NCT ID NCT06527040

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests a computer alert that notifies doctors when a patient is about to move into a new phase of opioid therapy (like from short-term to long-term use). The goal is to help doctors pause and check if the opioid is still needed, reducing the risk of addiction or overdose. About 200,000 patients will take part, and the study will compare clinics that use the alert to those that don't.
