INT!-ACTABLE 03 UN- BEAIAILE PAIN

It is now generally ugued, um; the most frequent cause of pat- ients consulting their physiclui 1; to obtain relief from pain.

In most cases, pain can be re. lieved by the use of acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) but there are Various decrees of pain and, as is well known, patients react differently to pain. There is one type or de. gree of pain that is so severe that even the pain-killing drug, may. phine, is not able to relieve it. This is known as intractable or unbearable pain. For this intract- able pain. particularly when ac. comimnied by deep grief. there is the operation iobotomy. cutting the nerves in the front part of the brain where the emotions are loc- ated. I have written about the suc- cess and occasional failure of this operation. In The Journal of Neu- NSWKEFY (nerve surgery), Dr, John E. Scarlf (Columbia Univer- 8113') classes the results obtained by unilateral prefrontal loboiomy 101' P3111 B5 good if the patient no longer voluntarily complains 0; pain or requires pain-killing drugs tnarcotics); fair if there is some pain and narcotic (though less than beforel are needed; and poor if there is no lessening of the pain or narcotics are required.

Good results were obtaiiicd in 38 of 58 patients (66 per cent); :01. low-up averaged five moiit-hs. In two-thirds of the cases pain was due to cancer which could not be 1'0m0l'ed by surgery or other means. including cancer of the mouth. neck. and cervical or neck part of the spine.

Fair results were obtained in 12 patients L20 per cent) and poor resulis in eight (M per cent); de- tailed studies showed no change by lobowmy from the standpoint of the emotional. structural or soc. ial aspects.

Of the 12 patients who had only fair results. dye had no Organic illness. After unilateral lobotomy. each patient. appeared better. ate and slept well and carried out full routines. They complained and asked for medicine but placebos (Dills which contain no drug but look the same as the pain-killing drug) appeared to give relief from Pain. The fact that 66 per cent of these cases obtained complete re- lief from intractable pain and 2:) per cent obtained fair results shows that lobotomy is very much worth while. not only from the stand. point of the patient but from the lBm11l"s standpoint also.
