AAOP Mid-Year Sleep and Pain Conference

“Understanding Sleep when Managing Pain”

 

Friday November 2 and Saturday November 3, 2018

The O’Hare Hilton Hotel at the O’Hare Airport in Chicago, IL

 

In recent years the AAOP has been a leader in developing the interest of sleep as it relates to head, neck and facial pain and the outreach of this interest is well beyond orofacial pain dentists, as many neurologists, headache physicians and other assorted pain medicine practitioners now understand the importance of sleep management in pain patients. With that said, in many respects, the November conference will be very unique, dedicating a day and a half solely to the topics of sleep and pain and it could very well be the first of its kind, at least for head and face pain practitioners.

A bit of history regarding the development of this conference; the first four AAOP Sleep Medicine Mid-Year Meetings had an article review format of which there were generally 6 articles presented and then an open format discussion with the attendees was held after each article presentation. Each of these meetings was held in November at the Chicago O’Hare Hilton Hotel and only AAOP members were allowed to attend. However, this year the AAOP Council decided to have a more traditional meeting format as the topic of sleep and pain has become more popular in recent years with OFP clinicians and other pain medicine providers. As such, this years’ conference will be open to any and all healthcare professionals desiring to learn more about sleep and pain.

 

It is also well known that sleep is a controlled drive that aids in preserving homeostasis and enhances function across numerous physiologic systems. Both sleep and pain are needed for survival and good sleep is needed for good health and bodily repair. Chronic deficiencies of pain or sleep regulation can produce negative impacts on health and the sense of well-being. Some estimation of sleep complaints are said to be present in 67-88% of chronic pain disorders and at least 50% of individuals with insomnia—the most commonly diagnosed disorder of sleep impairment of those persons who suffer from chronic pain. Other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, can also perpetuate chronic pain.

 

The presenters for this inaugural AAOP Mid-Year Sleep and Pain Conference are known leaders in the disciplines of sleep, pain and imaging. Dr. Gilles Lavigne, will present on sleep mechanisms, sleep pathophysiology and bruxism. Dr. David Gozal will present on the modulation of pain during sleep and the impact of sleep fragmentation on pain related thresholds. An update on sleep apnea, from the changing epidemiology of the disorder to the evidenced based approach of its diagnosis will be discussed by Dr. Safwan Badr. In recent years imaging of airway for clinical management of sleep related breathing disorders has become a popular topic. Dr. David Hatcher will discuss the use of imaging to identify selected anatomic factors associational with sleep disordered breathing. Another popular topic of interest in the last decade has been the use of cannabinoids for the management of various medical conditions. Dr. Darrell Boychuk will present on the use of cannabinoids in sleep, chronic pain and how it is being investigated for the use of other disorders such as OSA and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

 

Ladies and gentlemen the agenda has been set with top presenters in the field of Sleep and Pain and they will be lecturing on popular contemporary topics. The city is Chicago and the inaugural AAOP event will be happening on Friday November 2rd and Saturday November 3th 2018 at the O’Hare Hilton Hotel. We, the AAOP Sleep Medicine Committee, are looking forward to a great day of learning and we are also looking forward to seeing you there.

Presentation Title:  Diagnostic Imaging and Diagnosis of the Upper Airway Anomalies

By David Hatcher, DDS, M.Sc., M.R.C.D.

 

Presentation Summary:

 

This presentation will discuss the use of imaging to identify selected anatomic factors associational with sleep disordered breathing

 

Small airway dimensions may be a risk factor for obstructive sleep disordered breathing and upper airway resistance. The airway dimensions can be influenced by many factors including age, gender, jaw growth, TMJ anomalies, peri-pharyngeal fat deposits, tongue size and airway masses. The use of CBCT, spatially accurate 3d imaging, creates the opportunity to assess the airway dimensions and to identify factors that have contributed the diminution of airway size. A stratified diagnostic process and identification of the etiology of a small airway creates the opportunity to employ a therapy that targets the etiology.

