Measure
Buprenorphine/Naloxone Combination
n=31 Participants
Fifty-one (51) participants met inclusion/exclusion criteria and were randomized to a starting dose of buprenorphine/naloxone in the study (three doses were tested for 2 weeks at each dose).
Number of Participants Abstinent From Opioids
17 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: assessed twice weekly during course of 19 weeks or length of participation, only screening and last assessment reported.

The primary pain measure was the Pain Assessment and Documentation Tool (PADT). Total score ranging from 0-11 reported. Higher score considered indicative of more pain. Lower score is indicative of less pain.
