Collaborative Opioid Taper After Trauma: Preventing Opioid Misuse and Opioid Use Disorder

NCT04275258 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2021-04-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will enroll 100 participants using a randomized control trial design to implement and evaluate an individualized opioid taper program supporting rural Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) caring for patients with moderate to severe trauma discharged on opioids. This study will link a trauma center Physician Assistant (PA) with rural PCPs to facilitate pain care and the individualized opioid taper. The investigators seek to improve patient's pain and opioid outcomes and support the PCPs who assume care for these complex patients after hospital discharge.

Our long term goal is to provide a service that will help trauma patients as they go back into primary care and into pain- and opioid-free living.

Conditions

  • Opioid Use
  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Opioid Use, Unspecified
  • Trauma
  • Opioid-use Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

Provide assistance to subject's rural PCP pertaining to subject/patient pain management goals and opioid taper plan

PA checks in with PCP at 1,2,4,8, 12, 16, and 20 weeks post hospital discharge by secure e-mail, fax or phone to provide opioid taper and pain management guidance until patient has tapered off opioids or returned to pre-trauma doses. PCP may contact PA whenever needed. If PCP requests assistance or reports deviation from the planned opioid taper, PA will provide individualized consultations, which may include a revised taper plan and/or adjunctive therapy recommendations. If there is continued deviation from the planned taper, the PA will facilitate a UW TelePain multidisciplinary telemedicine consultation. The collaborative pain care and opioid taper intervention ends at 20 weeks.
