NCT06084520

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to translate the COMM (Current opinion misuse measure) form and validate it using the ASI-SR (Addiction severity score-self report)in a Swedish population of pain patients treated with opioids. The secondary aim is to investigate acceptability of the instrument in a Swedish population of pain patients with long-term opioid treatment (LOT). The tertiary aim is to investigate the prevalence of alcohol and illicit substance use in a Swedish population of pain patients with LOT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • COMM - Current opioid misuse version Swedish version

    COMM is based on 17 questions, all of which are answered on a 5-point Likert scale. As the original COMM instrument has identified 5 categories of questions, each area will be assessed against the following instruments: 1. Symptoms and signs of drug abuse (question 1) - AUDIT, DUDIT, ASI-SR, drug and alcohol test 2. Emotional and psychiatric problems (questions 2,5,7,8,13) - ASI-SR, GAD-7, PHQ9 3. Visitor characteristics/patterns (questions 3,12,17) - medical record data 4. Occurrence of untrue statement (doubt/lie/untruth) and drug use (questions 4,6,9,10,11) - medical record data, drug and alcohol tests

Study Arms (2)

Test group - patients with chronic pain treated with opioids

Patients with long-term, non-cancer-related pain (\>3 months) at least 3 days a week, age 18-75 years, who have been treated with opioids for at least 1 month and who can speak, read and write in Swedish, recruited within Uppsala County Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Care.

Control group - patients with chronic pain not-treated with opioids

Patients with long-term, non-cancer-related pain (\>3 months) at least 3 days a week, age 18-75 years, who are not treated with opioids (at inclusion and during the last 3 months) and who can speak, read and write in Swedish, recruited within Uppsala County Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Care.

Interventions

Patients in test group should fulfill the the COMM and the battery of validation forms as well as leave the oral fluid for illicit drugs test and whole blod for phosphatidylethanol test.
