          Abstract

          This article summarizes the content of a workshop on the Global Year Against Orofacial Pain, held in Montreal, Quebec in November 2013. Topics discussed during the workshop included biopsychosocial markers and pain signatures for chronic orofacial pain; misuse of pain medications for chronic orofacial pain; and the use of complementary medicine, topical agents and the role of stress in chronic orofacial pain.

          Abstract

          The year 2013–2014 has been designated the Global Year Against Orofacial Pain by the International Association for the Study of Pain. Accordingly, a multidisciplinary Canadian and international group of clinical, research and knowledge-transfer experts attended a workshop in Montreal, Quebec. The workshop had two aims: to identify new pathways for innovative diagnosis and management of chronic orofacial pain states; and to identify opportunities for further collaborative orofacial pain research and education in Canada.

          Three topics related to chronic orofacial pain were explored: biomarkers and pain signatures for chronic orofacial pain; misuse of analgesic and opioid pain medications for managing chronic orofacial pain; and complementary alternative medicine, topical agents and the role of stress in chronic orofacial pain.

          It was determined that further research is needed to: identify biomarkers of chronic orofacial post-traumatic neuropathic pain, with a focus on psychosocial, physiological and chemical-genetic factors; validate the short-and long-term safety (ie, no harm to health, and avoidance of misuse and addiction) of opioid use for two distinct conditions (acute and chronic orofacial pain, respectively); and promote the use of topical medications as an alternative treatment in dentistry, and further document the benefits and safety of complementary and alternative medicine, including stress management, in dentistry. It was proposed that burning mouth syndrome, a painful condition that is not uncommon and affects mainly postmenopausal women, should receive particular attention.

          Translated abstract

          L’Association nationale pour l’étude de la douleur a désigné 2013–2014 l’année mondiale contre la douleur orofaciale. Ainsi, un groupe multidisciplinaire canadien et international d’experts dans les secteurs de la clinique, de la recherche et du transfert du savoir a assisté à un atelier à Montréal, au Québec. Cet atelier avait deux objectifs : établir de nouvelles voies pour le diagnostic et la prise en charge novateurs des états de douleur orofaciale chronique et déterminer les occasions de recherche et de formation coopératives plus poussées sur la douleur orofaciale au Canada.

          Le groupe a exploré trois sujets liés à la douleur orofaciale chronique : biomarqueurs et signatures de la douleur en cas de douleur orofaciale chronique, mauvais usage des analgésiques et des opioïdes contre la douleur afin de prendre en charge la douleur orofaciale chronique et médecine complémentaire et parallèle, agents topiques et rôle du stress dans la douleur orofaciale chronique.

          Il a été établi que d’autres recherches s’imposent pour déterminer les biomarqueurs de la douleur orofaciale neuropathique post-traumatique chronique, en s’attardant sur les facteurs psychologiques, physiologiques et chimiques. Il faut également valider l’innocuité à court et à long terme (aucun danger pour la santé et évitement du mésusage et de la toxicomanie) des opioïdes dans deux états distincts (douleur orofaciale aiguë et chronique, respectivement). Enfin, il faut promouvoir l’utilisation des médicaments topiques comme autre traitement en dentisterie et attester des avantages et de l’innocuité des médicaments complémentaires et parallèles, y compris la gestion du stress, en dentisterie. On a proposé de porter une attention particulière à la stomatodynie, un trouble douloureux qui n’est pas rare et qui touche surtout les femmes postménopausées.

          Clinical guidelines for the use of chronic opioid therapy in chronic noncancer pain.

          Use of chronic opioid therapy for chronic noncancer pain has increased substantially. The American Pain Society and the American Academy of Pain Medicine commissioned a systematic review of the evidence on chronic opioid therapy for chronic noncancer pain and convened a multidisciplinary expert panel to review the evidence and formulate recommendations. Although evidence is limited, the expert panel concluded that chronic opioid therapy can be an effective therapy for carefully selected and monitored patients with chronic noncancer pain. However, opioids are also associated with potentially serious harms, including opioid-related adverse effects and outcomes related to the abuse potential of opioids. The recommendations presented in this document provide guidance on patient selection and risk stratification; informed consent and opioid management plans; initiation and titration of chronic opioid therapy; use of methadone; monitoring of patients on chronic opioid therapy; dose escalations, high-dose opioid therapy, opioid rotation, and indications for discontinuation of therapy; prevention and management of opioid-related adverse effects; driving and work safety; identifying a medical home and when to obtain consultation; management of breakthrough pain; chronic opioid therapy in pregnancy; and opioid-related policies. Safe and effective chronic opioid therapy for chronic noncancer pain requires clinical skills and knowledge in both the principles of opioid prescribing and on the assessment and management of risks associated with opioid abuse, addiction, and diversion. Although evidence is limited in many areas related to use of opioids for chronic noncancer pain, this guideline provides recommendations developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel after a systematic review of the evidence.

              Exercise Therapy for Fibromyalgia

              Fibromyalgia syndrome, a chronic condition typically characterized by widespread pain, nonrestorative sleep, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and other somatic symptoms, negatively impacts physical and emotional function and reduces quality of life. Exercise is commonly recommended in the management of people with fibromyalgia, and interest in examining exercise benefits for those with the syndrome has grown substantially over the past 25 years. Research supports aerobic and strength training to improve physical fitness and function, reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, and improve quality of life. However, other forms of exercise (e.g., tai chi, yoga, Nordic walking, vibration techniques) and lifestyle physical activity also have been investigated to determine their effects. This paper highlights findings from recent randomized controlled trials and reviews of exercise for people with fibromyalgia, and includes information regarding factors that influence response and adherence to exercise to assist clinicians with exercise and physical activity prescription decision-making to optimize health and well-being.
