Abstract

The TROUP (Trends and Risks of Opioid Use for Pain) study is designed to assess trends in and risks of opioid therapy for chronic non-cancer pain in contrasting pain populations. Data from a national privately insured population (WellPoint, 2005 enrollees N= 3,768,223) are compared with a state-based publicly-insured population (Arkansas Medicaid, 2005 enrollees N=154,371). We assess trends from 2000 to 2005 in opioid use for common chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP): arthritis/joint pain, back pain, neck pain, headaches/migraines, HIV/AIDS.
