NURS 660 EXAM 3 | NEWEST UPDATED ACTUAL |
VERIFIED ANSWERS AND COMPLETE EXAM PREP
• Define allodynia pain -✓✓ANSWER: (central disturbance in pain processing) pain
due to a stimulus that dos not normally provoke pain
• Define hyperalgesia -✓✓ANSWER: increased pain from a stimulus that normally
provokes pain (central disturbance in pain processing)
• Define nociceptive pain -✓✓ANSWER: pain that arises from inflammation or
damage in tissues; due to the activation of nociceptors
• Define neuropathic pain -✓✓ANSWER: damage to or dysfunction of peripheral
nerves; somatosensory nervous system
• Define Central Sensitization -✓✓ANSWER: Increased responsiveness of
nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to their normal or
subthreshold afferent input.
• examples of peripheral nociceptive pain -✓✓ANSWER: osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, cancer pain
• examples of peripheral pain -✓✓ANSWER: diabetic neuropathic pain,
postherpetic neuralgia
• examples of central sensitization/neuropathic pain -✓✓ANSWER: fibromyalgia,
IBS, TMJD, tension headache
, • Explain combination of peripheral and central mechanisms -✓✓ANSWER:
involvement of both inflammatory or mechanical damage to the tissues along
with dysfunction central pain processing
• Treatment for central sensitization/neuropathic pain -✓✓ANSWER: neuroactive
compounds that alter levels of neurotransmitters involved in pain transmission,
exercise and CBT
• Classic examples of combination of peripheral and central mechanisms -
✓✓ANSWER: low back pain, rheumatologic diseases that develop into comorbid
fibromyalgia
• Neurotransmitters that modulate pain processing in the spinal cord -
✓✓ANSWER: norepinephrine and serotonin
• Treatment for peripheral nociceptive pain, peripherally and centrally -
✓✓ANSWER: peripherally NSAIDS, centrally opioids and procedures
• Examples of central neuropathic pain or central sensitization -✓✓ANSWER:
fibromyalgia, IBS, TMJD, tension headache
• Dominant NT in pain modulation -✓✓ANSWER: serotonin, GABA and
norepinephrine
• Start of normal pain process -✓✓ANSWER: sensory input detected by
nociceptors
