Understanding Opioid Misuse in Chronic Back Pain

This study is looking for people with chronic lower back pain to help researchers understand what behavioral and thinking patterns might predict opioid misuse and disability. There are no interventions (treatments) given in this study. Researchers will use surveys and cognitive (thinking) tests to see if things like impulsivity, self-control, and certain ways of thinking are linked to a higher risk of opioid misuse. The main goals are to see how these factors relate to scores on the Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain Revised (SOAPPR) and Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM) surveys. You can join if you are over 18, not pregnant, and have chronic lower back pain that is not due to cancer. The study aims to include about 130 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning no treatments are given. It is designed to look at different factors at one point in time across approximately 130 participants.
What's involved
You would complete patient-reported surveys and cognitive tests. The study does not specify how many visits or how long these activities would take.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your responses on primary outcome measures (SOAPPR and COMM surveys) will be assessed within 12 months.

What this trial measures

  • Screener and Opioid Assessment for patients with pain revised (SOAPPR)within 12 months

    Risk of opioid misuse with the Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain Revised (SOAPPR). The Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain-Revised (SOAPP-R) is a 24-item self-report questionnaire with total scores ranging from 0 to 24 that is used to predict risk of aberrant medication-related behaviors among chronic pain patients, with higher scores indicating higher risk of aberrant behaviors.

  • Current Opioid misuse measure (COMM) surveyswithin 12 months

    Current opioid misuse measures with the Current Opioid misuse measure (COMM) surveys. The COMM is a 17-item self-report measure with total scores ranging from 0 to 68 that is used to identify risk of opioid misuse among chronic pain patients, with higher scores indicating higher risk of opioid misuse.
