According to a Reuters report on September 10, a new study shows that nearly 10% of suicides in the United States occur in people with chronic pain. The researchers believe that this finding suggests that chronic pain may be a risk factor for suicide.
Although the study did not prove that chronic pain is the cause of suicide, Dr. Emiko Petrosky, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, USA, said: "We did find mental health problems in patients with chronic pain, such as Depression and anxiety."
Petrosky and colleagues say that it is estimated that 25 million American adults have a certain degree of pain every day, and that 10.5 million people will experience considerable pain. "Health care workers who care for patients with chronic pain should be aware of the risk of suicide. Chronic pain is a huge public health problem, and we must improve it through patient-centred integrated management, including those for these patients," Petrosky said. Mental health care outside of medical treatment."
In this study, a total of 123,181 suicide deaths, of which 10,789, and about 9% of them suffered from chronic pain. During the study period, the proportion of suicides among patients with chronic pain increased, from 7.4% in 2003 to 10.2% in 2014. But Petrosky's team also emphasized the fact that during the same period, the proportion of people who struggled with chronic pain also increased.
More than 50% of patients with chronic pain die from gun-related injuries, while 16.2% die from opioid overdose. Despite this, patients with chronic pain are three times more likely to detect opioid positivity at the time of death than others.
Some medical experts say that opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are very effective in treating acute pain, but they cannot treat chronic pain. It seems that no drug has a particularly effective effect on chronic pain. Chronic pain can be a deadly disease. (Internship Compilation: Wang Fangyuan Review: Tan Liya)
