Deans' stroke musings: Novel insights(Nope stupid insights) into stroke pain beliefs and perceptions

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.

Abstract:

Study examined the beliefs and perceptions of people with stroke who experience chronic pain and compare these to a non-stroke population with chronic pain. A total of 223 participants (106 with stroke and 117 non-stroke) with chronic pain completed an online survey of the Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory. Pain beliefs and perceptions, including perceived causes of pain, were compared across the two groups. The stroke group reported significantly higher pain intensities than the non-stroke group. In addition, they identified the stroke as the primary cause of their pain, whereas the non-stroke group identified a body injury as the primary cause. When compared to the non-stroke group, people with stroke were more likely to report their pain as being constant, demonstrate a lack of understanding regarding cause(s) of their pain, believe less that their actions contribute to their pain, and have greater belief that their pain is permanent. These findings emphasize differences in the beliefs and perceptions associated with pain after stroke, supporting the value of targeted attention from research and therapy perspectives. Significant differences in the pain experienced by stroke and non-stroke groups may reflect a poor understanding of chronic pain following stroke. Future educational programs for stroke survivors should be tailored. (Wrong, wrong, wrong, SOLVE THE PAIN PROBLEM YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, It is not going away thru education.)Targets for future educational interventions are identified and include causes of pain, an understanding of its behavior and potential for improved prognosis.
