Official title
Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia in Prescription Opioid Abusers: Effects of Pregabalin
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Managing pain in patients who abuse prescription opioids presents many challenges, including the development of opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Hyperalgesia is a condition in which something that usually feels slightly painful is perceived as something very painful. The proposed study will test the efficacy of the well-known neurological medication pregabalin to diminish OIH and chronic pain in persons who are in Suboxone (buprenorphine) or methadone treatment for prescription drug abuse.
