Placebo power: cutting opioids without extra pain
NCT ID NCT05351333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a method called conditioning open-label placebo (COLP) to help patients with spinal cord injury, multiple injuries, or burns use fewer opioids while still getting the same pain relief. About 66 adults in intensive rehab will receive a placebo alongside their regular opioid treatment. The goal is to reduce side effects and addiction risk without sacrificing pain control.
