In the past 12 months, we have not had a significant
financial interest or other relationship with the
manufacturer(s) of the product(s) or provider(s) of the
service(s) that will be discussed in my presentation.
This presentation will include discussion of
pharmaceuticals or devices that have not been approved
by the FDA or if you will be discussing unapproved or
“off-label” uses of pharmaceuticals or devices.

Integrative Medicine Vs. CAM

1
CAM-complementary and alternative medicine




Specific therapies/modalities
Not typically taught, used or reimbursed in USA
hospitals
A group of diverse practices not presently considered
part of conventional medicine
5 domains defined by NIH-NCCAM


Mind/Body
Biological
Manipulative/Body- based
Alternative Systems

Integrative Medicine Vs. CAM

Integrative Medicine-A system of care that
emphasizes wellness and healing

Principles










Mind/body/spirit
Patient –provider as collaborative partners
Natural, less invasive approaches when possible
Facilitating the body’s natural healing capacities
Need for provider self-care
Conventional and CAM in balance
Customized to patient need and preference
Balance of evidence and safety considerations
Note-over 20 Pediatric CAM Programs in USA


66% believed CAM could be helpful


Kemper & O’connor, 2004, Ambul Peds
Pediatricians in Ohio and Minnesota


97% would refer kids with chronic pain for CAM if more was
known about efficacy
73% of female peds and 58% of male peds surveyed classified
themselves as “believers”

**All-expressed need for more CAM education
CAM and Pain Management




Most common reason for CAM usage in adults
surveys is chronic pain –particularly
musculoskeletal pain
For many children with chronic painconventional options –psychotropic meds and
PT-are not working
Increasing evidence that CAM is quite useful
and also safe (particularly non-drug options)
Personal use of Cam by physicians pedicts
likelihood of patient referral for CAM
CAM & Kids:Legal & Ethical Aspects

Complex issues at boundary of medicine, law
and public policy


Cohen et al, 2005, Pediatrics
Clinical Risks






Parents abandon effective care in life-threatening situation?
Does CAM divert from or delay necessary treatment?
Evidence for CAM treatment –known to unsafe or ineffective?
Consent of proper parties?
Is risk/benefit ratio acceptable?
Your knowledge of CAM provider you are referring the patient to

Chronic Pain: Diagnosis





Study of general academic pediatriciansinvestigated opinions of children presenting with
unexplained chronic pain
134 patients, 8-18 y.o.-chart review –3 M.D.’s
60% had psychiatric co-morbidity (kids not docs)
Did not agree on cause of pain for 57% of pts
Did not agree on appropriate diagnostic workup
for 37% of patients

Do children feel pain?




circumcision
6 month olds-anticipate and avoid pain
Pain Memory

3 groups





Uncircumcised
Circumcised with EMLA
Circumcised with placebo
Pain scores at 4 and 6 mos shots
Circumcised infants had higher pain
response
Taddio et al. Lancet, 1997




Children involved in a placebo trial of
transmucosal fentanyl
Subsequent study all children received opiates
Patients in original placebo group had higher
pain scores with subsequent procedures
Inadequate analgesia effects future pain
response

Children’s Minnesota Integrative
Medicine: What Works?






We complement and work closely with all subspecialties-value
added
Work with difficult cases that are “stuck” –conventional approaches
not getting it done
Psychologist and MD work very closely-assessment and treatment
More willingness from patients and families to consider mind/body
approaches without “stigma” associated with “mental health”
Carefully considered therapy mix and political milieux
Great support from leadership team –we bring in philanthropic
dollars, great PR and academic notice (talks and publications)-even
though we don’t make big $$-we have controlled revenue and
expenses very well
Value of Pain Service*




23 hospitals, 5837 patients
half anesthesia pain service, half control
Decreased pain intensity, decreased
nausea, decreased itching, decreased
sedation in pain service group
Less pain than patient expected; more
likely to receive education; quicker
discharge
*Miaskowski, Pain 199:80:23-29
Surveys of Adequacy of Pain
Relief

Cummings et al. 1996





Survey of all children in children’s hospital
Clinically significant pain was present in 21%
of population
Pain intensity not related to age, diagnosis
Children offered less meds than prescribed
“No one” identified as helping with pain
For nearly thirty years I have studied the
reasons for inadequate management of
pain, and they remain the
same….inadequate or improper
application of available information and
therapies is certainly the most important
reason for inadequate postoperative pain
relief
John Bonica, 1990
We realized a traditional Pain Service only
helps those patients with whom it interacts


Action plan which emphasizes CCMC’s
fundamental commitment to pain control
which suffuses through all disciplines and
departments
Basic premise is that pain control and
comfort measures will be a part of all
patient encounters and that barriers to pain
relief will be identified and removed.
Affects the quality of life of all children in
hospital and its community; not select few
with complex pain
Mission

Provision of high quality clinical care in the area
of pain control




Direct care to inpatients and outpatients with pain
Helping other disciplines treat pain problems more
effectively
Creating an atmosphere throughout CCMC
where pain treatment is viewed as important
Establishing a tradition of education and
scholarship in the area of pain management
