Abstract

Purpose of review: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the surge in medical data utilization, notably impacting chronic pain management given its enormous economist cost. While the collection and use of data enhances research and care quality, data exchange risks compromising integrity and privacy, exemplified by the Change Healthcare cyberattack. Here, we review the potential of blockchain for the utilization for cybersecurity in the healthcare system with an emphasis on the field of chronic pain.

Recent findings: Blockchain technology emerges as a potential solution, offering decentralized, secure, and immutable data management. Blockchain ensures transparency, integrity, and data privacy, which is crucial in healthcare. Smart contracts may offer automated, secure management of implantable neuromodulation devices such as spinal cord stimulators and intrathecal pumps. Blockchain's potential in pharmaceutical supply chain integrity is exemplified in preliminary efforts ensuring that the medication retrieved by the patient is indeed the intended medication. Despite limitations such as speed of transactions, blockchain presents innovative avenues for healthcare security and quality improvement, necessitating further development for widespread implementation. Blockchain's applicability is not only applicable to chronic pain management, but can be used in medicine as a whole.

利用区块链保障慢性疼痛医生的数据安全。

审查目的：COVID-19 大流行加速了医疗数据利用的激增，特别是对慢性疼痛管理的影响，因为其经济成本巨大。虽然数据的收集和使用提高了研究和护理质量，但数据交换存在损害完整性和隐私的风险，Change Healthcare 网络攻击就是一个例子。在此，我们回顾了区块链在医疗保健系统中利用网络安全的潜力，重点关注慢性疼痛领域：区块链技术是一种潜在的解决方案，可提供分散、安全和不可更改的数据管理。区块链可确保透明度、完整性和数据隐私，这在医疗保健领域至关重要。智能合约可为脊髓刺激器和鞘内泵等植入式神经调控设备提供自动、安全的管理。区块链在医药供应链完整性方面的潜力体现在初步努力确保患者取回的药物确实是预定药物。尽管存在交易速度等方面的限制，但区块链为医疗安全和质量改进提供了创新途径，需要进一步开发才能广泛应用。区块链的适用性不仅适用于慢性疼痛管理，还可用于整个医学领域。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pain and headache. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of pain and headache. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anesthetic techniques in pain management, cluster headache, neuropathic pain, and migraine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
