PATHOPHYSIOLOGYBETWEENPAINANDADDICTION
RefertoChapter9andChapter44fortheindividualpathophysiologyofpainandOUD.
Theexperienceofpainoccursvianociception,definedasthetransmissionofpainsignalingthroughthe
central nervous system (CNS). Chronic use of opioids, whether prescribed or misused, alters the
processing of pain stimuli, which leads to increased pain sensitivity and the occurrence of opioid
tolerance.InpatientswithOUD,themesolimbicpathway(rewardpathway)facilitatedbytheactionsof

SCREENINGANDASSESSMENTFORPAIN

Whenassessingpain,patientswithOUDshouldbetreatedlikeanyotherpatient.Athoroughassessment
shouldbeconductedwithtypeandclassofpainidentified(refertoChapter9forclassificationofpain)
using subjective information offered by the patient. In addition, clinical examinationand testing (e.g.,
magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray, etc.) can be performed when applicable. The patient’s ability to
function is critical in the evaluation. After completion of a detailed workup of the patient’s pain
complaints,collateralinformationshouldbeobtained.Thepatient’sconcomitantdiseases,especiallyany
psychological comorbidities, must be taken into consideration when developing a treatment and
monitoring plan. Review all medications (including over-the-counter and herbal medicine) for the
presence of drug interactions and potential side effects. If the patient has been diagnosed with OUD,
determinationofcurrentorpastMATmustbereviewed.Itisalsoimportanttobeawareofresponsesto
anypreviouspain managementtreatments.Lastly, identifyand confirm a strongsupportsystem before
interventionsareinitiated.
SCREENINGANDASSESSMENTOFOPIOIDUSEDISORDER
While all patients should be screened routinely for OUD (and other substance use disorders), it is
essential to perform this assessment before initiating opioid analgesics. Continuously assessing for
potential opioid misuse, as well as monitoring for worsening or continued pain, is recommended.
Differentiate OUD diagnosis from “pseudo-addictive” behavior (refer to Chapter 9 for definition).
Nonjudgmentalandopencommunicationshouldbeappliedwhenassessingthepatient.Patientsareoften

Evaluationand diagnosis ofa substanceuse disorder canbe based on the Diagnostic and Statistical

GoalsofDrugTherapy
The goals of treatingpain inpatients withOUDinclude(1) reducingor eliminatingpain andtreating
underlyinginjury/disease,(2)reducingoreliminatingcravings,(3)preventingrelapse,(4)minimizingor
managingsideeffects,and(5)improvingqualityoflife.MedicationsusedinOUDincludebuprenorphine,
methadone,andnaltrexone.Naltrexone,anopioidantagonist,isnotroutinelyusedinthemanagementof
chronicpain(Table10.1).
BuprenorphineandBuprenorphine/Naloxone
Buprenorphine is a partial mu opioid receptor agonist providing analgesic effects similar to full mu
opioid receptor agonists (opioids).Thepartialagonism feature creates a ceiling effect,whichlessens

Methadone
MethadoneiseffectiveintreatingOUDduetoitsverylonghalf-life,whichreducescravingsanddullsthe

alsoefficaciousinpaincontrolandisthoughttobelesslikelytoproducetoleranceduetoitsantagonistic
effects at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. Methadone is a Schedule 2–controlled substance. When
being used for pain, prescriptions can be filled at a retail pharmacy, usually dispensed in tablet
formulation.WhenbeingusedforOUD,dosingisusuallyonceaday,andthemedicationisonlyavailable

facilities,theliquidformulationisusuallydispensed,anddosesareprovideddailybytheclinicdirectly
tothepatient.MethadonethatisprovidedtopatientsfromaclinicmaynotdisplayinthePDMPreport.
Similar to buprenorphine, methadone is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 (also by CYP2B6 and
CYP2D6). Drug interactions should be analyzed and used cautiously in patients who are poor
metabolizers ofthese enzymes.Pharmacokineticsofmethadoneare widelyvariable. Methadone’shalflifecanrangebetween8and59hourswithadurationofeffectlastingapproximately30hours.Unlike
buprenorphine,thereisnoceilingeffectandthereforecarriesagreaterriskofrespiratorydepressionif
dosedinappropriately.
TheFDAblackboxwarningsassociatedwithmethadoneuseemphasizedangerousadverseeffectssuch
as respiratory depression and riskof abuse/dependence. Respiratory rate should be monitored during
initiation and titration of methadone doses. When taken with other medications that cause CNS
depression, the incidence of respiratory depression increases. Also, methadone is associated with an
increasedriskoftorsadesdepointesbyprolongingtheQTcinterval.Electrocardiography(EKG)should

Unfortunately,methadonehasincompletecross-tolerancewithotheropioids,andconversionsare not
bidirectional.Whenconvertingfromhigh-doseopioidstomethadone,ahigherconversionfactorisused
as opposed to switching offmethadone. Tolerancewillnotgenerallydeveloptomethadoneasisseen

initiatedfor painwithout a thoroughunderstandingoftheproperties ofthemedication. This prompted
development of guidelines for methadone use in pain, providing direction for initial dosing in both
opioid-naiveand-tolerantpatients(Chouetal.,2014).Whilemethadoneisusuallydosedonceadayfor
OUD,morefrequentdosingisnecessarywhenbeingusedforpain.Ingeneral,higheronce-dailydosesfor
methadone are recommended for OUD compared to lower doses givenmultiple times a day for pain
management.WhenbothacutepainandOUDarepresent,themethadonedosecanbedividedthreetofour

Non-opioidandMultimodalAnalgesia
Non-opioid analgesics are firstlinefor mild tomoderatepain.Examplesofnon-opioid analgesics are
acetaminophenandnonsteroidalanti-inflammatorydrugs.Thesemedicationsdonothaveaneffectonthe

Opioids arenotgenerallyrecommended forpain inpatientswithdiagnosed or suspectedOUD.There
