synergistically for more effective pediatric pain control with fewer side effects than single analgesic or modality Further Links The New York Times (June 28, 2016) Why Aren t We Managing Children s Pain?
