Contemporaneous Link Between Pain and Craving in Patients Recovering from Prescription Opioid Use Disorder During Residential Treatment
These results indicate that the experience of higher-than-usual pain, regardless of individual patients' usual pain levels, is linked to higher contemporaneous craving. This finding supports the importance of assessing and managing pain in the prescription OUD patient's early treatment experience to help reduce craving and its role in return to illicit use.
