Popis: | BACKGROUND Chronic continuous abdominal pain (CCAP) is characteristic of centrally mediated gastrointestinal pain disorders. It consumes significant healthcare resources yet is poorly understood, with minimal cohort-specific data in the literature. AIMS To examine in a large cohort of CCAP patients, (a) diagnostic features, (b) iatrogenic impact of opioids and surgery, (c) drug treatment effects and tolerance. METHODS Consecutive tertiary CCAP referrals to a neurogastroenterology clinic (2009-2016) were reviewed for Rome IV and neuropathic pain criteria. Medical, surgical and drug histories, interventions and outcomes were correlated with clinical diagnosis and associated opioid use. RESULTS Of 103 CCAP patients (mean age 40 ± 14, 85% female), 50% had physiological exacerbations precluding full Rome IV Centrally Mediated Abdominal Pain Syndrome criteria. However, there were no significant differences between patients who satisfied Rome IV criteria and those who did not. Overall, 81% had allodynia (a nonpainful stimulus evoking pain sensation). Opioid use was associated with allodynia (P = 0.003). Prior surgery was associated with further operations post CCAP onset (P |
