NCT ID NCT02824276
Summary
This study examined how long-term opioid pain medication use affects pain sensitivity in people with chronic low back pain. Researchers tested 35 patients to see if opioids might actually increase pain sensitivity over time, particularly in people with high stress or negative emotions. The goal was to understand individual differences in how people respond to opioid treatment to help doctors tailor pain management plans more effectively.
