PAIN MANAGEMENT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Chronic pain is a prevalent condition worldwide and causes suffering, limited daily activities and reduced quality of life. There is growing evidence that COVID-19 infection is associated with myalgias, referred pain, and generalized hyperalgesia. The aim of the present study is to analyze the management of chronic pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic search was carried out in the Medline database. The following descriptors were used: “Pain Management” AND “coronavirus 2019″ OR “SARS-CoV-2″ OR “COVID-19″ and “Pain” and articles on the topic published within the time frame (2019- 2021) and in the English language. Telemedicine can help provide ongoing services to patients; assessments, treatment and follow-up. Patients with chronic pain may also be at increased risk for COVID-19 due to several factors. Important considerations for health professionals who care for people with chronic pain are: ensuring continuity of care and pain medications; use of telemedicine; maintenance of the biopsychosocial management approach; evaluation and safe conduction of urgent and semi-urgent procedures to avoid morbidity in patients with chronic pain; and the need to modify current therapies to decrease the risk of COVID-19.

    Chronic pain is a prevalent condition worldwide and causes suffering, limited daily activities and reduced quality of life. There is growing evidence that COVID-19 infection is associated with myalgias, referred pain, and generalized hyperalgesia. The aim of the present study is to analyze the management of chronic pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic search was carried out in the Medline database. The following descriptors were used: “Pain Management” AND “coronavirus 2019″ OR “SARS-CoV-2″ OR “COVID-19″ and “Pain” and articles on the topic published within the time frame (2019- 2021) and in the English language. Telemedicine can help provide ongoing services to patients; assessments, treatment and follow-up. Patients with chronic pain may also be at increased risk for COVID-19 due to several factors. Important considerations for health professionals who care for people with chronic pain are: ensuring continuity of care and pain medications; use of telemedicine; maintenance of the biopsychosocial management approach; evaluation and safe conduction of urgent and semi-urgent procedures to avoid morbidity in patients with chronic pain; and the need to modify current therapies to decrease the risk of COVID-19.
