As our understanding of chronic pain neurobiology continues to expand and novel neuromodulatory approaches emerge specifically targeting the pathophysiological underpinnings of chronic pain, clinicians who manage patients with chronic pain must be aware of these advances in science and medicine in order to provide the best possible care for their patients. Thus, this activity will begin with an overview of the prevalence and morbidity associated with chronic pain conditions and barriers that exist in effectively treating patients suffering from pain. Next, the faculty will review the current understanding and latest findings in the pathophysiology of chronic pain and highlight potential neuromodulatory targets for treatment. They will then go on to discuss a paradigm shift in the chronic pain management approach from an empirical methodology of trying-and-rejecting and symptom control towards mechanism-specific intervention and rational selection of analgesics in individual patients. Furthermore, they will discuss recent clinical trial data demonstrating efficacy and safety data of adjuvant analgesics in managing chronic pain effectively. The activity will conclude with an interactive question and answer session. Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to: 1. Identify appropriate pain assessment tools as an integral component of effective pain management 2. Describe the molecular and cellular mechanisms of chronic pain as they relate to rational selection of adjuvant analgesics 3. Summarize the efficacy and safety data of adjuvant analgesics in the management of chronic pain Target Audience This activity is designed for pain specialists, including anesthesiologists, physiatrists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and other healthcare professionals interested in the management of patients with chronic pain conditions.

USA Rx Only Rev 0209 syNChromed® ii druG iNfusioN system Brief summary: product technical manuals and the appropriate drug labeling must be reviewed prior to use for detailed disclosure. indications: US: Chronic intraspinal (epidural and intrathecal) infusion of preservativefree morphine sulfate sterile solution in the treatment of chronic intractable pain, chronic intrathecal infusion of preservative-free ziconotide sterile solution for the management of severe chronic pain, and chronic intrathecal infusion of Lioresal® Intrathecal (baclofen injection) for the management of severe spasticity; chronic intravascular infusion of floxuridine (FUDR) or methotrexate for the treatment of primary or metastatic cancer. Outside of US: Chronic infusion of drugs or fluids tested as compatible and listed in the product labeling. Contraindications: Infection; implant depth greater than 2.5 cm below skin; insufficient body size; spinal anomalies; drugs with preservatives, drug contraindications, drug formulations with pH ≤3, use of catheter access port (CAP) kit for refills or of refill kit for catheter access, blood sampling through CAP in vascular applications, use of Personal Therapy Manager to administer opioid to opioid-naïve patients or to administer ziconotide. Warnings: Non-indicated formulations may contain neurotoxic preservatives, antimicrobials, or antioxidants, or may be incompatible with and damage the system. failure to comply with all product instructions, including use of drugs or fluids not indicated for use with system, or of questionable sterility or quality, or use of non-medtronic components or inappropriate kits, can result in improper use, technical errors, increased risks to patient, tissue damage, damage to the system requiring revision or replacement, and/ or change in therapy, and may result in additional surgical procedures, a return of underlying symptoms, and/or a clinically significant or fatal drug under- or overdose. Refer to appropriate drug labeling for indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, dosage and administration information, screening procedures and underdose and overdose symptoms and methods of management. Physicians must be familiar with the drug stability information in the product technical manuals and must understand the dose relationship to drug concentration and pump flow rate before prescribing pump infusion. Implantation and ongoing system management must be performed by individuals trained in the operation and handling of the infusion system. An inflammatory mass that can result in serious neurological impairment, including paralysis, may occur at the tip of the implanted catheter. Clinicians should monitor patients on intraspinal therapy carefully for any new neurological signs or symptoms, change in underlying symptoms, or need for rapid dose escalation. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of drug under- or overdose, appropriate drug warnings and precautions regarding drug interactions, potential side effects, and signs and symptoms that require medical attention, including prodromal signs and symptoms of inflammatory mass. Failure to recognize signs and symptoms and seek appropriate medical intervention can result in serious injury or death. Instruct patients to notify their healthcare professionals of the implanted pump before medical tests/procedures, to return for refills at prescribed times, to carry their Medtronic device identification card, to avoid manipulating the pump through the skin, to consult with their clinician if the pump alarms and before traveling or engaging in activities that can stress the infusion system or involve pressure or temperature changes. Strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as short wave (RF) diathermy and MRI, can negatively interact with the pump and cause heating of the implanted pump, system damage, or changes in pump operation or flow rate, that can result in patient injury from tissue heating, additional surgical procedures, a return of underlying symptoms, and/or a clinically significant or fatal drug underdose or overdose. Avoid using shortwave (RF) diathermy within 30 cm of the pump or catheter. Effects of other types of diathermy (microwave, ultrasonic, etc.) on the pump are unknown. Drug infusion is suspended during MRI; for patients who can not safely tolerate suspension, use alternative drug delivery method during MRI. Patients receiving intrathecal baclofen therapy are at higher risk for adverse events, as baclofen withdrawal can lead to a life threatening condition if not treated promptly and effectively. Confirm pump status before and after MRI. Reference product labeling for information on sources of EMI, effects on patient and system, and steps to reduce risks from EMI. precautions: Monitor patients after device or catheter replacement for signs of underdose/overdose. Infuse preservative-free (intraspinal) saline or, for vascular applications, infuse heparinized solutions therapy at minimum flow rate if therapy is discontinued for an extended period of time to avoid system damage. EMI may interfere with programmer telemetry during pump programming sessions. EMI from the SynchroMed programmer may interfere with other active implanted devices (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator). adverse events: Include, but are not limited to, spinal/vascular procedure risks; infection; bleeding; tissue damage, damage to the system or loss of, or change in, therapy that may result in additional surgical procedures, a return of underlying symptoms, and/or a clinically significant or fatal drug underdose or overdose, due to end of device service life, failure of the catheter, pump or other system component, pump inversion, technical/programming errors, or improper use, including use of non-indicated formulations and/or not using drugs or system in accordance with labeling; pocket seroma, hematoma, erosion, infection; post-lumbar puncture (spinal headache); CSF leak and rare central nervous system pressure-related problems; hygroma; radiculitis; arachnoiditis; spinal cord bleeding/ damage; meningitis; neurological impairment (including paralysis) due to inflammatory mass; potential serious adverse effects from catheter fragments in intrathecal space, including potential to compromise antibiotic effectiveness for CSF infection; anesthesia complications; body rejection phenomena; local and systemic drug toxicity and related side effects; potential serious adverse effects from catheter placement in intravascular applications.

Dr. Buckenmaier is Chief of the Army Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management Initiative at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and Associate Professor at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. Dr. Buckenmaier at a medical facility in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan Q The U.S. Army’s Pain Management Task Force Final Report, which provides recommendations for a substantial overhaul of pain services in the military, has been approved. Is there anything you would like to say about the report? Dr. Buckenmaier: In the report’s executive summary is an excellent introduction that includes U.S. Army Surgeon General [Eric B.] Schoomaker’s vision of the task force (see www.painmed.org). While there [are] many centers around the country where pain providers are doing very good work in the military system, [Schoomaker] recognizes the system is fragmented and not necessarily consistent throughout the entire continuum. A major [responsibility] of the task force was to provide a holistic, interdisciplinary, but, most importantly, integrated approach to pain throughout the continuum—from point of injury back to the United States, so that a soldier Continued on page 4 • AAPM’s website— continuously updated, it contains a growing library of pain medicine resources, an interactive Members’ Community, information on upcoming meetings, and much more.

