Tracking pain pills to fight an addiction crisis
NCT ID NCT03953534
Summary
This study aimed to find out exactly how many opioid pain pills patients actually use when recovering from short-term pain at home. Researchers followed over 2,200 patients from emergency departments who were sent home with an opioid prescription. The goal was to gather data to help doctors prescribe the right amount—enough to manage pain but limit leftover pills that could be misused by others.
