Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Trial of Integrated Treatment for Pain and Opioid Dependence (NCT NCT00634803)

NCT ID: NCT00634803

Last Updated: 2021-08-02

Results Overview

Pain intensity comprises the average of 4 items related to current pain and past-week average pain, pain at its worst, and pain at its least. Pain intensity is scored on 0-10 scale (average score ranges from 0-10), where higher scores indicate higher pain intensity.Originally labeled as Pain Reduction at 16 weeks- 3 months was the correct timeframe.

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: The analysis population is the intention to treat population and all observations across time periods were used in the analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months

Population: The analysis population is the intention to treat population and all observations across time periods were used in the analysis. Participants may have contributed to this outcome but were lost to follow up during the time period and were not measured on pain related outcomes.

Reduced illicit opioid use is defined as the number of documented opioid negative urine tests in each of the time periods.This measures the reduction in illicit opioid use - more opioid-negative tests means greater reductions in illicit opioid use. The highest possible score is 4- which would indicate 4 negative urine tests during the assessment period. Originally titled "Reduced illicit opioid use" and the timeframe was listed as 16 weeks.

Population: The analysis population is the intention to treat population and all observations across time periods were used in the analysis.

Pain interference comprises the average of 7 items related to past-week pain-related interference in general activity, walking, work, mood, enjoyment of life, relations with others, and sleep. Each item is scored on a 0-10 scale (averaged 0-10), where higher scores indicate higher pain interference.
