Abstract

Research supports weaning patients from chronic opioid therapy (COT) in the context of an interdisciplinary chronic pain rehabilitation program (CPRP). The aim of the current study was to examine CPRP outcomes for patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) weaned off high-dose COT (HD; >100mg morphine equivalency dose-MED). Outcomes for these patients were compared with patients weaned from low-dose COT (LD, 0.01-99.9mg MED) and patients not on COT (ND). Data was available from 1248 patients admitted to a CPRP between 2007-2011.
