Zusammenfassung
In der Schmerztherapie sind die chronobiologischen Variablen zirkadianer Schmerzrhythmus, tagesrhythmische Analgetikawirkung und individueller tagesrhythmischer Analgetikabedarf zu beachten. Die Vielzahl der Untersuchungen zur Chronobiologie des Schmerzes ergibt kein einheitliches Bild. Es bedarf weiterer Arbeiten mit standardisiertem Protokoll, um Erkrankungen, Schmerzursachen und der analgetischen Wirkung von Opioiden einheitlichere rhythmische Muster zuordnen zu können. Es ist deutlich, dass jeder Patient Schmerz und dessen Intensität im Verlauf des Tages individuell wahrnimmt. Mit der Gabe von Analgetika in konstanter oder kontinuierlicher Dosierung werden zeitliche Schwankungen in der Schmerzempfindung ignoriert und eine große Zahl chronobiologischer Studien unbeachtet gelassen, die den Einfluss biologischer Rhythmen auf die Pharmakokinetik und -dynamik von Analgetika nachweisen. Da unterschiedliche Schmerzen unterschiedliche Rhythmen aufweisen, d. h. die jeweiligen höchsten Schmerzintensitäten zu unterschiedlichen Tageszeiten auftreten, sollte darauf mit flexiblen Gaben von Analgetika reagiert werden. Es ist zudem wichtig, dass die medikamentöse Therapie individuell am Schmerzrhythmus des Patienten sowie an Art und Ursache des Schmerzes angepasst werden kann. Gerade starke und stärkste Schmerzen bedürfen eines besonders sorgsamen Umgangs mit der Therapie. Eine flexible Dosierung je nach Schmerzstärke und eine schnelle Dosisanpassung sind in der modernen Schmerztherapie unverzichtbar. Von daher eignen sich Opioide, die gut steuerbar und flexibel einsetzbar sind, besser, um den individuellen Schmerz der Patienten behandeln zu können, als starre Therapieschemata z. B. mit ultraretardierter oraler oder transdermaler Galenik.
Abstract
In pain therapy the chronobiological parameters circadian pain rhythm, circadian efficacy of analgesics and individual circadian need of analgesics should be considered. The results of multiple studies in chronobiology are not consistent indeed. Therefore, further studies with standardised protocols are needed that allow assigning more consistent rhythms to diseases, pain causes and analgesic efficacy of opioids. Considerably, each patient perceives pain and its intensity individually during the time of the day. By administration of analgesics over a constant or continuous dosage, time fluctuations in pain perception and multiple studies in chronobiology are ignored that prove the influence of biological rhythms on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of analgesics. As different types of pain show different rhythms (highest pain intensities arising at different times of the day) analgesics have to be dosed flexibly. Also very important is that drug therapy can be adjusted individually to the pain rhythm of the patient as well as to the type and cause of pain. Especially in severe pain, therapy should be particularly careful. A flexible dosage depending on pain intensity and a fast dose adjustment are essentials of a modern pain therapy. Therefore, opioids that are well assessable and flexible to use are better suited to treat the individual pain of the patient than rigid ultra-long released oral or transdermal systems.
