About Acute Pain
Acute pain is pain that comes on quickly, can be severe, but lasts a relatively short time.i Acute pain has many different causes including surgery, broken bones and dental work, among others. Acute pain can be mild and last for just seconds or it might be severe and come and go over weeks or months. In most cases, acute pain does not last longer than six months, and it resolves when the underlying cause of pain has been treated or has healed. Unrelieved acute pain, however, might lead to chronic pain.ii
About Chronic Pain
There are approximately 100 million Americans--more than those affected by heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined--who suffer from chronic pain that is often undertreated according to the Institute of Medicine. It is also the most common reason patients seek medical care, resulting in $635 billion annually in both medical costs and decreased work productivity. Chronic pain is typically defined as pain that lasts beyond the healing of an injury or that persists beyond three months. Common types of chronic pain include low back pain, arthritis, headache and face and jaw pain. Severe pain typically stops an individual from participating in activities and causes patients to change their behavior to avoid such activities. According to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, chronic pain is associated with functional loss and disability, reduced quality of life, high health care costs, and premature death. Chronic pain also can result in isolation, depression, sleep disorders and other issues that have a negative impact not only on patients but family members as well.
It is important that these patients whose chronic pain often interrupts their daily lives gain and maintain access to adequate pain relief. Opioids analgesics play an important role in the management of moderate to severe pain and are the most widely prescribed products for pain, with prescriptions exceeding 200 million in 2013.Important Safety Information for OXAYDO(TM) (oxycodone HCl, USP) Tablets for oral use only - CII