Concurrent Sessions 35 Friday, March 25 1:30–2:30 pm Room: Annapolis 3-4 Guidelines for the Treatment of Low Back Pain (203) Room: Woodrow Wilson CD 1:30–2:30 pm CRPS: Innovative Management Strategies (201) Based on the Cochrane methodology for systemic reviews and the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations for guideline production, this scientific session will discern the various methodologies, criteria, and safeguards used in the production of quality, unbiased, valid evidence-based guidelines. A pro/con format will compare and contrast the APS and ASIPP guidelines relative to the treatment of low back pain. Audience participation will address additional questions and concerns related to the treatment of low back pain. Patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) often present with severe, intractable pain that is not responsive to conventional treatment. Treatment of such patients is often daunting and many patients become debilitated with chronic pain. This scientific session addresses current concepts in the effective treatment and management of CRPS, including therapeutic and interventional modalities. This session discusses treatment strategies based upon current understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in patients presenting with this chronic pain syndrome. The Importance of Producing Quality Guidelines: An Overview Ray M. Baker, MD American Pain Society (APS) Low Back Pain Guidelines: A Pro/ Con Debate Moderator Richard W. Rosenquist, MD—In Defense of the APS Low Back Pain Guidelines Laxmaiah Manchikanti, MD—The APS Low Back Pain Guidelines: An Alternate View May L. Chin, MD Current Treatment Concepts in CRPS John C.

Desai, MD MPH 1:30–2:30 pm Room: Annapolis 1-2 Improving Outcomes of Interventional Pain Procedures (202) The potential for some type of complications directly related to interventional pain procedures remains inevitable. Although most of the complications are of minimal clinical impact, some carry the risk of being life threatening. Patient complications can be greatly reduced through utilization of a scrupulous history and physical examination, best practice techniques, and recognition of pre-procedure pathophysiology. This scientific session demonstrates the importance and effectiveness of adhering to interventional pain guidelines as a method of improving patient and procedural outcomes, encouraging best practices while maintaining enough latitude to alter these techniques when specialists demonstrate it is in the best interest of the patient. 1:30–2:30 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B Legal and Ethical Aspects of Pain Care (204) This scientific session provides critical information on the most pressing legal and ethical issues impacting the practice of pain medicine in America. Session faculty provide significant perspectives surrounding the new “Pill Mill” law in Texas, along with an overview of Washington State landmark legislative developments regarding opioid prescribing, and the proposed threat to access quality pain care in the State of Florida.

Concurrent Sessions 36 3–4 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B Army Pain Management: From Injury to Home (205) 3–4 pm Room: Annapolis 1-2 Physical Therapy for Non-Physiatrists (206) Historically, the military’s approach to pain has been centered on the use of opioid medications. While the success of opioids in pain management is well established, these medications have a significant side effect profile that can be lethal in the austere and chaotic military medical environment. Pain researchers continue to support an evolving appreciation that poorly managed pain can develop into a chronic disease of the nervous system. Physicians and patients often misconstrue that going to physical therapy will result in primary pain relief and in turn are disappointed to hear a report about (from the physician) or experience (as the patient) sore muscles and even increased pain. The primary end goal of exercise application is not the relief of pain but the improvement of flexibility, endurance, or strength. Sometimes when strength, endurance, or flexibility is improved, patients experience less pain due to improved mechanics, increased joint support, endorphin release, or other processes. Like all modalities used to treat pain, such as medication, injections, and stimulators, exercise does not help all patients and does not completely and permanently relieve many painful conditions. From 2009–2010, the U.S. Army Pain Management Task Force (PTF) performed a comprehensive review of pain medicine within the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) and the Department of Defense (DoD). Its findings included 105 recommendations in regard to a pain medicine strategy that was holistic and multidisciplinary, utilized the most current pain care modalities and technologies, and focused on optimizing the quality of life of the suffering pain patient. All of the PTF recommendations were designed to support the task force’s vision statement of “providing a standardized DoD and VHA vision and approach to pain management to optimize the care for warriors and their families.” This session provides an overview of the PTF’s Final Report and the corresponding comprehensive pain medicine strategy. Moderator Chester C. Buckenmaier, III, MD COL MC USA This educational session examines types of exercise and variations in intensity and frequency that result in different physiologic effects, along with multiple reviews regarding splinting for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This session also discusses prescription of physical therapy for specific conditions including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), low back pain, and shoulder and neck ailment. The focus is on writing the initial script, following up, and monitoring progress with the patient. Pearls for identifying optimal private physical therapy facilities will be offered.

Stanos, DO 3–4 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Blurring the Line Between Surgeons and Pain Physicians (207) The line between what has traditionally been the role of surgeon and that of the pain medicine physician is becoming increasingly difficult to define. With new treatments options, including cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques, the pain physician is now providing the patient with options that provide safe, quality interventional pain care options at a decreased delivery cost. This scientific session reviews these emerging interventional techniques and discusses their costs and overall impact on the healthcare delivery system. Moderator Timothy R.

