Attitudes Towards and Management of Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) is a phenomenon whereby opioids increase patients' pain sensitivity, complicating their use in analgesia. We explored practitioners' attitudes towards, and knowledge concerning diagnosis, risk factors, and treatment of OIH.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We administered an 18-item cross-sectional survey to 850 clinicians that managed chronic pain with opioid therapy.
