A Comprehensive Tool Like No Other
I developed the PreEmpt Pain TM app to put the basic tools pain physicians use into the hands of all providers who care for children or adults. Many pain physicians have their own systematic approach to pain management. However, these skills are not necessarily taught to non-pain providers during medical education nor residency.
Research continues to demonstrate that pain is under-recognized and under-treated (Kozlowski). We know of the strategies that are beneficial for acute pain but it is difficult to translate those strategies into clinical practice for a variety of reasons: the subjective nature of pain scores, scrutiny of opioid prescribing, challenges with patient satisfaction scores, and the lack of time are some examples, And it is difficult to communicate with patients about their pain when there is so much uncertainty.
But we CAN do better. I believe that pain should be approached in a systematic manner, based on the expected intensity of pain related to a surgical procedure, medical condition, or physical trauma. Providers should have access to a tool that prompts them to consider the aspects of the pain experience that can be modified with the proper attention.
