Study Summary
This trial will investigate whether people with opioid use disorder who have a better response to pain have less opioid craving.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with chronic pain and diagnosed opioid use disorder who can read and consent to participate. It's not for those involuntarily in treatment, with recent heart issues, inflammatory/autoimmune diseases, on opioid pain meds, neuropathy, vasculitis, severe vascular disease or withdrawal.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how education sessions about pain might influence the craving for opioids in individuals with an opioid use disorder. Participants will be randomly placed into one of two educational interventions and then assessed on their response to pain.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medications or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, discussing painful experiences could potentially cause emotional discomfort.
