Treating patients with chronic pain is often complicated and labor intensive. Managing chronic pain with long-term opioids is a controversial practice as the U.S. is experiencing an epidemic of opioid-induced morbidity and mortality. According to recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, the overdose death rate from prescription opioids more than tripled from 1990 to 2013 and opioid overdose is now the leading cause of injury death in the U.S. Doctors who prescribe long-term opioids to treat chronic pain are increasingly being held liable for patient overdoses, patient traffic accidents, and drug-related patient injuries. As a physician prescribing opioids, you could be sued for causing addiction, wrongful death, and patient injury; you could be investigated by the medical board and lose your medical license; you could even be prosecuted for murder.
Reimbursement for managing opioids is low and does not adequately compensate the physician for the time, effort, and liability risks involved. Why prescribe opioids? Why should any sane primary care physician manage opioids in chronic pain patients? The following reasons come to mind: • As physicians, we want to help our patients. • Uncontrolled pain can have harmful physical effects such as elevated blood pressure and elevation of stress hormone levels. • Chronic pain can imprison the patient in a sedentary lifestyle and lead to suicide from chronic anxiety and depression.
Opioids allow some patients to get out of bed and lead a more normal life. • Opioids, even at high dose, do not harm the body’s organs, unlike NSAIDs and acetaminophen, which, according to the American Journal of Gastroenterology, cause thousands of American deaths each year from bleeding or liver damage respectively. • Some chronic pain patients achieve excellent pain relief, better physical functioning, and life-changing improvement with minimal side effects on long-term opioids and never become addicted. • Opioids have been the standard of care for pain management for over 100 years. If you weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision to manage your chronic pain patients, with or without opioids, a pain management plan will help to keep your patients safe and you out of trouble.
The importance of a plan A pain management plan is important in part because it lends structure and thoughtful logic to the management of a complex, controversial, and high-risk disease state. According to the Institute of Medicine, 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain and one quarter of them have pain that is severe enough to reduce their quality of life. Recent NIH data suggests that 9.4 million Americans take opioids for long-term pain management and approximately 2.1 million may be considered addicted. There is little scientific evidence to prove that opioids are effective after six months of continuous use. In 2014, the American Academy of Neurology concluded that the risks of long-term opioid treatment for headaches and chronic low back pain likely outweigh the benefits. In 2015, an NIH Panel on Opioids concluded, “There is insufficient evidence for every clinical decision that a provider needs to make regarding use of opioids for chronic pain.” Nonetheless, most experienced physicians agree that a substantial number of chronic pain patients benefit from long-term opioids and use them responsibly.
A comprehensive pain management plan will facilitate safe opioid prescribing, help legitimate patients achieve pain relief, and reduce abuse and diversion of prescription opioids. The plan should consider the following.
1. Identify and document the pain diagnosis you are treating. Chronic radiculopathy, complex regional pain syndrome, failed back surgery syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis are well-defined pain diagnoses that have been historically treated with opioids. Fibromyalgia and chronic headache are more ephemeral diagnoses for which opioid management would be more controversial
2. Determine the relative abuse and diversion risk for. each patient. It is possible to assess pre-treatment addiction risk by using screening questionnaires such as OTORI, ORT, SOAPP-R, and DIRE while screening questionnaires such as PMQ, COMM, and PDRQ may identify abuse once treatment has started. According to a 2013 VA study by Zedler et. al., the 14 item OTORI screening questionnaire may be the best tool to predict opioid overdose prior to starting treatment. The most important medical history items associated with opioid abuse include personal or family history of addiction and comorbid psychiatric conditions.
3. Identify specific, achievable patient goals for chronic pain therapy before beginning opioids. For example: • The patient will go shopping for groceries without assistance once per week. • The patient will attend their child’s school functions twice per week. • The patient will stay out of bed for at least 14 hours per day.
4. Define your opioid philosophy and rules for opioid prescribing in writing. For example: • Chronic opioids will be provided to you at the lowest possible dose that relieves pain and improves function in conjunction with multidisciplinary physical and psychological therapies and referral for interventional procedure as appropriate. • You agree to obtain opioids only from this medical practice. If you obtain controlled substances from any other source, you must inform us immediately. • Lost and/or early prescriptions will not be refilled. • Random urine drug screens will be performed. • We will involve family members in the evaluation and treatment process whenever possible. • Functional improvement is as important as pain relief and we will regularly measure physical function. Your patient should sign a formal “Opioid Agreement,” which describes your requirements and expectations for the patient. Sample opioid agreements are available online and should be reviewed and customized to your medical practice and your prescribing philosophy.
5. Define a ceiling dose for opioids. Death rates are increased in patients who take high doses of opioids so consider a ceiling dose for the opioids you prescribe. Data from Washington State suggests that capping a maximum opioid dose at 100–200 morphine mg equivalents per day can reduce overdose mortality. Combining appropriate non-addicting medications such as anti-inflammatories, acetaminophen, nerve stabilizing medications, and antidepressants will help to keep the opioid dose as low as possible.
