痛みの管理 ~使われる薬~


Managing Pain

 

20:17-21:36

 

So when thinking about medications, there's lots of different ways to target pain and again oftentimes individuals with chronic pain are experiencing pain because of different signaling pathways in their body and there's probably multiple areas where there's pain, so that could be signaling from the brain and that can be signaling from the tissue area itself.

痛みの原因は様々なので、それらに対応した薬を処方することになります。慢性痛の方は、痛みの伝達経路が体内に複数あり、痛みの信号が脳から出たり、組織自身から出たりしています。

 

So in order to address pain, I like to think about it as kind of you're carrying your bucket of water, right? And if you happen to be sold that, the bucket with a lot of holes in it, you can't just put a band-aid on one of those holes and expect the water to stay in the bucket, right? You need to address every single hole and that's how I think about pain management as well. It oftentimes takes a variety of medications that are targeting different pain pathways in our body to be able to effectively manage pain.

例で説明したいと思います。皆さんは今、水の入ったバケツを持っており、そのバケツにたくさんの穴が空いているとします。穴を1つだけ塞いでも、水は出続けますね。穴を全て塞がなければ、水は止まりません。痛みも同じなのです。効果的に痛みを抑えるには、多くの場合、複数の痛みの経路に対応するため様々な種類の薬が必要です。

 

And so sometimes those medications are what fall into the class of antidepressants or anticonvulsant medications that are really targeting the pain pathways in the brain, sometimes their local anesthetics, sometimes their medications that can affect our heart rate and our sympathetic nervous system, and sometimes their anti-inflammatory medicines.

痛みの治療に使われる薬には、抗うつ剤や抗けいれん薬といった脳内の痛みの経路に作用する薬や局所麻酔薬、心拍数や交感神経系に作用する薬、抗炎症薬なども使われます。
