Pain Management & OTPF
• Preoccupation with pain affects every area of the OTPF, thus hindering client from further pursuing occupations• Areas of occupation: ADLs, rest and sleep• Client factors: Body function• Context & Environment: Virtual reality
• Relief from preoccupation with condition and pain• Aim is to be less burdened by pain • Focus on other aspects of life that they would like to
participate in

Biopsychosocial Frame of Reference
• Biological: how illness stemmed• Psychological: thoughts, emotions, behaviors that can
influence negativity • Social factors: SES, culture, religion, technology are
intertwined and play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness
• BPS utilized within OT scope of practice when treating burn patients• Validates client’s pain, promotes linkage with environment,
includes family and workplace, and views client holistically (Moon, McDonald, & Van den Dolder, 2012)
![Page 5: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PharmacologicalNot within OT scope of practice, but should be familiar with different interventions • Opiod analgesics (primary; oral or IV): low cost,
familiar, manageable, convenient, efficient, potent• Non-opiod analgesics: ex. NSAID’s, acetaminophen.
Low cost, familiar• Anxiolytics: provided for patients who have high
anxiety or high baseline scores for pain• Anesthesia: should only be used for limited
duration; general anesthesia over long periods of time is costly
![Page 6: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Non-pharmacological• OTs can implement these as long as client wants to participate• Diversion: rooted in the anatomy and physiology of attention
and perception of pain; designed to distance patient away from the source of pain • Distraction: additional stimuli, i.e. Music, movies, conversation• Imagery: visualization or and relaxing imagery
![Page 7: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Non-pharmacological (cont’d)• Virtual Reality: costly, requires
OT to be familiar and have knowledge• Immersing patients in
computer-generated environment
• Allow patient to interact in a new place, diverting attention away from pain
• SnowWorld: game designed for burn patients; patient is in an ice world and they shoot snowballs at different targets
![Page 8: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Non-pharmacological (cont’d)Hypnosis: extensive training and costly• Used prior/after wound care• Alters client’s state of consciousness, allows for perception of pain
to be altered• Requires more planning, well-controlled environment, and strong
client-therapist rapport
Relaxation techniques• No-cost• Transferable• Lower arousal and muscle tension, which can heighten pain• Diaphragmatic breathing: chest breathing• Progressive muscle relaxation: alternately tensing and relaxing a
series of muscles
![Page 9: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Practical Considerations
Pharmacological interventions• More costly (especially anesthesia)• Insurance companies may not reimburse everything• Requires attention from doctors• Not in the scope of OT
Non-pharmacological• Easier to learn and teach• Easier for client to do independently as they heal• No/low cost (except for virtual reality & hypnosis)• Client-centered
![Page 10: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Client/Caregiver Training & Education
Pharmacological• OT can only be aware of the type of interventions
the client is using and help to track progress/side effects of client• OT can help educate client/family on side effects of
medication
Non-pharmacological• OT can educate client and family on benefits of
techniques and emphasize the fact that many of these can be done independently
![Page 11: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Precautions & Contraindications
Pharmacological• Allergies• Client’s personal beliefs or choices• Oral consumption or IV
Non-pharmacological• Client-centered
![Page 12: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Range of Motion (ROM)
![Page 13: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ROM and the OTPF
ROM will improve all domains of occupational engagement• Areas of occupation: ADLs, etc.• Client factors: Body function• Performance skills: Motor & Praxis
![Page 14: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Positive Effects of ROM• Increasing ROM improves functional capacities• Increased independence with ADLs• Prevent or lessen potential contractures• Educates client to become proactive
![Page 15: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Biomechanical Frame of Reference• Biomechanical: remediation or improvements in strength,
ROM, or endurance• ROM exercises stretch tissues including skin, fascia, and
muscles to increase the client’s range of motion
![Page 16: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Timing of TreatmentAcute phase:
• Medical clearance for ROM exercises is usually 4-5 days post-op• Perform during dressing change to see condition of wound and graft
status- clients may have multiple surgeries, so it’s important to assess current status
• May be done on a client in a coma or under conscious sedation• Time with pain medication for increased tolerance
Rehabilitation Phase: Therapy is more occupation-based, such as placing groceries on a high shelf
• Will need to carefully document progress for reimbursement
![Page 17: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Methods to Increase ROM• Passive stretching: for a weak or unconscious client• Active-assist stretching: increase ROM while engaging the client’s
strength• Active stretching: client does movement independently• Functional ROM:
• In the acute phase, brushing hair and eating can be done in bed• More stable clients can perform hygiene at the sink and work on
dressing• Rehabilitation phase can incorporate more occupation-based
activities like placing groceries on a high shelf
![Page 18: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Performing ROM Stretches• Knowledge of joint anatomy and biomechanics• Materials: gloves, possibly a gown and face mask• How far to passively stretch? Watch for whitening of tissue
• Motion will depend on the location and severity of the burn
![Page 19: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Client/ Caregiver Education• Self-exercise: • instruct client on exercises they can safely do independently • Post handouts provide pictures and instructions in a noticeable
location to increase adherence• Inform the client, family, and caretakers of the importance of
exercises to increase ROM and prevent contractures
![Page 20: Burn Interventions Elisa Dick & Jessica Fong OCCT 630 May 2, 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759d0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Important Considerations
• Contraindications• Grafting post-op • Fractures• Dislocated joints• Ruptured tendons or ligaments• Unstable vital signs
• Consider the client’s health and mental status • Inhalation injuries will decrease aerobic capacity and can make
vitals unstable• Pain tolerance: time therapy with medications