Bowman, II, MD Patient-Centered Care Sessions The new patient-centered care sessions bridge together advanced medical management therapies and protocols of pain disease states with the latest advancements in interventional pain medicine. Practice Management Sessions Practice management sessions provide the latest information needed to successfully manage your thriving pain practice. Concurrent Sessions 3–4 pm Room: Annapolis 3-4 Using Outcomes Data to Improve Patient Care (208) The practice of pain medicine is under increasing demand to provide evidence that care delivered to patients produces improved patient outcomes. Without significant outcomes data, pain physicians have limited information to guide patient care and face increasing risk of non-payment from payors for services rendered. While the gold standard for evidence is a well-controlled clinical trial, such trials are often not possible in select patient populations or for select interventions. Because of the difficulty, expense, and time needed to link quality outcomes data to improved patient pain care, few programs have successfully integrated outcomes data collection. This educational session reviews the potential that valid outcomes data offers pain physicians and demonstrates two ways that this data can be collected as part of ongoing pain care. It clearly demonstrates how outcomes data can be used to guide individual patient care, as well as how the data may be used to guide efforts to improve the process of patient care. Additional information about providing clinical outcomes of interdisciplinary pain care and ways in which pain physicians can make informed data-driven decisions regarding resource utilization will also be discussed. Moderator Michael A. Ashburn, MD MPH MBA Can Outcomes Data Improve Outcomes? Michael A. Ashburn, MD MPH MBA Outcomes Data Collection Within a Busy Pain Practice Gilbert J. Fanciullo, MD MS The Use of Outcomes Data to Improve Patient Care Martin D. Cheatle, PhD Using a Patient Management System to Guide Data-Driven Decision Making Fred N. Davis, MD 4:30–5:30 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Pelvic Pain: A New Approach (209) Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition lasting longer than 6 months that often results in impaired function, signs of depression, and, more frequently, pain out of proportion to pathology. Pelvic afferent sensitization is caused by chronic irritation of visceral organs in the pelvis, their striated sphincters, muscular structures of the pelvic floor, or pudendal or other causes of neuralgias. This session will highlight the critical value of multidisciplinary team members for proper assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic pelvic pain. Faculty will further discuss the significant roles of different specialists, including but not limited to psychologists, gynecologists, urologists, and pain medicine interventionalists, and examine new diagnostic and interventional techniques (i.e., surgery and neuromodulation) to be utilized in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain. Moderator Leonardo Kapural, MD PhD A Gynecologist’s Approach: Novel Surgical Therapies for Chronic Pelvic Pain Tamer M. Yalcinkaya, MD Proposed Pain Medicine Algorithm for Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain Leonardo Kapural, MD PhD 37 4:30–5:30 pm Room: Annapolis 3-4 Regenerative Therapies: Clinical Applications and Evidence-Based Review (210) There have been considerable advances in understanding painful soft-tissue disorders, most notably chronic tendinopathies. The histopathology supports degeneration over an inflammatory model. It is unknown what interventions best stimulate the healing mechanisms necessary to induce tissue repair. This session delivers an understanding of the basic science of plateletrich plasma (PRP), which is rapidly gaining exposure and notoriety in the treatment of painful tendinopathies and related soft-tissue disorders, and is the foundation of the new frontier of what are being called regenerative therapies. It compares PRP to other regenerative therapies and their optimum clinical applications, and reviews the evidence for safety and efficacy. Moderator Joseph J. Ruane, DO PRP and Regenerative Therapies Ronald W. Hanson, MD PRP: State of the Evidence Joseph J. Ruane, DO 4:30–5:30 pm Room: Annapolis 1-2 Myofascial Pain: Bench to Bedside (211) Muscle pain in the context of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common condition in contemporary pain practice. Recently there have been tremendous breakthroughs in elucidating the pathophysiology of myofascial pain, including the quantification of biochemicals involved in this process. Furthermore, the role of sensitization in the development in MPS has increasingly been examined. This scientific session details the development of novel diagnostic techniques including microdialysis, magnetic resonance elastography, and ultrasound in the treatment of myo-fascial pain. Moderator Mehul J. Desai, MD MPH Neurobiology of Muscle Pain and Clinical Evaluation of Myofascial Pain Jay P. Shah, MD Treatment Options for Myofascial Pain Mehul J. Desai, MD MPH Concurrent Sessions 38 4:30–5:30 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B Patient-Centered Pain Care: Who Is Driving the Bus? (212) Pain medicine has struggled to establish pain as far more than a mere symptom of disease and as itself a legitimate focus of health care. This effort has succeeded in establishing pain assessment and management as a focus of regulatory attention (i.e., The Joint Commission) and quality improvement efforts (e.g., VA pain management initiatives). However, despite such efforts, reducing pain intensity among outpatients has generally not improved the quality of the pain patients’ lives. Cost expenditures on back pain care have greatly increased in the past decade without improvement in patient outcomes. The goals of outpatient pain care are usually disease centered or pain centered rather than patient centered. This can achieve symptom reduction over the short term but rarely achieves the long-term global improvement in patients’ ability to live their lives and achieve their personal goals. In the case of chronic opioid therapy, this pain-centered focus has led to an increase in opioid abuse and overdose but little improvement in chronic pain patients’ overall function. A narrow focus on eliminating pain may be no more patient centered than the focus on eliminating the pain-causing disease that it sought to replace. Incentives present within fee-for-service pain care have promoted use of disease-focused procedures but have not increased patient-centered outcomes. We postulate that the only sustainable path available to patient-centered pain care is the implementation of a case-managed measurement and value-based model that focuses on patient-centered pain care outcomes rather than pain reduction. Given that hydrocodone and acetaminophen are currently prescribed more than any other medication—125 million times per year—there is a great need to understand the necessary factors controlling the duration of prescription opioid use and pain surrounding surgery. This scientific session reviews the medical and societal problem of acute pain transitioning to chronic pain and the mechanisms and factors responsible for this transition—using surgery and low back injury as models for study. Additional treatments used to reduce the development of chronic pain and persistent opioid use will also be presented. Moderator Sean Mackey, MD PhD What Do We Know and How Can We Prevent It? Sean Mackey, MD PhD Why Do Some Patients Have Persistent Opioid Use Following Surgery? Ian R. Carroll, MD MS 1:45–2:45 pm Room: Annapolis 1-3 Evidence-Based Therapies in Cancer Pain Management (302) With the advances in the treatment of cancer, a greater number of patients suffer from acute and chronic pain related to the disease itself or secondary to the cancer-related treatments. This scientific session provides an overview of effective medical pain therapies as well as innovative interventional pain techniques that improve cancer pain outcomes and are readily available in tertiary pain research centers. Moderator Vitaly Gordin, MD Medical Management of Cancer-Related Pain This scientific education session examines recent and upcoming changes in patient-centered pain care that will affect all pain practitioners. Vitaly Gordin, MD Current Trends in Cancer Pain Management Allen W. Burton, MD Moderator Interventional Therapies in Cancer Pain Mark D. Sullivan, MD PhD Patient-Centered Pain Care: It’s Not About the Pain Mark D. Sullivan, MD PhD Aligning Clinical Outcomes, Public Policy, and Payer Incentives to Create Sustainable Pain Care Alex Cahana, MD Bernice R. Hecker, MD MHA FACC Saturday, March 26 1:45–2:45 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson CD When Acute Pain Becomes Chronic (301) Chronic pain remains an enormous challenge for the American population. With 10% of Americans developing chronic pain postsurgery, the development of postsurgical chronic pain is often thought to be secondary to sensitization of injured peripheral neurons. However, these mechanisms fail to explain: (a) why surgery does not lead to chronic pain in 90% of patients even though almost every surgery damages superficial and deep nerves and (b) why fear, anxiety, and depression (supraspinal pathology) best predict who will develop post-injury chronic pain. In addition to the problem of persistent pain after surgery, there is the societal problem of patients who continue to use opioids after surgery. Patient-Centered Care Sessions Allen W. Burton, MD 1:45–2:45 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B The Value Proposition in Health Care: Do You Want to Get Paid for What You Do? (303) One of the defining goals of medicine is to add “years to life” and “life to years.” The economics of medicine indicate that there is a defined healthcare “resource pie” that must be divided among all contemporary medical treatments. A logical, rational approach to this problem is to optimize the healthcare benefit per dollar expended. This scientific session examines and demonstrates how the methodology of the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) can be utilized by individual pain practitioners to calculate the value of any pain medical treatment or interventional pain procedures by simply determining the change in QALYs of the intervention. The new patient-centered care sessions bridge together advanced medical management therapies and protocols of pain disease states with the latest advancements in interventional pain medicine. Moderator and Faculty David W. Polly, MD Practice Management Sessions Practice management sessions provide the latest information needed to successfully manage your thriving pain practice. Concurrent Sessions 3–4 pm All About Opioids (304) Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Opioids are an important part of the multimodal painmanagement treatment plan and are often the drugs of choice in treating severe acute and chronic pain. Long-term opioid therapy provides much needed pain relief for many chronic pain conditions but carries the risks of several adverse outcomes, including but not limited to opioid-related hyperalgesia, an opioidinduced pain sensitivity. This scientific session will bring to the forefront the emerging science behind opioid-related hyperalgesia and the cumulative effect opioids have on the endocrine system. In addition, new opioid formulations and innovative opioid delivery systems will also be discussed. Moderator Lynn R. Webster, MD New Opioid Formulations and Delivery Systems Lynn R. Webster, MD Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia Martin S. Angst, MD Opioid Endocrinopathy Annika Rhodin, MD PhD 3–5:15 pm Room: Annapolis 1-3 Pain Treatment Debate: Mock Trial (305) Using a mock-trial format, this scientific session examines common modalities of pain treatments and their efficacies, as well as the pros and cons of established pain treatments. This scientific session also explains the unresolved conflicts in treatment algorithms for the spine patient, and the proper patient evaluation and selection for whom spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may produce favorable outcomes. Several pain therapies and interventional treatments will be discussed, including whether or not spine surgery is advantageous to the chronic pain patient, whether oral opioids work effectively for noncancer pain, whether SCS and peripheral devices are effective, and whether minimally invasive surgeries are optimal alternatives to a larger, open surgery. Moderator Timothy R. Deer, MD 39 3–4 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B Contracting with Payors (306) This scientific session provides an in-depth discussion of payor groups as well as the benefits of being “in network” with PPO/ HMO insurance companies versus “out of network” with insurance companies. This session will provide specific tools for interpreting payor contracts and working with carriers to make contracts more “specific” to the needs of pain medicine specialists. Scientific session attendees will learn how to successfully negotiate with the payors in order to achieve maximum reimbursement as well as explore what tools and data are necessary to develop successful contract negotiation with payors. Moderator and Faculty Trish Bukauskas, CMM CPC CMSCS CMPA 4:15–5:15 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson B Opioid Misuse in Cancer Patients: A Growing Problem (307) There is growing awareness about the misuse and abuse of prescription opioids. Additionally, the risk of addiction remains a valid concern when initiating long-term opioid therapy. The growing awareness of opioid misuse in the chronic pain population, along with increasing survivorship in cancer, has heightened awareness that the same risks, misuse, abuse, and addiction that exist in the chronic pain population may also effect the cancer pain population. This scientific session explores safe prescribing principles adapted from chronic pain literature, as well as effective avenues that mitigate the inherent risks and still allow clinicians to continue to treat pain successfully. Experts in the field of cancer pain will utilize a case discussion approach in their presentation of an algorithm of multidisciplinary care for the treatment of cancer pain in the at-risk population.

