About this study

To define a rational pharmacological management of pain for the subjects under opioid maintenance therapy (methadone or buprenorphine), it is first of all necessary to estimate the efficiency of the current practices on pain management as well as their potentially noxious consequences, in particular on the long term opioid maintenance therapy.

The objective of the study is to compare the efficiency of the opioid maintenance therapy according to the arisen of an acute painful phenomenon requiring an analgesic management for these patients. At first, this work will allow to determine the results on acute pain of the current practices for these patients. The comparison of the long term consequences on opioid maintenance therapy between the patients that presented an acute painful phenomenon and the control patients should help to improve acute pain management for these patients while limiting the risk of relapse in the abused consumption of psychoactive substances.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Retention rate under buprenorphine or methadone treatment defined as the percentage of patients still under treatment during the follow-up

    Measured: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pain, anxiety, drugs, alcohol and other substances abuse and dependence, drug prescription (included for pain treatment and opioid maintenance)

    Measured: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pain, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retention rate under buprenorphine or methadone treatment defined as the percentage of patients still under treatment during the follow-up (time frame: 1, 3, 6 and 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00738036, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
