Long-Term Opioid Therapy in Chronic Non-Cancer Pain: Risks and Benefits

Sponsor: Uppsala University

Summary

The study investigates long-term opioid treatment in patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). The study aims to prospectively identify predictive factors for work ability and for developing opioid use disorder (according to DSM-5) as well as predictive factors for pain, activity, and health-related quality of life. It is hypothesized that certain biopsychosocial factors mapped in this study predict patterns of opioid use and the risk for developing OUD for patients with CNCP on long-term opioid therapy. Further, it is hypothesized that certain biopsychosocial factors mapped in this study predict the chance of improved work ability and other treatment benefits of long term opioid therapy in patients with CNCP.
