14 M.O.D.A. The Misuse Of Drugs Act Says what?

15 M.O.D.A. Section 24 of the Act prohibits prescribing a controlled drug to a person whom the prescriber believes to be dependent on that or any controlled drug, unless that prescriber: is a gazetted practitioner; or is working in a gazetted agency; or has an authority to prescribe for a particular patient.

16 M.O.D.A. Case #1 :morphine 50 mg bi d Case #2 : diazepam 5mg tds

17 Prescribed Controlled Drugs Opiates & Benzodiazepines

18 Prescription Opiates

19 Prescription Opiates Morphine, Methadone, Fentanyl, Oxycodone Codeine,DHC,panadeine,nurofen plus Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Norspan) Plus Tramadol you betcha

20 OPIATE Dependence All prescribed opiates can be addictive so TAKE CARE

21 OPIATE Dependence Tolerance & Withdrawal what else? DSM criteria :

22 OPIATE Dependence Tolerance & Withdrawal Dyscontrol Salience Craving Continued use despite adverse consequences

23 Opiates are prescribed for PAIN YEAH.NAH

24 Opiates are prescribed for PAIN Acute & short term : YEAH Longer term : NAH There are no longitudinal RCTs on the long term effectiveness & consequences of opioid use in chronic non malignant pain ( Prescription Opioid Policy, RACP / RACGP / RANZP )

25 Opiates for chronic pain : risks?

26 Opiates for chronic pain : risks Tolerance/hyperalgesia Mortality/overdoses No gains in pain/function

27 BOTTOM LINE Opiates are a dumb choice to treat chronic non malignant pain

28 Opiates are a dumb choice to treat chronic non malignant pain

29 Chronic Pain Management

30 Counselling / Education acceptance of pain, adjust & adapt thru self-management Incurable - like diabetes Change goal & expectation from being pain-free to taking the edge off it and promoting function / goals

31 Counselling / Education patient must address resentment and rejection of their damaged / new self Stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, frustration

32 Counselling / Education Illness Beliefs - I can't stand it / can't cope - No one believes me - I must be a bad person / punished - Im useless

33 Counselling / Education Cognitive Errors Catastrophising : interpret pain as damage / bad sign Nothing helps / no-one cares Fear Avoidance : stay at home in pain vs go out and watch a movie in pain Black and White thinking : one thing or opposite

34 Counselling / Education Passive recipient of relief- 'bystanders' in own treatment vs active participant in pain management

35 Counselling / Education Support team Pacing ( boom/bust) Relaxation/distraction Activity/exercise

36 Counselling / Education Chronic Pain