6. Facilitate multidisciplinary management. Chronic pain is most effectively treated when multidisciplinary resources are utilized so consider referring your patient to a physical therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist and/or an interventional pain clinic as appropriate. Regular physical therapy combined with a home exercise program will help maximize physical function. Treating anxiety, depression, and comorbid psychiatric conditions with psychological or psychiatric evaluation and therapy is equally important to the success of any pain management plan. Referral to an interventional pain clinic is appropriate for patients who may benefit from interventional procedures such as: • Epidural steroid injections for disc herniation • Sympathetic blocks for complex regional pain syndrome • Medial branch radiofrequency ablation for axial spine pain of facet origin • Spinal cord stimulation for intractable neuropathic pain • Implant of an intrathecal infusion pump for targeted drug delivery in patients who are refractory to or experience unacceptable side effects from oral opioids
7. Emphasize Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) database checks and urine drug screening. It is important to check the PMP database before dispensing any opioid prescription and to perform urine drug screening (UDS) at baseline and randomly during opioid therapy. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), PMPs have resulted in improved prescribing patterns, decreased use of multiple providers and multiple pharmacies, and a reduction in substance abuse hospital admissions. Studies from Washington state and Canada have shown that PMPs in combination with UDS, patient education, pill counts, and written opioid agreements can reduce prescription opioid abuse by 50 percent. Low-risk patients may be appropriate for urine drug screening every six months whereas higher risk patients should be screened more frequently.
Conclusion Finally, be sure to follow your written plan and protocols. If you continue to prescribe opioids in the face of positive urine drug screens and multiprovider prescriptions evident in the PMP, you put your patient’s safety and your medical license at risk. If pain is not relieved and function not improved, consider weaning opioids. Weaning protocols are available and typically include reduction of opioid dose by 10 percent to 30 percent per week depending on circumstances. If a patient is actively abusing opioids, inpatient detoxification may be appropriate.

If you have an aging loved one, its natural that you want their later years to be happy, fulfilling and comfortable. You also understand its not just their physical needs that need tending to their mental and emotional health is equally important. However, issues like cognitive degeneration, social isolation and poor sleep in later years can all negatively impact mood and wellbeing, leading to issues including anxiety, depression and paranoia. Although paranoia in elderly people is relatively common and generally isnt dangerous, it can certainly be upsetting no one wants to imagine their parent, spouse or family member in distress, especially if you cant always be there to soothe them. Thats why having a professional in-home caregiver can provide a stable and reassuring presence not just for your loved one, but for you as well. What Signs of Paranoia Should I Look Out For? Research shows us that there is indeed a link between aging and mental health conditions like paranoia, which falls under the category of psychosis, which is when an individual is separated from reality and therefore sees, hears or believes things that arent real. Common symptoms include thinking they are being followed, believing theyve been robbed when an item has been misplaced, being convinced people are talking about them behind their back, hearing strange noises, or an unfounded conviction that they are being mistreated. These feelings are often accompanied by strong negative emotions such as anger, fear and jealousy. What Triggers Paranoia in Older People? There are a number of conditions and situations that can lead to paranoia in elderly loved ones. While some of these conditions can be easily identified and treated, others may be more difficult to diagnose and remedy. These include: Degenerative conditions like Alzheimers and dementia, which affect memory and cognitive function Certain medications which can cause irritability or hallucinations Brain tumors and vascular conditions, such as a stroke or blood clots Urinary tract infections, which can trigger sudden confusion and delirium if left untreated Social isolation, particularly in seniors living alone As with any health concern, if you are worried paranoia is impacting your loved ones daily life, then you should speak to their physician as soon as you can. How to Help a Loved One Experiencing Paranoia Seeing your loved one getting anxious or upset can be difficult, but its important not to react with anger or frustration or to let things escalate into an argument. Instead, some easy steps you can take to help include: Investigate their concerns. Sadly, unscrupulous people do often take advantage of vulnerable older people, so always double check to ensure this is not the case. Check assistance devices. Make sure hearing aids are working properly and glasses prescriptions are up to date. Maintain a routine. Avoid changing schedules, moving furniture or even rearranging cupboards. Consider professional assistance. Regular visits from a private home caregiver, particularly one trained in dementia care or mental health in older adults, can help provide stability, routine and sense of calm. Other Benefits of Professional Senior Care While we know that you want to do everything possible to keep your loved one safe and happy, there are times when coping with their paranoia can be tough and even overwhelming especially if you are dealing with accusations of theft or mistreatment or have other responsibilities to worry about. This is when a professional caregiver can provide expert assistance, as they are trained in dealing with distressed or angry individuals and understand how to navigate these difficult situations. On the other hand, introducing a new person into the home is a change, and paranoid individuals can often be suspicious or mistrusting of a new caregiver, so it needs to be handled sensitively and sympathetically.

When looking for senior care, many people search for an individual home caregiver because they dont know what their options are. However, they are often unprepared for the risks of hiring a private caregiver and find some unexpected downsides, including caregiver availability and backup care for when a regular caregiver isnt accessible. Instead of directly hiring a caregiver on their own, many families looking for private caregivers find they prefer the flexibility and reliability of a home care agency. With high-quality caregivers and consistent service built to suit your loved ones needs, a home care agency can give you complete peace of mind. Get Caregivers Backed by a Team When you work with a home care agency, you dont just get an individual caregiver; you get an entire team.
