Summary
This study looked at a voluntary program to help people with chronic pain slowly lower their opioid medications. 51 adults who wanted to reduce their opioid dose worked with their doctor over 4 months using a personalized tapering plan and a self-help book. The main goal was to see if their daily opioid dose decreased, and they also tracked whether their pain levels changed.