Multimodal Care Strategies for Multifaceted Problems 4:15–5:15 pm Room: Woodrow Wilson CD 2011: Coding Update and Beyond (308) 2011 has brought some changes to CPT® pain coding coupled with changes in relative value units (RVUs) for these and other codes. This session provides attendees with the latest coding changes along with an opportunity to discuss any challenging coding and reimbursement problems they may be facing in their practice. This session also addresses ICD-9-CM changes as well as relevant Medicare policy and reimbursement issues impacting pain medicine practices. Participants will have the opportunity to practice their coding skills using clinical case studies. Case studies will highlight common coding scenarios and include a discussion of modifier usage, multiple-procedure reporting, and the importance of ICD-9 coding on reimbursement. Moderator Fred N. Davis, MD Coding Update: 2011 Fred N. Davis, MD Coding Update and Beyond Emily H. Hill, PA Concurrent Sessions 40 Sunday, March 27 8:30–9:30 am Room: Annapolis 1-3 REMS Update—E-Prescribing (401) The Academy recognizes that prescription drug abuse, misuse, and diversion are a serious public health crisis that requires mindful solutions to ensure maximum safety for the American public. AAPM national leadership is shaping populationbased solutions to help the growing number of Americans whose quality of life and productivity is adversely affected by chronic pain conditions and diseases, while at the same time addressing concerns about the prescription drug abuse public health crisis. This plenary session provides a unique opportunity to discuss standards for disease management of chronic pain conditions and diseases, while assuring its pivotal role in developing professional and educational opportunities for all other physicians. Moderator 8:30–9:30 am Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Spine Imaging: The Significance of Structure and Morphology (403) All spine imaging has a “specificity challenge” because of a large background of asymptomatic degenerative disease, which increases with age. With radicular pain syndromes, concordance is essential. There is also a major sensitivity fault in typical spine imaging because pain syndromes may be dynamic (i.e., only seen with weight-bearing or specific postures). In axial pain syndromes, there is extensive evidence that only physiologic imaging parameters correlate with joint pain. This scientific session provides an extensive summary of published literature examining the relationship between structural imaging abnormalities and pain syndromes. Faculty will further examine the case-based evidence to provide a valuable prediction of discogenic pain from imaging findings. Scott M. Fishman, MD Moderator and Faculty REMS Update Timothy P. Maus, MD Scott M. Fishman, MD E-Prescribing Policy Aaron Gilson, PhD MS MSSW 8:30–9:30 am Room: Woodrow Wilson B Medical Marijuana for the Treatment of Chronic Pain (402) Controversy exists regarding the use of marijuana in the treatment of both acute and chronic pain. This controversy is further amplified by the current legal environment in which the use of marijuana for medical purposes, including the treatment of pain, is legal in some but not all states. Despite the legalization of marijuana for the treatment of pain in some regions of the United States, clinical efficacy has not been firmly established. This is of particular significance as the abuse potential of marijuana is recognized worldwide. Furthermore, the medical-legal liabilities and risks posed by medical marijuana have not been well defined for the specialty of pain medicine. This scientific session will further explore the following question: Should patients be placed at risk of developing iatrogenic medical conditions when the efficacy of the prescribed pharmacologic agent has not been firmly established? This scientific session also provides information about the pharmacology and efficacy of marijuana use for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Additionally, clinical implications of marijuana abuse and dependence, as well as medical-legal risks and liabilities that medical marijuana poses for the pain medicine physicians will be further defined. Moderator Mike W. Hooten, MD Evidence-Based Outcomes of Smoked Marijuana for Chronic Pain Mike W. Hooten, MD Pharmacology of Smoked Marijuana Ajay D.

Murphy, JD 9:45–10:45 am Room: Woodrow Wilson B National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pain Research: Optimizing Funding Through Grant Writing (404) A successful application for research funding requires careful planning, along with a keen understanding of grant writing within the appropriate funding system. This scientific session outlines the grant writing, peer review, and funding processes of grant application at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Faculty will provide critical information on NIH funding opportunities in pain research as well as defined funding mechanisms, peer review processes, and referral processes with the NIH. This scientific session provides an excellent opportunity to investigate NIH grant writing from a principal investigator’s perspective. Moderator Yu (Woody) Lin, MD PhD Funding Opportunities and Mechanisms at NIH Yu (Woody) Lin, MD PhD NIH Grant Writing from a Principal Investigator’s Perspective Sean Mackey, MD PhD NIH Peer Review and Referral Processes Weijia Ni, PhD 9:45–10:45 am Room: Annapolis 1-3 Social Media Revolution: Marketing in the Decade Ahead (405) Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn—social media is fundamentally changing the way the world communicates. More than 50% of the world’s population is younger than 30 years old and 96% of them belong to a social media site. Current research reports that the fastest growing segment on Facebook is 55–65-year-old females. This practice management session addresses how you can harness the power of social media to differentiate your pain practice from your peers, improve patient satisfaction, and continue to improve market share.

Concurrent Sessions 41 9:45–10:45 am Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Chronic Daily Headache (406) 11 am–Noon Room: Woodrow Wilson CD Psychological Therapies for Chronic Pain (409) Intractable migraine and cervicogenic headaches are among the most challenging conditions in headache and pain medicine, and understanding their pathophysiology is crucial to the application of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. In the course of treating chronic pain patients, several psychological modalities may be used to modify a variety of unhelpful neurological patterns, associations, or behaviors. These psychological modalities include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnosis. EMDR encompasses a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach. EMDR is an information-processing therapy using structured protocols of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies. Hypnosis uses a wakeful state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with diminished peripheral awareness. It is a mental state (state theory) or set of attitudes and beliefs (non-state theory) usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a long series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. This symposium emphasizes the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to treating headache disorders. It will review the pathophysiology, comorbidity, and advances in pharmacological therapies. Topics covered in this session include the emerging role of various interventional diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, the role of radiofrequency ablation, and neuromodulation. Moderator and Faculty Zahid H. Bajwa, MD Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Daily Headache Zahid H. Bajwa, MD 11 am–Noon Room: Woodrow Wilson B Optimizing Clinical Research Opportunities and Publishing in Pain Medicine (407) Several pain physicians have great interest in conducting clinical research but need tips as to the “how to” in getting started in the arena of beginning clinical investigation. This scientific session promises to be of great interest to both the pain medicine specialists in academia as well as the pain practitioner in private practice. Renowned research faculty will deliver hands-on clinician-scientist information regarding the process of beginning clinical research. In addition, the editor of Pain Medicine will discuss hands-on deliverables on how to get published in pain medicine. This session will allow ample time for a panel discussion in which attendees are able to bring up specific issues and questions to the expert faculty. Moderator Ajay D. Wasan, MD MSc How to Collaborate Across Institutional Boundaries Ajay D. Wasan, MD MSc How to Publish in Pain Medicine Rollin M. Gallagher, MD MPH 11 am–Noon Room: Annapolis 1-3 Cost Effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation and Intrathecal Polyanalgesia in the Management of Chronic Non-Malignant Pain (408) This scientific session provides a clear analysis of the cost impact in regards to spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug therapy in the management of chronic non-malignant pain. Expert faculty will provide evidence of the cost savings and superior pain control associated with these modalities when compared to other conventional medical management treatment options. This session also provides an update on the use of polyanalgesia, its appropriate indications, and its important role in the restoration of lost pain control. Moderator Krishna Kumar, MD MBBA Cost Effectiveness of SCS Krishna Kumar, MD MBBA Cost Impact and Clinical Benefits of Intrathecal Polyanalgesia in the Management of Chronic Non-Malignant Pain Sharon Bishop, MHlthSci BNurs Targeted for the non-psychiatric pain practitioner, this scientific session will explore each application in relationship to patient selection and patient exclusion through multiple case scenarios.

