PatientswithMSCCmayhaveautonomicdysreflexia.Thistendstooccurintheacute phaseofparalysisorwithhighcordlesions(aboveT6).Signsinclude:
Hypotensionorhypertension Hypoventilation Bradycardia.
Investigations
Bloods
FBC,U&E,LFT,INR Serumglucose/CBGmayberaisedsecondarytosteroiduse Boneprofile(checkforhypercalcaemia) If unknown primary malignancy, perform myeloma screen (protein electrophoresis, immunoglobulins,BenceJonesprotein)andPSA.
Imaging
MRIwholespine:
Mustbeperformedwithin24hoursifneurologicalsymptomsorsignsarepresent,orsoonerif pressingneedforemergencysurgery
Within7daysifmoderateclinicalsuspicionwithoutneurologicalsymptomsorsigns IfMRIiscontraindicated(e.g.sometypesofpacemaker),discussoptionswithMSCCcoordinator IfMRIisurgentlyindicatedbutisunavailable,transferthepatienttoanotherhospitalthathasMRI availability Do not perform plain radiographs of the spine to make or exclude the diagnosis of spinal metastasesorMSCC.

Analgesia:
Offeranalgesiatitratedtorequirements
Laxativesshouldbegivenwithopiate-basedanalgesia
Ifintractablepain,considerspecialistpainteaminvolvement Corticosteroids:
ConsideronsuspicionofMSCC,pendingMRIresult
Loading dose 16mg dexamethasonePO, followed by 16mgdexamethasonedaily, e.g. 16mg
OD(morning)or8mgBD(morningandlunchtime):
Dexamethasonecanalsohaveananalgesiceffect Oncedefinitive treatmentisstarted(surgery orradiotherapy),taper thedose over 5–7
daystostop.Ifneurologicalfunctiondeteriorates,thedoseshouldbe↑again Maybecontraindicatedinsuspectedlymphoma(impairshistologicaldiagnosismakingbiopsy difficult);discusswithMSCCcoordinatorpriortogiving ConsiderPPIcover,e.g.omeprazole20mgOD Monitorpatientsforhyperglycaemia,epigastricpain(particularlyifonNSAIDs/aspirin),and steroid-inducedpsychosis
Mobilization:
Nurseflatuntilbonyandneurologicalstabilityareensured Turnusingalog-rollingtechniqueevery2–3hours Worseningneurologyorseveremechanicalbackpainsuggestsspinalinstability Liaisewithphysiotherapytoensurecautiousremobilization
Other:
VTEprophylaxis Pressureareamanagement Bladder/bowelfunction:
Ifbladderdysfunction,thepatientwillneedurinarycatheterization
If bowel dysfunction, discuss with the patient their preference for stool softeners,
oral/rectallaxatives,andconstipatingagentsasrequired.
Treatmentafterstabilization
Discusswithasenior clinicianandspecialistteams.Treatmentdecisions forMSCCpain andparalysispreventionshouldinvolvediscussionwithspinalsurgeonsandoncologists, withthepatientfullyinvolvedinthesediscussions.

Bisphosphonates:
Offer for analgesia and to reduce the risk of vertebral fracture or collapse if the spinal pathologyisduetomyelomaorbreastcancer If spinal metastases are dueto prostate cancer, consider bisphosphonates if the pain is not controlledwithconventionalanalgesia Donotusefortumoursotherthanmyeloma,breast,orprostate
Surgery:
Aimstoachievespinalcorddecompressionandstabilityofthespinalcolumnwheninstability isseenonimaging.Ifthepatienthasbeenparaplegicortetraplegicfor≥24hours,onlyoffer surgerytoprovidepainrelief Consider vertebroplasty orkyphoplastywhenpainis notcontrolled byanalgesiaorthere is vertebralbodycollapse
Radiotherapy:
Should be offered to all patients withMSCCwho are notsuitable for surgery, unless they have had tetra/paraplegia ≥24 hours and their pain is well controlled, or their overall prognosisistoopoor
Rehabilitation:
Consideradmissiontoaspecialistrehabilitationcentreondischarge,dependentonprognosis, activitytolerance,andrehabilitationpotential.
Specialconsiderations
Patients with cancer, bone metastasis, or at risk of developing bone metastasis mustbe informedaboutthesymptomsofMSCC.

