Malignant Pain
When I graduated from medical school over 30 years ago, I never promised
to cure anyone, but I did promise to relieve pain and allay suffering.
What is Malignant Pain?
What is Malignant Pain?
• Pain caused by the cancer itself
What is Malignant Pain?
• Pain caused by the cancer itself
• What will not be discussed?
What is Malignant Pain?
• Pain caused by the cancer itself
• What will not be discussed?
• Post-Surgical Pain
• Radiation Neuritis
• Post-Chemotherapy Pain
• Pain in Cancer Survivors
Pain Sub Types
• Nociceptive Pain
– Bone Metastases
• Neuropathic Pain
– Nerve Root Invasion
– Spinal Cord Invasion
– Brachial or Lumbar Plexus Invasion
• Visceral Pain
– Pancreatic Cancer Involving Celiac Plexus
What is IDDS?
•
•
•
•
Intrathecal Drug Delivery Systems
Direct Administration of Drugs to Spinal Cord
Fully Implantable Therapies
Programmable vs. Non-Programmable
Why IDDS?
• Potency
– Multiple Spinal Receptors
•
•
•
•
•
Opiate Receptors
Sodium Channels
Calcium Channels
Adrenergic Receptors
NMDA Receptors
Why IDDS?
• Side Effects
Systemic Opiates
Spinal Opiates/Drugs
Decreased LOC
Pruritis
Depression
Respiratory Depression
Decreased Gag Reflex
Pulmonary Aspiration
Decreased Appetite
Nausea & Vomiting

Intrathecal Drug Mixtures
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

•
Simple Continuous – for baseline pain
Bolus Delivery – for sudden adjustments
Flex Mode – Multiple Programmable Steps
PTM – Intrathecal PCA, with all the bells & whistles
– Therapy modeled after intravenous & epidural PCA
– Advantages
» Better Pain Control
» Lower Total Dose of Medication
» Fewer Side Effects
PCA Basics
Bolus – an instantaneous injection of drug to suddenly initiate therapy or to increase
steady state levels.
PCA Basics
Bolus – an instantaneous injection of drug to suddenly initiate therapy or to increase
steady state levels.
Continuous Infusion – the normal rate of infusion of the drug. This determines the
steady state level of the drug and thereby the effectiveness of therapy.

Continuous Infusion – the normal rate of infusion of the drug. This determines the

PCA Dose – the patient controlled analgesia dose. This is the amount that the patient
can administer at any one time.

PCA Dose – the patient controlled analgesia dose. This is the amount that the patient
can administer at any one time.
Lockout Interval – the minimum time between allowable PCA doses. The larger the
lockout interval the lower the risk of overdose and the higher the risk of
underdose.

Maximum Daily PCA Dose – the maximum number of times that the patient can give
themselves a PCA dose. Again the lower the maximum dose, the lower the risk
of overdose, but the higher the risk of underdose.

Maximum Periodic PCA Dose – this allows the physician to set the maximum number
of doses for a 2, 4, 8 or 12 hour period. This is most useful to allow a greater
number of daytime as opposed to nighttime injections.
