Comparative Effectiveness of Patient-Centered Strategies to Improve Pain Management and Opioid Safety for Veterans
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Medication management, Non-pharmacological pain management, and 1 other intervention for Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 820 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background and significance: Treatment with opioid pain medications (like hydrocodone and morphine) is common for severe pain, but studies show these medications may not always help and can cause serious problems. High daily doses of opioids can be especially unsafe. To help patients with chronic pain have better quality of life and avoid medication toxicity, health care teams need to manage pain while helping patients reduce opioid medication doses to safer levels.
