Deans' stroke musings: Implementing a pain assessment survey and team approach method to effectively assess and treat pain in poststroke patients

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Implementing a pain assessment survey and team approach method to effectively assess and treat pain in poststroke patients

Oh well, more wasted research; 'assessment' NOT recovery or results. NO SOLUTIONS.

Study created a pain assessment survey to effectively evaluate and treat pain in stroke patients in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The study was conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 was a preintervention study conducted to assess the prevalence of poststroke pain (PSP) using a pain assessment survey. The correlation between the presence of pain and poststroke patients was assessed, and an enhanced pain assessment was created and implemented in the admission process of poststroke patients. This helped comprise part of the second portion of the study, the postintervention study. Eighty-two patients were included in the preintervention survey, and 102 patients were included in the postintervention survey. Patients with complaints of PSP were intervened immediately upon admission using a team approach. This included all personnel involved in the patient’s care to resolve pain before discharge. Different types of medications and non-medical modalities were used for pain control. The preintervention survey revealed a pain prevalence of 31.7 percent, whereas the postintervention study showed a prevalence of 11.8 percent in poststroke patients on admission. The odds that a poststroke patient would be discharged without pain and with a proper pain assessment and management was 96.2. The team approach to pain management resulted in all patients being successfully treated and discharged pain free. This further demonstrates the importance of using both a pain assessment survey and team approach to assess PSP in poststroke patients.
