Chronic Pain Conditions Successfully Classified Using Proposed ICD-11 Criteria
|
|
Researchers were successfully able to classify patients with chronic primary pain (CPP) and chronic secondary pain (CSP), using the proposed new classification criteria for chronic pain in the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11), according to results of a study published in the European Journal of Pain.
They also found that lay-led educational workshops may not be effective for improving pain management in these patients.

QUICK LINKS FOR ANNUAL MEETING

We often hear of physical therapy being used to help patients with rehabilitation, many times after a surgery or any traumatic experience. However, it’s hard for many people to think that physical therapy can actually be used to treat chronic pain as well. In fact, did you know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) actually recommends physical therapy and other non-drug options for chronic pain?
Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting more than 12 weeks and affects over 116 million Americans yearly. Even though the condition is often lumped into one category, it is important to keep in mind that chronic pain often varies greatly and can be treated in many different ways. As such, it’s common for patients to be put in multidisciplinary treatment programs.
While seeking for medical advice on treatment is important, there are also some key things to keep in mind.

Approximately one in seven Americans report recently experiencing severe headaches. In fact, in hospital settings, headaches and head pains together are the fourth most common reason for visits to the emergency department. Even if you have never had a headache severe enough to warrant a trip to the doctor’s office or receive a formal diagnosis, it is likely that you have experienced a lesser headache at least once in your life. What is the difference? How can we best manage the ensuing pain? In this article, we will take a brief look at the different kinds of headache and proven strategies for dealing with them.

Study on Cannabis Laws Revisited, Relationship to Reduced Opioid Deaths Does Not Hold Up
|
|
|
|
A group of researchers repeated a well-known 2014 study that purported to show a correlation between the relaxing of cannabis laws and a drop in opioid overdose deaths. When the original study—which spanned from 1999 to 2010—was modified to include data up until 2017, that trend reversed in the new study.

Join the AMA to help us keep our seat in the House of Delegates
The American Medical Association (AMA) requires all societies to requalify for membership in the AMA House of Delegates (HOD) every five years. In order for ASIPP to retain our seat, the AMA requires that 20% of ASIPP’s physician members also be members of the AMA. Unfortunately, ASIPP is at risk of losing representation in the AMA because we have fallen below the 20% membership minimum threshold.
Membership in the AMA gives us a voice in shaping policy that affects our practice and patients. We encourage you to join or renew your membership in the AMA. Joining the AMA will further strengthen our specialty’s representation at the national level through the AMA House of Delegates, the AMA’s policymaking body, and strengthen our ability to meet the challenges in health care today with thoughtful, well-organized responses.
We strongly encourage you to join the AMA today to help us keep our seat at the table.
Right now, you can
become a member
and pay only half the dues.
The stronger our membership, the more we can advance issues that are important to our specialty including improving the Medicare Quality Payment Program, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring accurate coding and reimbursement of our services.
Thank you for supporting ASIPP!
