Drug Dependence01:17

Drug Dependence

1.3K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

258
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Addiction Medicine
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain raises safety and efficacy concerns.
  • Opioid deprescribing is increasing, but safe, effective tapering methods are lacking.
  • Current tapering programs have high dropout rates and increase patient distress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the need for safe opioid deprescribing strategies.
  • To examine behavioral medicine strategies for patient-centered opioid tapering.
  • To develop a screening tool for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and severity in chronic pain patients.

Main Methods:

  • The EMPOWER study investigates behavioral medicine strategies for outpatient opioid tapering.
  • A novel consensus screening tool was developed by experts by extending a validated instrument.
  • The tool aims to identify OUD and assess its severity for treatment stratification.

Main Results:

  • A brief, novel consensus screening tool was developed.
  • The tool assists in identifying Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and assessing its severity.
  • This tool supports appropriate patient selection for opioid tapering or alternative pathways.

Conclusions:

  • Validated screening tools are crucial for managing long-term opioid therapy.
  • The developed tool can aid clinicians in assessing OUD in chronic pain patients.
  • This facilitates safer and more effective opioid tapering and treatment planning.
