Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents – Benefits and New Developments for Cancer Pain

Saltonstall Professor of Pain Research; 2. Special Scientific Staff, Department of Anesthesiology, Tufts Medical Center DOI: 10.17925/EOH.2008.04.2.18 Pain is one of the complications of cancer that patients most fear, and This article surveys the current role of NSAIDs in the management of its multifactorial aetiology makes it one of the most challenging cancer pain and elucidates newly recognised mechanisms that may conditions to treat.1 A systematic review of epidemiological studies on provide a foundation for the next generation of NSAIDs for analgesia cancer pain published between 1982 and 2001 revealed cancer pain for cancer patients. prevalence rates of at least 14%.2 A more recent systematic review identified prevalence rates of cancer pain in as many as one-third of Mechanism of Analgesic Effects patients after curative treatment and two-thirds of patients NSAIDs are a structurally diverse group of compounds known to undergoing treatment regardless of the stage of disease.

COX has two isoenzymes: and methodology used to ascertain prevalence.1 COX-1 is found ubiquitously in most tissues and produces prostaglandins and thromboxane, while COX-2 is located in certain A multimodal approach to the treatment of cancer pain that deploys tissues (brain, blood vessels and so on) and its expression increases both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods may be during inflammation or fever. -
What Are the Acute Treatments for Migraine and How Are They Used?
2. Acute Treatment CQ II-2-1 What are the acute treatments for migraine and how are they used? Recommendation The mainstay of acute treatment for migraine is pharmacotherapy. The drugs used include (1) acetaminophen, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans and (5) antiemetics. Stratified treatment according to the severity of migraine is recommended: use NSAIDs such as aspirin and naproxen for mild to moderate headache, and use triptans for moderate to severe headache, or even mild to moderate headache when NSAIDs were ineffective in the past. It is necessary to give guidance and cautions to patients having acute attacks, and explain the methods of using medications (timing, dose, frequency of use) and medication use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Grade A Background and Objective The objective of acute treatment is to resolve the migraine attack completely and rapidly and restore the patient’s normal functions. An ideal treatment should have the following characteristics: (1) resolves pain and associated symptoms rapidly; (2) is consistently effective; (3) no recurrence; (4) no need for additional use of medication; (5) no adverse effects; (6) can be administered by the patients themselves; and (7) low cost. Literature was searched to identify acute treatments that satisfy the above conditions. Comments and Evidence The acute treatment drugs for migraine generally include (1) acetaminophens, (2) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (3) ergotamines, (4) triptans, and (5) antiemetics. For severe migraines including status migrainosus and migraine attacks refractory to treatment, (6) anesthetics, and (7) corticosteroids (dexamethasone) are used (Tables 1 and 2).1)-9) There are two approaches to the selection and sequencing of these medications: “step care” and “stratified care”. -

Recently, they gained attention in drug design as targets, but they are still disregarded in the latter stages. Thus, this study aims to highlight the relevance of considering membrane lipids in the preclinical phase of drug development. (2) Methods: The interactions of a drug candidate for clinical use (licofelone) with a membrane model system made of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) were evaluated by combining Langmuir isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. -

The objective of the study was to investigate reports of acute kidney injury(AKI) events associated with the concomitant use of oral acyclovir or valacyclovir with an NSAID by using the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) database between January 2004 and June 2012. The frequency of AKI events in patients while simultaneously taking either acyclovir or valacyclovir and an NSAID was compared using the Chi-square test. The effect of concomitant use of acyclovir or valacyclovir and individual NSAIDs on AKI was analyzed by the reporting odds ratio (ROR).The results showed that AKI was reported as the adverse event in 8.6% of the 10,923 patients taking valacyclovir compared with 8.7% of the 2,556 patients taking acyclovir (p=NS).However, AKI was significantly more frequently reported in patients simultaneously taking valacyclovir and an NSAID(19.4%)than in patients simultaneously taking acyclovir and an NSAID(10.5%)(p<0.01). -

NSAIDS Use of Otcs Last Updated 07/10
Adopted: 6/98 Revised: 2/05, 7/10 NSAIDs—Use of Over-the-Counter Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Analgesics Over-the-counter (OTC) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to control pain and inflammation in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, low back pain and sports injuries. The main objective of this protocol is to review NSAIDs that are commonly used in clinical management of musculoskeletal conditions. Dosage, side effects, contraindications, and interactions with other medications are presented, as well as a strategy for decision-making. Although not an NSAID, the analgesic acetaminophen is also discussed. Because treatment with NSAIDs may mask or confuse the benefit of other therapies, it may be prudent to delay use of NSAIDs in some cases until the effectiveness of alternative therapy is determined. BACKGROUND Reducing Pain and Inflammation Limitations of Evidence Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are Scientific evidence from drug trials may not commonly employed in the pharmacological apply to everyone taking a particular drug. For management of pain and inflammation. These example, minority groups, children, the drugs work by inhibiting enzymes called elderly, and persons at increased risk of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX 1-2). The COX 1-2 adverse events are often deliberately excluded enzymes are responsible for the production of from trials. Furthermore, therapeutic benefits prostaglandins, hormone-like substances involved of drugs and adverse reactions are not in inflammation and pain (Prisk 2003). NSAIDs have measured using comparable scales. Finally, been routinely used for the initial onset, drugs tend to be used for a wider range of continued relief, and re-injury or exacerbations of indications than those for which they are musculoskeletal pain.
