Common Pain Meds Don’t Provide Relief for Most People

 Common Pain Meds Dont Provide Relief for Most PeopleA study published in the September issue of the journal The Cochrane Library finds that aspirin or acetaminophen were only effective 30% of the time

If you’re suffering from acute pain, don’t be surprised if aspirin or acetaminophen doesn’t do the trick for you.

A new study finds that only about one-third of people who take one dose of aspirin (1,000 milligrams) or one dose of acetaminophen (600 mg) reported experiencing good pain relief. Good relief was defined as feeling that the pain was cut by half for four to six hours.

The study reviewed 350 previous trials of pain medications that included 45,000 people in total. Close to 50 drugs or drug combinations were evaluated for their ability to relieve pain at specific doses.

  • Only 14% of patients who took codeine (60 mg) said they experienced good relief
  • With the best drugs, 70% or more said they experienced good pain relief. Examples of these drugs include etoricoxib at 120 mg and acetaminophen (500 mg) plus ibuprofen (200 mg)

No drug hit a home run — that is, no medication worked well for all patients. And in many cases, more than half of patients did not experience good pain relief, the researchers said.

The researchers emphasized that the effect of any drug at a particular dose will depend on the individual and the type of pain. Still, the new study may help inform doctors and patients to make decisions about which pain medications to use.

Pain Relief for All Types of Pain

When you take oral pain mediation you need to know if you should take aspirin like Excedrin, an acetaminophen like Tylenol, an ibuprofen like Advil or a naproxen sodium like Aleve because they all work on different types of pain. There is no guess work in using RTPR lotion because in works on all kinds of pain.

Accidental Drug Poisoning in Children Increased 22%

DEA Drugs 300x172 Accidental Drug Poisoning in Children Increased 22%Experts say that the more prescription drugs that are around the house, the more likely a curious child is to ingest them.

Every day there are new alarming news articles about the epidemic of drug abuse in the suburbs, particularly in the use of prescription pain medications.

In a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics, an unrecognized consequence of this epidemic is that there is a 22% increase in accidental drug poisoning in children. With an increased number of pills and prescriptions in homes, there is simply an increased potential of access to dangerous medications by curious children.

Researchers from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati reviewed Poison Control data from 2001-2008 for children five years old or younger presenting to Emergency Departments (EDs) with an unintentional ingestion of a pharmaceutical agent. During this eight-year period, 544,133 children received ED care for such ingestions in the United States, a marked increase over the previous study.

The largest problem is children finding and ingesting medications on their own. The greatest increase is from prescription pharmaceuticals, particularly pain medications such as hydrocodone and oxycodone, sedatives such as benzodiazepines, and cardiac medications.

The authors concluded that the most likely explanation for this worrisome trend is a rise in the number of medications in homes. In 1998-1999 a survey found that 50% of adults had taken a prescription drug in the prior week, and seven percent had taken at least five. A decade later the numbers had increased to 55% and 11%, respectively.

Given substantial efforts at “poison proofing” medications, these results are disheartening. Although it is recommended that households with small children keep their medications in a locked cabinet, this is inconvenient and likely not a universal practice. Many may not understand the danger of even one pill to a small child, the potential harmful effects of over the counter medications or the frequency with which children explore medication cabinets.

In addition, with the current economic downturn leading to many grandparent/children/grandchildren households, there may be a risk simply because of the new living patterns and the number of older people on medications living with small children.

More children are exposed and more require urgent medical attention. Families need to review their own practices; safe storage in locked cabinets, avoidance of pill bottles out in the open, the use of safety bottles at all times, and discarding medications that are no longer in use. And, to be sure, have the national Poison Control number of 1-800-222-1222 readily available.

1 in 10 Newborns Addicted To Prescription Pain Medications

0 1 in 10 Newborns Addicted To Prescription Pain Medications

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio – It’s supposed to be one of the most exciting times in a women’s life. But sometimes being a mother can come in second when they’re addicted to prescription pain killers.

“I overdosed when I came into treatment,” said Kendra Mantel. “I died. I overdosed and died.”

Mantel, 24, should have been celebrating a life when she had just given birth to a son. Instead the Portsmouth woman checked into rehab to get clean and to regain custody of her only child Zayden. This happened all the while her newborn remained hospitalized with her drug addiction, ONN’s Denise Alex reported.

“Vomiting, shaking, stuff like that,” Mantel said. “So it was pretty horrible for a little infant.”

The prescription drug abuse problem is rampant throughout the state. But in southern Ohio it’s at epidemic proportions.

