痛みの管理 ~痛みの管理法についての追跡調査~


Managing Pain

 

15:20-16:47

 

And then, this is a subsequent study, follow-up study that I completed with my colleagues at Johns Hopkins where it was a smaller survey of only 218 people, but essentially individuals did say that if you look at the percentages, most people were more likely to have tried different type of pain managements and had tried more treatment strategies than they're currently using.

こちらの研究は先程の研究の後に行われた追跡調査で、ジョンズ・ホプキンス病院の同僚らと行いました。被験者は218名と少ないのですが、これらのパーセンテージからわかるように、大部分の方は様々な痛みの管理方法を実践しており、過去にも様々な方法を試しています。

 

And in terms of the most common treatments, again over-the-counter treatments for the most common, currently reported at the time that people completed this survey by about almost over 50% of the population. Opioids were also very common as well as kind of non-opioid pain medications. Physical therapy is something that over half of people had tried at some point and only just less than 20% are currently using at the time they completed the survey.

最も多いのが市販薬による治療で、50%を超えています。オピオイドも、非オピオイド(処方箋)と同様に非常によく使われていました。理学療法は過去に半数を超える方が行っていましたが、現在は20%未満です。

 

Now complementary and alternative medications (CAM) have also been tried in about 37% of the population at some point, which is kind of consistent with the overall population at least in the United States.

過去に代替療法を行っていた方は37%ほどですが、この数値は、少なくとも米国の一般集団と同じくらいです。

 

And then finally, you can see that kind of, again those non-pharmacological interventions, whether it would be having a psychologist or occupational therapist or some type of procedure like a steroid injection or some type of spinal cord stimulator were used less frequently than any medications.

最後ですが、非薬物療法も行われています。精神科を受診したり、作業療法士にかかる、あるいは、ステロイド注射や脊髄刺激などですが、薬物療法よりも頻度は高くありませんでした。
