Opioids, chronic pain and the bigger picture OPIOID TAPERING ALGORITHM 1–9 Patient who is taking opioids No meaningful improvement in pain and/or function Cause of pain has resolved Adverse effects are intolerable Risk of harm outweighs potential benefits Signs of aberrant behaviour • Discuss the decision to taper an opioid with the patient • Ask each patient about their treatment goals and their perceived benefits and harms of opioid treatment • Listen to the patient’s beliefs and concerns (...) and preferences Fast taper Appropriate after a short period of opioid treatment (< 3 months) Reduce daily opioid dose each week by 10%–25% of the starting dose Review the patient frequently, emphasise the benefits of tapering and assess response against set goals Tapering progressing well improved function, controlled pain, reduced side effects Taper to the lowest effective dose, which may mean stopping the opioid • Some patients may not entirely stop using opioids but any dose reduction may be beneficial

Chronic pain is pain that lasts for a long time, usually more than 3 months. People may develop chronic pain because of an injury, an infection (...) , a disease, or a surgery—or there may be no obvious reason for the pain. Chronic pain has a negative effect on people’s physical, emotional, social, and mental health. People may try a range of treatment options to manage their chronic pain, including physiotherapy, mindfulness practices, and medications. Spinal cord stimulation is typically recommended if these options do not work to relieve a person's pain. It delivers low-voltage electricity to the nerves in the spine to suppress pain signals

Long-term safety and efficacy of closed-loop spinal cord stimulation to treat chronic back and leg pain (Evoke): a double-blind, randomised, controlled trial Spinal cord stimulation has been an established treatment for chronic back and leg pain for more than 50 years; however, outcomes are variable and unpredictable, and objective evidence of the mechanism of action is needed. A novel spinal cord stimulation system provides the first in vivo, real-time, continuous objective measure of spinal (...) of chronic back and leg pain.This multicentre, double-blind, parallel-arm, randomised controlled trial was done at 13 specialist clinics, academic centres, and hospitals in the USA. Patients with chronic, intractable pain of the back and legs (Visual Analog Scale [VAS] pain score ≥60 mm; Oswestry Disability Index [ODI] score 41-80) who were refractory to conservative therapy, on stable pain medications, had no previous experience with spinal cord stimulation, and were appropriate candidates for a spinal

Effects of open-label placebo on pain, functional disability, and spine mobility in patients with chronic back pain: a randomized controlled trial Chronic back pain (CBP) is a major global health problem, while its treatment is hampered by a lack of efficacy and restricted safety profile of common frontline therapies. The present trial aims to determine whether a 3-week open-label placebo treatment reduces pain intensity and subjective and objective functional disability in patients with CBP (...) . This randomized controlled trial, following a pretest-posttest design, enrolled 127 patients with CBP (pain duration >12 weeks) from the Back Pain Center, Neurology, University Hospital Essen, Germany. Patients randomized to the open-label placebo group received a 3-week open-label placebo treatment. Patients in the treatment as usual (TAU) group received no intervention. Both groups continued TAU. Primary outcome was the change in pain intensity. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported functional