“We realize it’s not just a Scioto County problem. We call it ground zero,” said Dr. Aaron Adams, Scioto County’s Health Commissioner. “As we turned into the year 2000, we saw a big change from crack cocaine. We just saw the prescription drugs just accelerate.” Adams said that more and more expecting mothers are hooked on the habit.

At Southern Ohio Medical Center where Adams serves on the board of directors, one out of 10 newborns is addicted to Opiates. That is a 5%  increase from 2009 when SOMC first began to review statistics.

“If it was there, I was not picky,” said Eden Bennington. “My drug of choice was Oxycontin.” Drugs kept Bennington, 25, from her son. “He’s seven-years-old. I haven’t seen him in three years,” Bennington said. After spending six months in jail, Bennington is now in rehab to prevent her unborn daughter, due in October, from being taken from her as well. “If I hadn’t went to jail I wouldn’t have found out I was pregnant and I would have still been using. I would have ended up dead,” Bennington said.

Medical experts said that any unborn child addicted to Opiates could end up dead or with serious health complications, Alex reported. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that babies exposed to Opiates in the uterus had slightly higher rates of birth defects including congenital heart defects, glaucoma and spin bifida.

“We really don’t know the consequences yet because the jury is going to be out for years until we see what happens to these babies,” Adams said.

“It’s a little tough to see for the babies,” said Mary Irwin, Director of Stepping Stone House. The Stepping Stone House is a minimum 90-day residential treatment program for women. “A client comes in and they tell you one story,” Irwin said. “Hopefully by the time they are leaving they are telling a totally different story and one that is the truth.”

Both Mantel and Bennington grew up in a family of addicts that consisted of drugs and violence. “My son was five weeks old when my dad got shot and killed,” Mantel said. Both young mothers said that they also had similar drug suppliers.

“I had more than one doctor at a time just to get enough pills to make it through the month,” Bennington said. Now the two women are getting help for themselves and for their children, Alex reported. They are both in a 90 day counseling and therapy program and then will do a six week program of post-partum care.

“I really want to break the cycle with him,” Mantel said. “I don’t want to become a part of his life and then mess up again,” Bennington said.

“Some of them, it’s the worst time of their life and we see a lot of miracles,” Irwin said.

Mantel said that it’s the miracles of staying clean that get them by. “A lot of people tell me they look up to me and it feels really good,” Mantel said. It’s also the miracle of having babies, who so far, have no developmental concerns. “He’s just so happy and smart,” Mantel said. “He just looks happy to be here.”

According to the Ohio Hospital Association, Drug Withdrawal Syndrome in newborn babies continues to rise statewide. There were 413 cases in 2007 and 1,116 in 2010.

Use of Painkillers during Pregnancy May Be Linked to Miscarriage Risk

 Use of Painkillers during Pregnancy May Be Linked to Miscarriage RiskAccording to a research study that appeared in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on September 6, 2011 the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs during pregnancy may increase the risk of spontaneous abortion or miscarriages.

The normal risk for a woman is 15%. But the study says that number goes up to more than 30% in women who take pain killers such as ibuprofen and naproxen. The researchers looked at more than 52,000 pregnant women in Canada, and found that those who received at least one prescription for a NSAID, in early pregnancy, were more than twice as likely to have a miscarriage than women who didn’t get a prescription.

NSAIDs include prescription drugs like diclofenac, celecoxib (Celebrex) and rofecoxib (Vioxx), a painkiller that is no longer sold in the USA, as well as over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve).

About 4,700 women included in the study had a miscarriage before the 20th week of pregnancy. The researchers compared each of those women to 10 others of the same age who had not miscarried by the same point in their pregnancies. Among women who miscarried, 7.5% (352 women) had filled at least one NSAID prescription, compared with 2.6% (1,213 women) who didn’t have a miscarriage.

Prescription Drug Abuse Grows Into a Nationwide Epidemic

Pill mills prevalent in Mississippi

Pill Mill 300x229 Prescription Drug Abuse Grows Into a Nationwide EpidemicAmong the prescription medication frequently seized by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics are OxyContin, Lorazepam, hydrocodone and Xanax.

In two vehicles parked outside a sandwich shop, the individuals aren’t just sitting and talking. They’re completing an illicit transaction. One of them, a physician, is writing a prescription for a pain killer.

In another instance, a physician isn’t discussing a case as he talks excitedly in a crowded room with several people and offers to hire a women in the group. He is suspected of running a pill mill, another name for an illegal prescription drug trade.