Neuropathicpain
Guideline: NICE CG173 (Neuropathic pain in adults: pharmacological
management in non-specialist settings):
https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg173
OUPdisclaimer:OxfordUniversity Press makesno representation, express or implied, that the drugdosagesarecorrectand thatthe recommendations are an exclusive or mandatory course of care. All health professionals readingthistexthavearesponsibilitytoevaluateitsappropriatenessandtake theindividualneedsofthepatientintoaccount.
Localtrustguidelines:pleaserefertoyourlocalguidelinesasnecessary.
Overview
Neuropathicpainiscausedbyalesionordiseaseoftheneuraltissue.
Causesofneuropathicpaininclude:
Diabeticneuropathy Post-herpeticneuralgia Trigeminalneuralgia Radicularpain Post-surgicalchronicneuropathicpain Spinalcordinjury Multiplesclerosis.
Diagnosis
Neuropathicpaincanbeintermittentorconstant,andspontaneousorprovoked Patientsdescribethepainasshooting,stabbing,electricshock-like,burning,tingling,tight,numb, prickling,itching,orasasensationofpinsandneedles. SeeTable54.1

Diagnosis Characteristic
Diabetic neuropathy
Patientswithdiabetesmellitus,tendstoaffectlowerlimbsbeforeupper
Post­herpetic neuralgia
Painthatcontinuesformonths-yearsaftertheresolutionofaVZVrash.Usuallyinvolvesaspecific nerveandlocalizestoonedermatomeunilaterally
Trigeminal neuralgia
Oftenparoxysmalbutcanalsobetriggeredbylighttouch.Lastsforsecondsratherthanminutesin thedistributionofthetrigeminalnerve.Usuallyunilateral.Oftenassociatedwithautonomic symptomssuchaslacrimationandrhinorrhea
Radicular pain
Duetoinflammationofaspinalnerverootcausingadermatomaldistributionofpain
Management
Wherepossible,treatthecauseofthepain Whenagreeingatreatmentplanwithapatient,considerthefollowing:
Theeffectthepainhasonthepatient’slifestyleandactivitiesofdailyliving,e.g.difficulties sleepingduetothepain Whethertheunderlyingconditionthatcausesthepainhasdeteriorated Theimportanceoftitrating medicationdosetoachieve adequatecontrolbutconsideringthe benefitsandadverseeffectsofpharmacologicaltreatments
Non-pharmacologicaltreatmentssuchaspsychologicalandphysicaltherapies When introducing a new treatment, consider overlap with old treatments initially to avoid deteriorationofpaincontrol.
Pharmacologicaltreatment
Trigeminalneuralgia
Offer carbamazepine 100mg 1–2 times a day. Usual dose 200mg 3–4 times a day—titrate as needed.Maximumdailydose1.6gdaily.

Followup
Afterinitialtreatment,reviewafter1–2weeks Onceestablishedontreatment,reviewregularlytomonitoreffectivenessoftreatment Ateachreview,assess:
Paincontrol
Impactonlifestyleanddailyactivities
Physicalandpsychologicalwell-being
Adverseeffectsoftherapy,e.g.prolongedQTcandarrhythmiaswithamitriptylineuse
Whethercontinuedtreatmentisneeded After6monthsoftreatmentconsidergradualdosereduction When withdrawing or switching treatment, taper the drugs to reduce the risk of interval pain symptoms.
Specialconsiderations
Specialistpainclinicreferral
Refertoaspecialistpainclinicif:
ThepatienthasseverepainOR ThepainsignificantlyimpairsactivitiesofdailylivingOR Theunderlyinghealthconditionthatiscausingthepainhasdeteriorated.
Elderly
Becautiouswiththestartingdoseofamitriptylinedueto↑riskofpsychiatricandcardiac sideeffects.
