What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the management of acute pain for individuals with opioid use disorder who are undergoing surgical procedures. It aims to identify the unique challenges these patients face, such as tolerance to pain medications and the risk of inadequate pain control post-surgery. By capturing patient-reported outcomes and developing a clinical care pathway, the study seeks to optimize pain management and reduce the risks associated with opioid use during the perioperative period. The research will be conducted across a diverse network of hospitals in Michigan to ensure comprehensive data collection and implementation of best practices.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include adults aged 21 and older who have been diagnosed with opioid use disorder and are scheduled for elective or non-elective surgical procedures.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have opioid use disorder or those who are not undergoing surgery may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients with opioid use disorder, enhancing their surgical outcomes and overall quality of care.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has indicated that tailored pain management approaches for patients with opioid use disorder can improve outcomes, suggesting that this study builds on established findings while addressing specific gaps.
