Pain. Pain remains the major concern for most patients with RA. Its persistence is an important negative consequence of disease. Although controlling pain is one indication of successful treatment, the majority of RA patients have significant amounts of pain despite therapy. Patients consistently rate pain as their most important symptom. [Xxxxxxx et al. 2002] Other than drug studies looking at the effect of reducing inflammation, there are few studies which have specifically looked at pain pathways and the cause of chronic pain in RA patients. [Xxx 2013] Despite pain being a dominant symptom in RA it is not routinely measured and is not part of commonly used composite measures that assess RA such as the DAS28. The most common way of measuring pain is the double anchored 100mm visual analogue scale (VAS), labelled ’No pain at all’ at one end, and ’Pain as bad as it could be’ at the other end. The VAS was first developed in rheumatology in 1974 by Huskisson et al and takes only a few seconds to complete. The pain VAS is part of the American College Rheumatology (ACR) and EULAR/OMERACT core data set [Xxxxxx et al. 1993; xxx Xxxxxx et al. 1996]. The verbal rating scale (VRS) is another simple measure which has been shown to correlate strongly with the VAS [Xxxxxxx et al. 1992] The VRS consists of words which describe the severity of pain – such as ‘none’, ‘mild’, ‘moderate’, ‘severe’ and ‘extreme’. This is not as widely used as the VAS although one study has shown that certain patients may prefer this to the VAS [Xxxxx et al. 2003]. There are other more detailed pain questionnaires available which have been used in clinical studies and add much to the understanding of pain in RA. Their place in routine clinical practice is limited by the amount of time needed to complete the questionnaires. The XxXxxx pain questionnaire [Xxxxxxx 1983] has 102 words in 20 categories and patients are asked to circle words that describe their current pain. The complete XxXxxx pain questionnaire also has a diagram so that patients can indicate the location of their pain. There are also questions relating to the intensity of pain and how it changes with time. Although this questionnaire provides detailed knowledge and insight into the pain experienced in RA it takes at least 15-20 minutes to complete. Even the short version of the questionnaire [Xxxxxxx 1987] is too long to use in routine clinical practice but is useful in the research setting. The rheumatoid arthritis pain scale (RAPS)...

Notes Notes
Pain. Pain that interferes with swallowing, eating, or other normal activities requires expeditious (i.e., within 24 hours) treatment by a dentist, physician, or appropriately trained MLP. As with dentoalveolar infections, the inmate may be triaged and stabilized by MLPs or physicians and seen by the dentist at dental sick call. The system must be designed to allow for inmates to be seen within 24 hours for stabilization of their pain and an evaluation of its source. Pain associated with denture irritation can be stabilized by leaving the denture out until the inmate may be seen by a dentist. Level Two Level two is primarily associated with the dental daily sick call or other requests for urgent care. Inmates with intermittent or constant pain, an inability to eat, and other dental symptoms that cause discomfort should have access to assessment and the initiation of treatment within 24 hours by a dentist, physician, or appropriately trained MLP. Examples of Level 2 care are toothaches, infections, and pain of apparent maxillofacial origin. Level Three Level 3 is disease control or routine care. The acute problems have been stabilized in Levels 1 and 2. Inmates who enter this level require a comprehensive treatment plan. When an inmate progresses to Level 3, he should be free from infection; and pain that interferes with normal daily activities. Dental Caries Carious lesions progress slowly and an early lesion takes several years to progress through the enamel of a permanent tooth.