“Things are not always as they appear,” Thomas Washington said as he discussed the two scenarios before a crowd of about 100 gathered last week at the Eagle Ridge Conference Center in Raymond. The scenes depicted real cases of improper distribution of prescription drugs taking place in Mississippi, said Washington, director of investigations for the state Board of Medical Licensure. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem, including in Mississippi, according to Washington and those in law enforcement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic.

The conference brought together agency heads, law enforcement officials, nurses, doctors and others to talk and coordinate efforts to deal with the looming threat, said Washington, also president of the Mississippi chapter of the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators. “We’re not trying to prohibit anyone from pain medicine if it is legitimate,” Washington said. But Washington said the different parties must work together to stop pill mills and doctors who contribute to prescription drug trafficking.

Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health show a third of all people over the age of 12 who used drugs for the first time in 2009 began by using a prescription drug non-medically.

Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director Marshall Fisher, a speaker at the conference, said prescription drugs may not have the stigma of illegal drugs such as crack cocaine and crystal meth, but the abuse involves a lot of dope. “Prescription drug is killing people,” Fisher said.

In July alone in Mississippi, there were 536,630 prescriptions for controlled substances filled for more than 31 million pills, according to the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy. Those numbers include:

  • 16,273 prescriptions for Adderall, a schedule II stimulant.
  • 29,731 prescriptions filled for Oxycodone/Oxycontin, Percodan and Percocet, scheduled II pain medication.
  • 172,144 prescriptions filled for Hydrocodone/Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, and Vicodin, scheduled III pain medicine.
  • 44,746 prescriptions filled for schedule IV tranquilizer Alprazolam / Xanax.

Aside from law enforcement being on the lookout for individuals peddling prescription drugs on the street, Mississippi is one of 43 states with a prescription monitoring program that will alert law enforcement to some cases of doctor shopping or abuse. Such programs monitor the prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances and detect illicit prescribing and dispensing.

Data are reviewed and made available to law enforcement and will provide information to medical practitioners if a large of amount of pills are being provided. Each pharmacy in Mississippi has access to a computer database, allowing pharmacists to track prescriptions and make sure people aren’t getting multiple prescriptions filled at different pharmacies. The state has access to the data.

“We collect the data and will furnish it to law enforcement,” said Frank Gammill, executive director of the Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy. “We don’t get a reply on how law enforcement uses the information.” But Gammill said he knows some physicians have had their licenses taken for improper distribution of prescription drugs or they have been charged criminally.

In July, a Saucier doctor and six others were charged in a federal indictment for allegedly dealing pills for profit. Dr. Je Song of Gulfport is charged with conspiring to dispense drugs outside the scope of his medical practice. The 35-count indictment alleges Song wrote prescriptions for painkillers and anxiety drugs to patients under 21 without a medical exam for a fee between December and May 2011. Song’s co-defendants, George Cowart, Kevin Anderson, Jerry Spiers, Oliver “Butch” Shoemaker Jr., John Segretto and Gary Crum, were middle men getting the prescriptions from Song and completing the sales, according to the indictment. Cowart has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy. He is scheduled to be sentenced in November.

Also, in June, a federal appeals court upheld the conviction of a Biloxi pharmacist. U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola in Gulfport last October sentenced Nick Tran, 42, to the maximum 10 years in federal prison for running a pill mill. Tran was convicted in June 2010 on 24 counts of conspiring to dispense controlled substances – such as hydrocodone (Lortab), alprazolam (Xanax), carisoprodol (Soma) and narcotic cough syrups – outside the scope of professional practice. Tran’s pharmacy was in the Family Medical Center building in Biloxi, where the prescriptions were written.

Common Pain Meds Don’t Provide Relief for Most

Buy pain pills online with no prescription 300x182 Common Pain Meds Dont Provide Relief for MostA study published in the September issue of the journal The Cochrane Library finds that aspirin or acetaminophen were only effective 30 percent of the time.

If you’re suffering from acute pain, don’t be surprised if aspirin or acetaminophen doesn’t do the trick for you.

A new study finds that only about one-third of people who take one dose of aspirin (1,000 milligrams) or one dose of acetaminophen (600 mg) reported experiencing good pain relief.

Good relief was defined as feeling that the pain was cut by half for four to six hours.

The study reviewed 350 previous trials of pain medications that included 45,000 people in total. Close to 50 drugs or drug combinations were evaluated for their ability to relieve pain at specific doses.

Only 14 percent of patients who took codeine (60 mg) said they experienced good relief, the study showed.