Learning Objectives:

 

1. Be able to identify normal sinonasal anatomy

2. Be able to differentiate normal from small airway dimensions

3. Develop an image interpretation strategy for identifying factors contributing to a reduction in

  airway dimensions

4. Develop a differential diagnosis for airway obstructions

5. Develop a decision tree for the differential diagnosis

Hatcher, D.D.S., M.Sc., M.R.C.D.(c) received his D.D.S. degree from the University of Washington.  Subsequently he completed two years active duty in the U.S. Public Health Service and a one year general practice residency program at the University of Vermont Medical Center.    Dr. Hatcher entered the graduate program in radiology at the University of Toronto and was granted a specialty degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in 1982 and a M.Sc. in 1983.  His thesis topic dealt with radiology of temporomandibular disorders.     Presently Dr. Hatcher is in private practice in Sacramento, California and has faculty appointments as Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco, University of California Los Angeles, University of California Davis and University of the Pacific.

 

Presentation Title:

Sleep Disorders and Orofacial Pain: Dismantling the Deleterious Interactions to Improve Management

By Gilles Lavigne, DMD, PhD, FRCD

Presentation Summary:

Sleep is a state of energy recovery that can be altered by many health conditions. Pain is an intruder in sleep and can contribute to un-refreshing sleep complaints.  About half of chronic orofacial pain patients reports poor sleep quality, about 25% insomnia and sleep disordered breathing, and some sleep bruxism-tooth grinding.  Sleep apnea and sleep bruxism can be associated to morning transient pain/headache.  Understanding sleep physiology, role of sleep disorders, been able to perform early detection by screening and select best management strategies can contribute to prevent onset and deleterious effects of chronic orofacial pain.

Learning objectives:

1. Get a clinically applied understanding of sleep mechanism and sleep disorders

  pathophysiology.

      2.  Being able to improve our diagnosis and management planning skills.

      3.  Identify-screen for putative contribution of concomitant sleep or mood conditions.

      4.  Being realistic, sleep bruxism and sleep apnea do not cause all problems; many risk factors

           need to be assessed.

      5.  Sleep bruxism is not always a disorder: continuum from normal oral behaviour to disorder?

 

BIOGRAPHY: Gilles Lavigne DMD (U Montreal), PhD (U Toronto), FRCD (oral medicine; Georgetown U), hc (U Zurich)

Presentation Title:  Cannabinoids, Sleep and Pain

By Darrell Boychuk, DDS, MS

Presentation Summary:

Interest in cannabinoids for the treatment of medical conditions has grown considerably in the past decade. Research on the use of cannabinoid-based medication has expanded since the discovery of cannabinoid receptors and ligands in humans. Much attention has been focused on cannabinoids for the management of neuropathic pain conditions that are largely refractory to traditional treatments. However, cannabinoids are currently being investigated for treating post-traumatic stress disorder, epilepsy and obstructive sleep apnea among other conditions.

Learning Objectives:

·       Cannabinoid-based medications: more than ‘medical marijuana’: classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, natural and synthetic compounds, delivery systems, conditions responsive to cannabinoids.

·       Endocannabinoids and the sleep-wake cycle. Differential impact of cannabinoid compounds on sleep and wakefulness.

·       Cannabis cessation and sleep issues.

·       Impact of cannabis on sleep in chronic pain patients.

·       Cannabis for treating PTSD and nightmares.

·       Current understanding of cannabinoids and obstructive sleep apnea.

·       Limitations of current research, controversies and considerations in prescribing marijuana.

BIOGRAPHY: Darrell Boychuk earned an undergraduate science degree and DDS at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He returned to the University of Alberta to earn a master’s degree in medical science, orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders.

He was faculty at the University of California, San Francisco prior to taking a position with HealthPartners in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he joined Drs. Mariona Mulet, Gary Anderson and Brad Rindal in clinical practice related to TMD, orofacial pain and dental management of obstructive sleep apnea. In addition to his involvement in clinical research with the Practice-Based Research Network and HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research, Darrell has an ongoing interest in cannabinoids for managing chronic pain.