Wednesday, March 23 Thursday, March 24 11:45 am–1 pm Satellite Luncheon Symposium 11:45 am–1 pm Satellite Luncheon Symposium Rational Selection of Adjuvant Analgesics in Chronic Pain Management: Moving from Symptom Control Toward a Mechanism-Based Approach Chronic pain is widespread and often poorly managed. As our understanding of chronic pain neurobiology continues to expand and novel neuromodulatory approaches emerge specifically targeting the pathophysiological underpinnings of chronic pain, clinicians who manage patients with chronic pain must be aware of these advances in science and medicine in order to provide the best possible care for their patients. Thus, this activity will begin with an overview of the prevalence and morbidity associated with chronic pain conditions and barriers that exist in effectively treating patients suffering from pain. Next, the faculty will review the current understanding and latest findings in the pathophysiology of chronic pain and highlight potential neuromodulatory targets for treatment. They will then go on to discuss a paradigm shift in the chronic pain management approach from an empirical methodology of trying-and-rejecting and symptom control towards mechanism-specific intervention and rational selection of analgesics in individual patients. Furthermore, they will discuss recent clinical trial data demonstrating efficacy and safety data of adjuvant analgesics in managing chronic pain effectively. The activity will conclude with an interactive question and answer session. Chairperson Scott M. Fishman, MD Faculty Ajay D.

This symposium is supported by an educational grant from MEDA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 6:30–7:45 pm Satellite Dinner Symposium The Nuances and Complexities of Opioid Rotation: A PointCounterpoint Debate The goal when utilizing opioid therapy is to provide adequate pain relief balanced with tolerable adverse events (AEs). Individual patients’ responses to different opioids can vary significantly. If gradual dose titration yields treatment-limiting AEs or poor analgesia, there is a change in the patient’s clinical status, drug-drug interactions suggest the need for an opioid with different pharmacokinetic properties, or there is a preference or need for a different administration route or formulation, opioid rotation—switching from one opioid to another—can be a therapeutic option. There are now many opioids and formulations to choose from when utilizing opioid rotation. Physicians can reduce the 46 S a t e l l i t e S y mp o s i a risk of overdosing or underdosing as one opioid is discontinued and another is administered by selecting a safe and reasonably effective starting dose for the new opioid, followed by dose adjustment. This requires knowledge of an “equianalgesic dose table,” which provides broad estimates of the potency relationships between opioids and guidelines for dose adjustments to individualize therapy for each patient. The purpose of this educational activity is to provide physicians with rationale, strategies, and best practices when considering opioid rotation to improve clinical outcomes for patients with chronic pain.

Friday, March 25 7–8:15 am Satellite Breakfast Symposium Practitioner’s Edge—Strategies to Ensure the Safe Use of Opioid Therapy for Patients with Chronic Pain The purpose of this educational program will be to discuss effective strategies for the management of chronic pain that reduce the risk for opioid misuse, abuse, and diversion. Attendees will be provided with the latest published data regarding risk management strategies and benefits of abuse-deterrent opioid formulations for chronic pain, the consequences of inadequate pain relief, potential barriers to provision of adequate pain relief, and strategies to overcome these barriers. One key barrier to be addressed is the fear of opioid abuse, misuse, diversion, and addiction. In this program, video vignette case studies will be utilized to illustrate clinically relevant examples of patients with varying levels of risk for opioid misuse, abuse, diversion, and addiction. Faculty panel members will work with audience members to identify optimal treatment strategies while discussing the latest scientific information with regard to pain management. A multimedia presentation will be interspersed with audience response questions to further engage the audience and provide data for rigorous panel discussion. Practitioner’s Edge is an innovative symposium format that provides attendees with cutting-edge medical education in a peer-to-peer discussion setting.

Noon–1:15 pm Satellite Luncheon Symposium Osteoarthritis: From Biomarkers to New Strategies for Pain Management Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic and painful degenerative joint disorder, affects nearly 27 million U.S. adults. It is currently the leading source of physical disability with severely impaired quality of life due to pain and loss of joint function. Scientific advances in the field of OA include increased understanding of the complex etiology of the disease, as well as the concerted efforts to establish and validate systemic (serum or urine) biomarkers to measure and predict the full spectrum of disease progression. This symposium will include an update on the most recent advances in the establishment of systemic biomarkers for OA. The management of OA pain is addressed by several recent guidelines, but there is considerable variation in some of the recommendations, particularly regarding the appropriate use of opioids. In this symposium the most recent evidence, as well as the various recommendations for the use of different drug classes, including topical agents, will be discussed.

