Abstract Objective To assess CYP2D6 genotype prevalence in chronic pain patients treated with tramadol or codeine. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting General hospital, pain management unit. Subjects Patients with chronic pain, treated with codeine or tramadol. Methods Patients’ pain was assessed at baseline (numeric rating scale [NRS]; 0–10). Prescription of codeine or tramadol was selected randomly. The assessment of patients’ response to the drug in terms of pain relief and adverse effects was performed after 24 hours. Reduction of pain intensity of >50% or an NRS <4 was considered a positive response. Patients’ blood samples were collected during the first visit. Genotyping for the common variants CYP2D6 *2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *9, *10, *14, and *17 was performed, and alleles not carrying any polymorphic allele were classified as CYP2D6*1 (wild-type [wt]). Results Seventy-six consecutive patients were studied (20 males, 56 females), aged 21–85 years. Thirty-four received tramadol and 42 codeine. The main genotypes of CYP2D6 identified were the wt/wt (35.5%), the *4/wt (17.1%), and the *6/wt (10.5%). Adverse effects were common, especially in carriers of *9/*9, *5/*5, *5/*4, and *10/*10, as well as in variants including the 4 allele (*4/*1 [38.4%] and *4/*4 [42.8%]). Conclusions Genotyping can facilitate personalized pain management with opioids, as specific alleles are related to decreased efficacy and adverse effects.

Introduction: Effective postoperative pain management provides improved patient comfort and satisfaction, earlier mobilization, fewer pulmonary and cardiac complications, reduced risk deep vein thrombosis, fast recovery, and reduced cost of care. Preemptive analgesia, initiated before the surgical procedure to prevent pain in the early postoperative period, has the potential to be more effective than a similar analgesic treatment initiated after surgery. As a part of multimodal analgesia, the use of NSAIDs should always be considered for acute postoperative pain management. NSAIDs can be used preoperatively as a part of the preemptive regimen and for postoperative pain control to increase the efficacy of opioids and reduce its side effects. Material and Method: This research was experimental research with a case-control design of the study. The samples separated into two groups, the first group got ketoprofen suppository before the induction, and the second group didn’t get the ketoprofen suppository The intensity of pain measured with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) or Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale was the variable studied at different postoperative times (30 min, 60 min, 120 min, 2-6 hours, 6-12 hours). The total amount of rescue analgesics (fentanyl) and side effects were other variables of this study. Result and Discussion: The result is ketoprofen suppository as preemptive analgesia administrations can reduce postoperative pain. Numeric Rating Scale was significantly lower in the ketoprofen group compared to the control group (p < 0,05) at 30 min, 60 min, 230 min, 2-6 hours, 6-12 hours. The number of postoperative analgesics needed in the recovery room was significant differences among both groups (p < 0,05). Conclusion: Preemptive analgesia in patients who underwent an operation with general anesthesia with ketoprofen suppository was effectively in blocking noxious stimuli and central sensitization, with subsequent prevention of acute postoperative pain.

Nyeri didefinisikan sebagai pengalaman sensorik dan emosional yang tidak menyenangkan terkait dengan kerusakan jaringan aktual atau potensial. Manajemen nyeri pada luka bakar merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari terapi luka bakar. Nyeri pada luka bakar merupakan nyeri akut, penanganan yang tidak baik akan menyebabkan komplikasi, salah satunya nyeri kronik. Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung telah membuat Standar Prosedur Operasional (SPO) manajemen nyeri yang berguna untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan dalam pelaksanaan manajemen nyeri. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kesesuaian teknik pengkajian, tindak lanjut dan evaluasi ulang nyeri pada pasien luka bakar dengan SPO manajemen nyeri. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif observasional retrospektif terhadap 99 rekam medis pasien luka bakar yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung pada tahun 2018. Hasil penelitian didapatkankan bahwa pengkajian nyeri yang dilakukan sesuai dengan SPO menggunakan numeric rating scale atau Wong Baker faces pain scale ditemukan pada 99 pasien (100%). Tindak lanjut hasil pengkajian nyeri luka bakar yang dilakukan sesuai dengan SPO sebanyak 71 pasien (72%). Evaluasi ulang setelah tindak lanjut pengkajian nyeri yang sesuai SPO pada 93 pasien (94%). Simpulan, pengkajian nyeri di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung sudah sesuai dengan SPO manajemen nyeri, namun tindak lanjut dan evaluasi ulang pada nyeri luka bakar belum sesuai dengan SPO manajemen nyeri.Evaluation of Compliance to Standard Operating Procedures for Pain Management in Patients with Burns in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital BandungPain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience related to actual or potential tissue damage. Pain management for burns is an integral part of burn therapy. Pain in burns is an acute pain and poor management will lead to health complications including chronic pain. Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung has made a standard operating procedure (SOP) for pain management to improve compliance to pain management standard. This study aimed to evaluate the compliance to the standards in assessment techniques, follow-up, and re-evaluation of pain in patients with burn according to the applicable pain management SOP. This was a retrospective descriptive observational study on 99 medical records of burn patients who met the inclusion criteria in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2018. The results of the study revealed that the pain assessment for these patient was carried out according to the SOP which refers to the use of a numeric rating scale or Wong Baker face pain scale in 99 patients (100%). In the follow-up, 71 were performed according to the SOP (72%) while the re-evaluation was performed in compliance with the SOP in 93 patients (94%). In conclusion, pain assessment in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung is performed in accordance with SOP on pain management but not all patients receive follow-up and re-evaluation of burn pain in accordance with the SOP on pain management.

Objectives: The aim of this case report is to present abdominal pain relief in a patient diagnosed with colorectal cancer with several organ metastases.Methods: The patient was treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion. The effect of the treatment was measured by a numeric rating scale (NRS).Results: The NRS of the patient’s abdominal pain was reduced after Korean medicine treatment.Conclusions: This case report suggests that Korean medicine may be effective for treating abdominal pain in cancer patients. However, additional study is needed to confirm interactions between Korean medicine and the control of abdominal pain.
