Opioid attentional bias and cue-elicited craving predict future risk of prescription opioid misuse among chronic pain patients

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Some chronic pain patients receiving long-term opioid analgesic pharmacotherapy are at risk for misusing opioids. Like other addictive behaviors, risk of opioid misuse may be signaled by an attentional bias (AB) towards drug-related cues. The purpose of this study was to examine opioid AB as a potential predictor of opioid misuse among chronic pain patients following behavioral treatment.