(5.11) 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Butrans is indicated for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring a continuous, around-the-clock opioid analgesic for an extended period of time. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Butrans is contraindicated in: • patients who have significant respiratory depression • patients who have severe bronchial asthma • patients who have or are suspected of having paralytic ileus • patients who have known hypersensitivity to any of its components or the active ingredient, buprenorphine • the management of acute pain or in patients who require opioid analgesia for a short period of time • the management of post-operative pain, including use after out-patient or day surgeries • the management of mild pain • the management of intermittent pain (e.g., use on an as needed basis [prn]) 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Respiratory Depression Respiratory depression is the chief hazard of Butrans. Respiratory depression occurs more frequently in elderly or debilitated patients as well as those suffering from conditions accompanied by hypoxia or hypercapnia when even moderate therapeutic doses may dangerously decrease pulmonary ventilation, and when opioids, including Butrans, are given in conjunction with other agents that depress respiration. Profound sedation, unresponsiveness, infrequent deep (“sighing”) breaths or atypical snoring frequently accompany opioid-induced respiratory depression. Use Butrans with extreme caution in patients with any of the following: • significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale • other risk of substantially decreased respiratory reserve such as asthma, severe obesity, sleep apnea, myxedema, clinically significant kyphoscoliosis, and central nervous system (CNS) depression • hypoxia • hypercapnia • pre-existing respiratory depression 5.2 CNS Depression Butrans may cause somnolence, dizziness, alterations in judgment and alterations in levels of consciousness, including coma. 5.3 Interactions with Alcohol, Central Nervous System Depressants, and Illicit Drugs Hypotension, profound sedation, coma or respiratory depression may result if Butrans is added to a regimen that includes other CNS depressants (e.g., sedatives, anxiolytics, hypnotics, neuroleptics, muscle relaxants, other opioids). Therefore, use caution when deciding to initiate therapy with Butrans in patients who are taking other CNS depressants. Take into account the types of other medications being taken, the duration of therapy with them, and the patient’s response to those medicines, including the degree of tolerance that has developed to CNS depression. Consider the patient’s use, if any, of alcohol and/or illicit drugs that cause CNS depression. If the decision to begin Butrans is made, start with a lower Butrans dose than usual. Consider using a lower initial dose of a CNS depressant when given to a patient currently taking Butrans due to the potential of additive CNS depressant effects. 5.4 QTc Prolongation A positive-controlled study of the effects of Butrans on the QTc interval in healthy subjects demonstrated no clinically meaningful effect at a Butrans dose of 10 mcg/hour; however, a Butrans dose of 40 mcg/hour (given as two Butrans 20 mcg/hour Transdermal Systems) was observed to prolong the QTc interval [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)]. Consider these observations in clinical decisions when prescribing Butrans to patients with hypokalemia or clinically unstable cardiac disease, including: unstable atrial fibrillation, symptomatic bradycardia, unstable congestive heart failure, or active myocardial ischemia. Avoid the use of Butrans in patients with a history of Long QT Syndrome or an immediate family member with this condition, or those taking Class IA antiarrhythmic medications (e.g., quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide) or Class III antiarrhythmic medications (e.g., sotalol, amiodarone, dofetilide). 5.5 Head Injury The respiratory depressant effects of opioids, including Butrans, include carbon dioxide retention, which can lead to an elevation of cerebrospinal fluid pressure. This effect may be exaggerated in the presence of head injury, intracranial lesions, or other sources of pre-existing increased intracranial pressure. Butrans may produce miosis that is independent of ambient light, and altered consciousness, either of which may obscure neurologic signs associated with increased intracranial pressure in persons with head injuries. 5.6 Hypotensive Effects Butrans may cause severe hypotension. There is an added risk to individuals whose ability to maintain blood pressure has been compromised by a depleted blood volume, or after concurrent administration with drugs such as phenothiazines or other agents which compromise vasomotor tone. Buprenorphine may produce orthostatic hypotension in ambulatory patients. Administer Butrans with caution to patients in circulatory shock, since vasodilation produced by the drug may further reduce cardiac output and blood pressure. 5.7 Misuse, Abuse, and Diversion of Opioids Butrans contains buprenorphine, a partial agonist at the mu opioid receptor and a Schedule III controlled substance. Opioid agonists have potential for being abused, are sought by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders, and are subject to criminal diversion. Butrans can be abused in a manner similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit. Consider this potential for abuse when prescribing or dispensing Butrans in situations where the prescriber or pharmacist is concerned about an increased risk of misuse, abuse, or diversion. Monitor all patients receiving opioids for signs of abuse, misuse, and addiction. Furthermore, assess patients for their potential for opioid abuse prior to being prescribed opioid therapy. Persons at increased risk for opioid abuse include those with a personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse) or mental illness (e.g., depression). Opioids may still be appropriate for use in these patients; however, they will require intensive monitoring for signs of abuse. Notwithstanding concerns about abuse, addiction, and diversion, provide proper management of pain. However, all patients treated with opioid agonists require careful monitoring for signs of abuse and addiction, since use of opioid agonist analgesic products carries the risk of addiction even under appropriate medical use [see Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2)]. Data are not available to establish the true incidence of addiction in patients with chronic pain treated with opioids. Abuse of Butrans poses a significant risk to the abuser that could potentially result in overdose or death [see Drug Abuse and Dependence (9)]. Contact your state professional licensing board or state controlled substances authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product. 5.8 Hepatotoxicity Although not observed in Butrans chronic pain clinical trials, cases of cytolytic hepatitis and hepatitis with jaundice have been observed in individuals receiving sublingual buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid dependence, both in clinical trials and through post-marketing adverse event reports. The spectrum of abnormalities ranges from transient asymptomatic elevations in hepatic transaminases to case reports of hepatic failure, hepatic necrosis, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy. In many cases, the presence of pre-existing liver enzyme abnormalities, infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus, concomitant usage of other potentially hepatotoxic drugs, and ongoing injection drug abuse may have played a causative or contributory role. In other cases, insufficient data were available to determine the etiology of the abnormality. The possibility exists that buprenorphine had a causative or contributory role in the development of the hepatic abnormality in some cases. For patients at increased risk of hepatotoxicity (e.g., patients with a history of excessive alcohol intake, intravenous drug abuse or liver disease), baseline and periodic monitoring of liver function during treatment with Butrans is recommended. A biological and etiological evaluation is recommended when a hepatic event is suspected. 5.9 Application Site Skin Reactions In rare cases, severe application site skin reactions with signs of marked inflammation including “burn,” “discharge,” and “vesicles” have occurred. Time of onset varies, ranging from days to months following the initiation of Butrans treatment. Instruct patients to promptly report the development of severe application site reactions and discontinue therapy. 5.10 Anaphylactic/Allergic Reactions Cases of acute and chronic hypersensitivity to buprenorphine have been reported both in clinical trials and in the post-marketing experience. The most common signs and symptoms include rashes, hives, and pruritus. Cases of bronchospasm, angioneurotic edema, and anaphylactic shock have been reported. A history of hypersensitivity to buprenorphine is a contraindication to the use of Butrans. 5.11 Application of External Heat Advise patients and their caregivers to avoid exposing the Butrans application site and surrounding area to direct external heat sources, such as heating pads or electric blankets, heat or tanning lamps, saunas, hot tubs, and heated water beds, etc., while wearing the system because an increase in absorption of buprenorphine may occur [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Advise patients against exposure of the Butrans application site and surrounding area to hot water or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. There is a potential for temperature-dependent increases in buprenorphine released from the system resulting in possible overdose and death. 5.12 Patients with Fever Patients wearing Butrans systems who develop fever or increased core body temperature due to strenuous exertion should be monitored for opioid side effects and the Butrans dose should be adjusted if necessary [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. 5.13 Driving and Operating Machinery Butrans may impair the mental and physical abilities needed to perform potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car or operating machinery. Caution patients accordingly. 5.14 Seizures Butrans, as with other opioids, may aggravate seizure disorders, may lower seizure threshold, and therefore, may induce seizures in some clinical settings. Use Butrans with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorders. 5.15 Special Risk Groups Use Butrans with caution in the following conditions, due to increased risk of adverse reactions: alcoholism; delirium tremens; adrenocortical insufficiency; CNS depression; debilitation; kyphoscoliosis associated with respiratory compromise; myxedema or hypothyroidism; prostatic hypertrophy or urethral stricture; severe impairment of hepatic, pulmonary or renal function; and toxic psychosis. 5.16 Use in Pancreatic/Biliary Tract Disease and Other Gastrointestinal Conditions Butrans may cause spasm of the sphincter of Oddi. Use with caution in patients with biliary tract disease, including acute pancreatitis. Opioids, including Butrans, may cause increased serum amylase. The administration of Butrans may obscure the diagnosis or clinical course in patients with acute abdominal conditions. Use Butrans with caution in patients who are at risk of developing ileus. 5.17 Use in Addiction Treatment Butrans has not been studied and is not approved for use in the management of addictive disorders. 5.18 MAO Inhibitors Butrans is not recommended for use in patients who have received MAO inhibitors within 14 days, because severe and unpredictable potentiation by MAO inhibitors has been reported with opioid analgesics. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions described elsewhere in the labeling include: • Respiratory Depression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] • CNS Depression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] • QTc Prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)] • Hypotensive Effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)] • Application Site Skin Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)] • Anaphylactic/Allergic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)] • Seizures [see Warnings and Precautions (5.14)] 6.1 Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. A total of 5415 patients were treated with Butrans in controlled and open-label chronic pain clinical trials. Nine hundred twenty-four subjects were treated for approximately six months and 183 subjects were treated for approximately one year. The clinical trial population consisted of patients with persistent moderate to severe pain. The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) reported by patients in clinical trials comparing Butrans 10 or 20 mcg/hour to placebo are shown in Tables 2, and comparing Butrans 20 mcg/hour to Butrans 5 mcg/hour are shown in Table 3 below: Table 2: Adverse Events Reported in ≥ 5% of Patients during the Open-Label Titration Period and DoubleBlind Treatment Period: Opioid-Naïve Patients Open-Label Double-Blind Titration Period Treatment Period Butrans Butrans Placebo MedDRA (N = 1024) (N = 256) (N = 283) Preferred Term Nausea 23% 13% 11% Table 3: Adverse Events Reported in ≥ 5% of Patients during the Open-Label Titration Period and DoubleBlind Treatment Period: Opioid-Experienced Patients Open-Label Titration Period Butrans Double-Blind Treatment Period Butrans 20 Butrans 5 MedDRA (N = 1160) (N = 219) Preferred Term (N = 221) Nausea 15% 12% 8% Headache 11% 11% 5% Application site pruritus 9% 13% 5% Somnolence 6% 5% 2% Vomiting 5% 5% 2% Dizziness 5% 5% 2% Constipation 4% 6% 3% Application site erythema 3% 10% 5% Application site rash 3% 9% 6% Application site irritation 2% 5% 3% The following table lists adverse events that were reported in at least 2.0% of patients in four placebo/active-controlled titration-to-effect trials.

