Can changing your thoughts about pain break opioid craving?
NCT ID NCT04097743
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a thought pattern called 'pain catastrophizing'—where people magnify and feel helpless about their pain—causes stronger cravings for prescription opioids. Researchers worked with 93 adults who had chronic pain and were taking long-term opioid medication. They tested whether teaching coping strategies to reduce catastrophizing thoughts could lower opioid craving, stress, and misuse.
