What is the treatment for absent Deep Pain (DP) and multiphasic signals?

From the Guidelines

Treatment for Absent Deep Pain (DP) and Multiphasic Signals Absent Deep Pain (DP) and multiphasic signals are typically treated with medications that target neuropathic pain, such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and anti-convulsants 1.

• First-line therapies for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which may be applicable to absent DP and multiphasic signals, include:
  • TCAs, such as amitriptyline, at a dose of 25-100 mg/day 1
  • SNRIs, such as duloxetine, at a dose of 20-120 mg/day 1
  • Anti-convulsants, such as pregabalin or gabapentin, at a dose of 300-600 mg/day for pregabalin and 1800-3600 mg/day for gabapentin 1
• Lifestyle changes, such as cardio-exercise and nutritional interventions, may also be beneficial in managing neuropathic pain 1.
• Additionally, meditation and mindfulness may contribute positively to pain management by activating multiple brain regions that contain a high expression of opioid receptors 1. It is essential to note that the treatment should be individualized, taking into account patient co-morbidities and costs, and optimization of glycaemic control and aggressive management of cardiovascular risk factors are also crucial 1.

From the Research

Treatment for Absent Deep Pain (DP) and Multiphasic Signals

There are no research papers provided that directly address the treatment for absent Deep Pain (DP) and multiphasic signals. The studies provided focus on the use of vitamin K, prothrombin complex concentrate, and alteplase in the treatment of coagulopathy, bleeding, and thromboembolic events, but do not mention absent Deep Pain (DP) or multiphasic signals.

Coagulopathy Treatment

• The use of vitamin K can help reverse coagulopathy in patients with elevated international normalized ratios (INR) 2, 3, 4.
• Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) can be effective in reducing blood loss and the need for red blood cell transfusions in patients with bleeding 5.
• Alteplase treatment can cause post-thrombolytic coagulopathy, which may contribute to bleeding risk 6.

Key Findings

• Vitamin K administration can lower excessively elevated INR faster than withholding warfarin alone 2.
• Intravenous vitamin K1 can be effective in treating severe bleeding in patients with chronic cholestasis 3.
• PCC administration can reduce mortality in trauma patients and decrease the need for red blood cell transfusions in bleeding patients 5.
• Alteplase dose and exposure parameters can influence the incidence of post-thrombolytic coagulopathy 6.