Based on this observation, pharmacokinetics of Butrans is not expected to be affected by co-administration of CYP3A4 inhibitors. However, certain protease inhibitors (PIs) with CYP3A4 inhibitory activity such as atazanavir and atazanavir/ritonavir resulted in elevated levels of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine following sublingual administration of buprenorphine and naloxone. Patients in this study reported increased sedation, and symptoms of opiate excess have been found in post-marketing reports of patients receiving sublingual buprenorphine and atazanavir with and without ritonavir concomitantly. It should be noted that atazanavir is both a CYP3A4 and UGT1A1 inhibitor. As such, the drug-drug interaction potential for buprenorphine with CYP3A4 inhibitors is likely to be dependent on the route of administration as well as the specificity of enzyme inhibition [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. CYP3A4 Inducers The interaction between buprenorphine and CYP3A4 enzyme inducers has not been studied; therefore it is recommended that patients receiving Butrans be closely monitored for reduced efficacy if inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g. phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin) are co-administered [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 7.2 Non-Metabolic Drug Interactions Benzodiazepines There have been a number of reports regarding coma and death associated with the misuse and abuse of the combination of buprenorphine and benzodiazepines. In many, but not all of these cases, buprenorphine was misused by self-injection of crushed buprenorphine tablets. Preclinical studies have shown that the combination of benzodiazepines and buprenorphine altered the usual ceiling effect on buprenorphine-induced respiratory depression, making the respiratory effects of buprenorphine appear similar to those of full opioid agonists. Prescribe Butrans with caution to patients taking benzodiazepines or other drugs that act on the central nervous system regardless of whether these drugs are taken on the advice of a physician or are being abused/ misused. Warn patients that it is extremely dangerous to self-administer benzodiazepines while taking Butrans, and caution patients to use benzodiazepines concurrently with Butrans only as directed by their physician. Skeletal Muscle Relaxants Butrans, like other opioids, may interact with skeletal muscle relaxants to enhance neuromuscular blocking action and increase respiratory depression. 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with Butrans in pregnant women. Butrans should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the mother and the fetus. In animal studies, buprenorphine caused an increase in the number of stillborn offspring, reduced litter size, and reduced offspring growth in rats at maternal exposure levels that were approximately 10 times that of human subjects who received one Butrans 20 mcg/ hour, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Teratogenic Effects Studies in rats and rabbits demonstrated no evidence of teratogenicity following Butrans or subcutaneous (SC) administration of buprenorphine during the period of major organogenesis. Rats were administered up to one Butrans 20 mcg/hour every 3 days (gestation days 6, 9, 12, & 15) or received daily SC buprenorphine up to 5 mg/kg (gestation days 6-17). Rabbits were administered four Butrans 20 mcg/ hour every 3 days (gestation days 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, & 19) or received daily SC buprenorphine up to 5 mg/kg (gestation days 6-19). No teratogenicity was observed at any dose. Area under the curve (AUC) values for buprenorphine with Butrans application and SC injection were approximately 140 and 110 times that of human subjects who received the MRHD of one Butrans 20 mcg/hour. Non-Teratogenic Effects In a peri- and post-natal study conducted in pregnant and lactating rats, administration of buprenorphine either as Butrans or SC buprenorphine was associated with toxicity to offspring. Buprenorphine was present in maternal milk. Pregnant rats were administered 1/4 of one Butrans 5 mcg/ hour every 3 days or received daily SC buprenorphine at doses of 0.05, 0.5, or 5 mg/kg from gestation day 6 to lactation day 21 (weaning). Administration of Butrans or SC buprenorphine at 0.5 or 5 mg/kg caused maternal toxicity and an increase in the number of stillborns, reduced litter size, and reduced offspring growth at maternal exposure levels that were approximately 10 times that of human subjects who received the MRHD of one Butrans 20 mcg/hour. Maternal toxicity was also observed at the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for offspring. 8.2 Labor and Delivery The safety of Butrans given during labor and delivery has not been established. Opioids cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression and psychophysiologic effects in neonates. Butrans is not recommended for use in women immediately prior to and during labor, when use of shorter-acting analgesics or other analgesic techniques are more appropriate. Occasionally, opioid analgesics may prolong labor through actions which temporarily reduce the strength, duration and frequency of uterine contractions. However this effect is not consistent and may be offset by an increased rate of cervical dilatation, which tends to shorten labor. Closely observe neonates whose mothers received opioid analgesics during labor for signs of respiratory depression. Have a specific opioid antagonist, such as naloxone or nalmefene, available for reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression in the neonate. Neonates whose mothers have been taking opioids chronically may also exhibit withdrawal signs, either at birth and/ or in the nursery, because they have developed physical dependence. This is not, however, synonymous with addiction. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, unlike opioid withdrawal syndrome in adults, may be life-threatening and should be treated according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. 8.3 Nursing Mothers Buprenorphine has been detected in low concentrations in human milk. Breast-feeding is not advised in mothers treated with Butrans. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of Butrans in patients under 18 years of age has not been established. Butrans is not recommended for use in pediatric patients. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of the total number of subjects in the clinical trials (5,415), Butrans was administered to 1,377 patients aged 65 years and older. Of those, 457 patients were 75 years of age and older. In the clinical program, the incidences of selected Butrans-related AEs were higher in older subjects. The incidences of application site AEs were slightly higher among subjects <65 years of age than those ≥ 65 years of age for both Butrans and placebo treatment groups. In a single-dose study of healthy elderly and healthy young subjects treated with Butrans 10 mcg/hour, the pharmacokinetics and safety outcomes were similar. In a separate dose-escalation safety study, the pharmacokinetics in the healthy elderly and hypertensive elderly subjects taking thiazide diuretics were similar to those in the healthy young adults. In the elderly groups evaluated, adverse event rates were similar to or lower than rates in healthy young adult subjects, except for constipation and urinary retention, which were more common in the elderly. Although specific dose adjustments on the basis of advanced age are not required for pharmacokinetic reasons, use caution in the elderly population to ensure safe use [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment In a study utilizing intravenous buprenorphine, peak plasma levels (Cmax) and exposure (AUC) of buprenorphine in patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment did not increase as compared to those observed in subjects with normal hepatic function. Butrans has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and should be administered with caution [see Dosage and Administration (2.4), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3]). 8.7 Renal Impairment The pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine is not altered during the course of renal failure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3]). 8.8 Gender Differences There was no significant gender effect observed for Butrans with respect to either the incidence of adverse events or pharmacokinetics [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 9 DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE 9.1 Controlled Substance Butrans contains buprenorphine, a mu opioid partial agonist and Schedule III controlled substance. Butrans can be abused and is subject to misuse, abuse, addiction and criminal diversion. 9.2 Abuse Abuse of Butrans poses a hazard of overdose and death. This risk is increased with compromise of the Butrans Transdermal System and with concurrent abuse of alcohol or other substances. Butrans has been diverted for non-medical use. All patients treated with opioids, including Butrans, require careful monitoring for signs of abuse and addiction, because use of opioid analgesic products carries the risk of addiction even under appropriate medical use. Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Opioid drugs are sought by people with substance use disorders (abuse or addiction, the latter of which is also called “substance dependence”) and criminals who supply them by diverting medicines out of legitimate distribution channels. Butrans is a target for theft and diversion. “Drug-seeking” behavior is very common in persons with substance use disorders. Drug-seeking tactics include, but are not limited to, emergency calls or visits near the end of office hours, refusal to undergo appropriate examination, testing or referral, repeated “loss” of prescriptions, altering or forging of prescriptions and reluctance to provide prior medical records or contact information for other treating physician(s). “Doctor shopping” to obtain additional prescriptions is common among people with untreated substance use disorders, and criminals who divert controlled substances. Abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. Physicians should be aware that addiction may not be accompanied by concurrent tolerance and symptoms of physical dependence in all addicts. In addition, abuse of opioids can occur in the absence of true addiction and is characterized by misuse for nonmedical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. Since Butrans may be diverted for non-medical use, careful record-keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests is strongly advised. The risks of misuse and abuse should be considered when prescribing or dispensing Butrans. Concerns about abuse and addiction, should not prevent the proper management of pain, however. Treatment of pain should be individualized, balancing the potential benefits and risks for each patient. Butrans is intended for transdermal use only. Compromising the transdermal delivery system will result in the uncontrolled delivery of buprenorphine and pose a significant risk to the abuser that could result in overdose and death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The risk of fatal overdose is further increased when buprenorphine is abused concurrently with alcohol or other CNS depressants, including other opioids and benzodiazepines [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Abuse may occur by applying the transdermal system in the absence of legitimate purpose, or by swallowing, snorting or injecting buprenorphine extracted from the transdermal system. Proper assessment of the patient, proper prescribing practices, periodic re-evaluation of therapy, proper dispensing and correct storage and handling are appropriate measures that help to limit misuse and abuse of opioid drugs. Careful record-keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests is strongly advised. Healthcare professionals should contact their State Professional Licensing Board or State Controlled Substances Authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product. 9.3 Physical Dependence and Tolerance Tolerance is a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more of the drug’s effects over time. Tolerance could occur to both the desired and undesired effects of drugs, and may develop at different rates for different effects. Physical dependence to an opioid is manifested by characteristic withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation of a drug, significant dose reduction, or upon administration of an antagonist. Physical dependence and tolerance are not unusual during chronic opioid analgesic therapy. The opioid abstinence or withdrawal syndrome in adults is characterized by some or all of the following: restlessness, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, yawning, perspiration, chills, piloerection, myalgia, mydriasis, irritability, anxiety, backache, joint pain, weakness, abdominal cramps, insomnia, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, or increased blood pressure, respiratory rate, or heart rate [see Use In Specific Populations (8.2)] Infants born to mothers physically dependent on opioids will also be physically dependent and may exhibit respiratory difficulties and withdrawal symptoms. In general, opioids should not be abruptly discontinued [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. 10 OVERDOSAGE 10.1 Symptoms Acute overdosage with Butrans can be manifested by respiratory depression, somnolence progressing to stupor or coma, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, constricted pupils, bradycardia, hypotension, partial or complete airway obstruction, atypical snoring and death. Deaths due to overdose have been reported with abuse and misuse of buprenorphine. Review of case reports has indicated that the risk of fatal overdose is further increased when Butrans is abused concurrently with alcohol or other CNS depressants, including other opioids. 10.2 Treatment In cases of overdose, remove Butrans immediately. It is important to take the pharmacokinetic profile of Butrans into account when treating overdose. Even in the face of improvement, continued medical monitoring is required because of the possibility of extended effects as opioid continues to be absorbed from the skin. After removal of Butrans, the mean buprenorphine concentrations decrease approximately 50% in 12 hours (range 10-24 hours) with an apparent terminal half-life of approximately 26 hours. Due to this long apparent terminal half-life, patients may require monitoring and treatment for at least 24 hours. In the treatment of Butrans overdosage, primary attention should be given to the maintenance of a patent airway, and of effective ventilation (clearance of CO2) and oxygenation, whether by spontaneous, assisted or controlled respiration. Supportive measures (including oxygen and vasopressors) should be employed in the management of circulatory shock and pulmonary edema accompanying overdose as indicated. Cardiac arrest or arrhythmias may require cardiac massage or defibrillation. Naloxone may not be effective in reversing any respiratory depression produced by buprenorphine. High doses of naloxone, 10-35 mg/70 kg, may be of limited value in the management of buprenorphine overdose. The onset of naloxone effect may be delayed by 30 minutes or more. Doxapram hydrochloride (a respiratory stimulant) has also been used. Since the duration of action of Butrans may exceed that of the antagonist, keep the patient under continued surveillance and administer repeated doses of the antagonist according to the antagonist labeling as needed to maintain adequate respiration. Maintenance of adequate ventilation is essential when managing Butrans overdose and more important than specific antidote treatment with an opioid antagonist such as naloxone. Do not administer opioid antagonists in the absence of clinically significant respiratory or circulatory depression secondary to buprenorphine overdose. In patients who are physically dependent on any opioid agonist including Butrans, an abrupt partial or complete reversal of opioid effects may precipitate an acute abstinence or withdrawal syndrome. The severity of the withdrawal syndrome produced will depend on the degree of physical dependence and the dose of the antagonist administered. See the prescribing information for the specific opioid antagonist for details of its proper use. 17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION See MEDICATION GUIDE (including Instructions for Use) as appended at the end of the full prescribing information. 17.1 Information for Patients and Caregivers Provide the following information to patients receiving Butrans or their caregivers: 1. Advise patients to carefully follow instructions for the application, removal, and disposal of Butrans. Each week, apply Butrans to a different site based on the 8 described skin sites, with a minimum of 3 weeks between applications to a previously used site. 2. Advise patients to apply Butrans to a hairless or nearly hairless skin site. If none are available, instruct patients to clip the hair at the site and not to shave the area. Instruct patients not to apply to irritated skin. If the application site must be cleaned, use clear water only. Soaps, alcohol, oils, lotions, or abrasive devices should not be used. Allow the skin to dry before applying Butrans. 3. Advise the patient to wear Butrans continuously for 7 days. 4. Advise patients to talk to their doctor if they have any pain or bothersome side effects while they are using Butrans. The dose may have to be changed. 5. Advise patients not to increase or decrease the Butrans dose they are using without first speaking to their doctor. 6. Advise patients that Butrans may impair mental and/or physical ability required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks (e.g., driving, operating heavy machinery). 7. Advise patients who are taking Butrans not to drink alcohol. They should also avoid taking sleep aids and CNS depressants, unless a doctor prescribes them. 8. Advise patients that while wearing Butrans, they should avoid exposing the Butrans site to external heat sources, such as heating pads, electric blankets, heat lamps, saunas, hot tubs, heated water beds, etc, because an increase in absorption of buprenorphine may occur that could lead to an overdose or death. 9. Advise women who become pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant, to ask their doctor about the effects that Butrans may have on themselves and their pregnancy. 10. Advise patients that buprenorphine is a drug that some people may abuse. They should use Butrans only as directed, and not give it to anyone other than the individual for whom it was prescribed. Protect it from theft. Be especially careful to keep this medication away from children and pets. 11. Advise patients to tell their doctor if they have a history of serious skin reactions to adhesives, as they may not be able to use Butrans. 12. Advise patients who must stop using Butrans that they should speak with their doctor to manage the transition to other pain medications.