With the best drugs, 70 percent or more said they experienced good pain relief. Examples of these drugs include etoricoxib at 120 mg and acetaminophen (500 mg) plus ibuprofen (200 mg), the study said.

No drug hit a home run — that is, no medication worked well for all patients. And in many cases, more than half of patients did not experience good pain relief, the researchers said.

The researchers emphasized that the effect of any drug at a particular dose will depend on the individual and the type of pain. Still, the new study may help inform doctors and patients to make decisions about which pain medications to use.

Pain medications
Moore and colleagues set out to review 35 other reviews from the journal The Cochrane Library. The researchers included studies in which participants were randomly assigned to receive a particular pain medication or a placebo to treat acute pain from surgery. Most of these studies involved people who had had their wisdom teeth removed.

“Where there is no evidence of efficacy, the drugs in question should probably not be used to treat acute pain,” the researchers said. Moore said that whether a particular drug works for someone is often hit or miss — people either experience great pain relief, or none at all.

“If the first painkiller a person tries doesn’t seem to be working, then a doctor should look to find an alternative reliable drug and see if it is more effective in that individual patient. There are plenty of options that have a solid evidence base,” Moore said.

Real Time Pain Relief in the Eye of the Storm in Orlando, Florida

In the days leading to the Florida Chiropractic Association’s Annual Convention in Orlando Florida, Hurricane Irene looked as if she might interrupt the event scheduled for August 25-28, 2011. Irene steered to the east and missed Orlando completely and when the PeaBody Convention Center opened, a virtually unknown 13 year old American company, RTPR LLC, found itself in the eye of the storm. RTPR LLC manufactures and distributes “the best smelling and most effective topical pain relief available today … Real Time Pain Relief.”

Edmond, Oklahoma (PRWEB) August 31, 2011– The FCA National Chiropractic Convention had over 3,000 convention attendees who were connected to the chiropractic field, making it one of the three largest chiropractic events of the year. As the word spread through the convention center about a new pain relief product, that smelled really good, Real Time Pain Relief’s exhibit booth quickly became one of the busiest booths during the three day event.

“The response to the soothing, non-medicinal smell of Real Time Pain Relief was amazing and led to almost 500 chiropractors personally requesting introductory starter kits for their practices. According to Trade show personnel, Real Time Pain Relief had almost 20 times more scanner requests than the average exhibit booth at the convention,” stated Ron Snodgrass, CEO RTPR LLC.

Real Time Pain Relief is a homeopathic, “rub-on” product that is very synergistic with the healing philosophy of helping the body heal itself … naturally. Prior to Real Time Pain Relief, practitioners have used either a cold or warm (topical) therapy approach however, with the introduction of Real Time Pain Relief, healthcare practitioners now have a third option to offer their patients that not only relieves pain but also reduces inflammation, revitalizes tissue and joints … and it smells great.

RTPR’s Director of Healthcare Development, Dr. Janet Sloane stated that, “The most satisfying aspect of the convention was when doctors came back to thank us after getting results firsthand for their own aches and pains. We heard repeatedly that Real Time Pain Relief was the product they’d been waiting for.”

Real Time Pain Relief is enthusiastically entering the chiropractic market where 15 million patients generate 192 million office visits per year. Judging from the warm reception at this convention, it appears that we passed the “smell test,” literally. “The wonderful relationships that were fostered at the FCA National Chiropractic Convention will help us continue to share the greatness of Real Time Pain Relief with even more Americans who are suffering from chronic pain,” said Charles Carlton, Senior Vice President, RTPR, LLC.

September is Pain Awareness Month – Opportunity for Fund Raising

 September is Pain Awareness Month – Opportunity for Fund RaisingDuring the 2011 September Pain Awareness Month it is a good time to reflect on how to become a better advocate for improved access to information on holistic and alternative treatments for all those who suffer with chronic pain. Pain is a national health crisis that knows neither political parties nor constituent boundaries. It is the number one reason people seek medical help. Chances are you know someone who lives with persistent pain – maybe it’s you.

At least 116 million U.S. adults – or about 4 in 10 – suffer from chronic pain every year, leading to extra sick days, lost wages and productivity, said the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report published on June 29th 2011. The IOM report excluded costs associated with pain in children or members of the U.S. military, making the estimate conservative and yet higher than economic costs of heart disease, cancer and diabetes combine. The federal Medicare program takes the brunt of the medical costs of pain, bearing a quarter of expenditures. The IOM also reported that $560 to $635 billion is spent each year in the United States for medical treatment and lost productivity due to chronic pain. Read more »
