Can changing your thoughts about pain curb opioid cravings?
NCT ID NCT04097743
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a thought pattern called 'pain catastrophizing'—where people focus on and fear the worst about their pain—causes cravings for prescription opioid painkillers. Researchers worked with 93 adults who had chronic pain and were taking opioids long-term. They tested if teaching coping strategies to reduce these negative thoughts could lower cravings and improve safe medication use.
