Calcitonin & Pain 21 Jan 09
Objective To assess the effects of calcitonin vs. placebo for the treatment of acute pain in patients sustaining stable, recent, osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures
1989 100 IU IM 1991 100 IU IM 1997 200 IU IN
1999 200 IU suppo. 1989 100 IU BID of IN
results The combined results from five randomized controlled trials, involving 246 patients Calcitonin significantly reduced the severity of pain using a visual analogue scale following diagnosis Pain at rest was reduced as early as 1 week into treatment (weighted mean difference [WMD] =3.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.64, 3.52)
results The effect on pain continued weekly to 4 weeks (WMD =4.03; 95% CI: 3.70, 4.35). A similar pattern was seen for pain scores associated with sitting, standing, and walking.
Subgroup analysis The VAS (sitting) IN calcitonin, WMD 2.55 (95% CI: 2.16, 2.84) calcitonin rectal suppositories, WMD 2.00 (95% CI: 1.46, 2.54) IM calcitonin, WMD 4.00 (95% CI: 3.0, 5.0) IM calcitonin (n =28) better pain control and were able to mobilize more quickly than intra-nasally (IN) or rectal suppository
Side effects All in mild and were not significant difference
Conclusion Calcitonin appears to be effective in the management of acute pain associated with acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures by shortening time to mobilization
pain after a vertebral fracture The location of the pain is dependent on the location of the vertebral fractures can be confirmed radiographically. Pain is exacerbated by weight-bearing activities Valsalva maneuvers, lifting and bending, Tenderness to percussion.
Goals of Pain Treatment Improvement in pain symptoms Restoration of function

Mechanism of Action in Animal Models Most evidence indicates that calcitonin has a direct effect on the central nervous system (CNS) for acute pain that is independent of opioid action. In the rabbit dental pulp model, the analgesia subsequent to salmon1 or porcine2 calcitonin administration was not reversed by the opioid antagonist naloxone. 1Braga P, et al. Lack of opiate receptor involvement in centrally induced calcitonin analgesia. Life Sci 1978;22:971-7. 2Yamamoto M, et al.

Mechanism of Action in Animal Models SCT and morphine (which acts on m-opioid receptors) acted in an additive manner. In vitro assays suggested that calcitonin potentiates the action of ligands acting on d- and k-opioid receptors, but not on m-opioid receptors.1 1Martin MI, et al.

Calcitonin Renal Metabolism Renal metabolism accounts for approximately 2/3 of the total metabolism of calcitonin1 Removal of calcitonin from renal circulation by Glomerular filtration followed by proximal tubular degradation by hydrolysis after contact with brush-border membrane (40%) Receptor-mediated, filtration-independent removal from the postglomerular peritubular circulation Basolateral endocytosis with intracellular degradation Basolateral membrane hydrolysis in more distal nephron segments 2 Salmon calcitonin is primarily and almost exclusively degraded in the kidneys, forming pharmacologically-inactive fragments of the molecule. 3 The metabolic clearance is much lower in patients with end-stage renal failure than in healthy subjects. The clinical relevance of this finding is not known. 3 Ardaillou R., Paillard F., Savier C., Bernier A. Rev Eur Etud Clin Biol (1971) 16: 1031-1036 Simmons RE, et. al.
