Weighting Longitudinal Data to Access Opioid Analgesia Tapering Outcomes Among Patients with Co-Occurring Chronic Pain and Substance Use Disorder | Cross-Cutting Research | Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data | NIDA | LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO | QEADAN, FARES | Maywood, IL | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Data and Methods to Address Urgent Needs to Stem the Opioid Epidemic (R01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-044 Summary: Guidelines published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2016 recommended gradual reductions in opioid medication doses (opioid tapering) for people with chronic pain and substance use disorder and recommended that those patients with pain and opioid use disorder should be switched to opioid use disorder medications. Despite wide implementation, little is known about the consequences of opioid tapering among patients with co-occurring chronic pain and substance use disorder. This project will use various databases (Cerner Real-World DataTM, American Hospital Association data, and U.S. Census data) to create a representative electronic health records database. This database will be used to determine the relationship between opioid tapering, multidisciplinary pain treatment, and medications for opioid use disorder – as well as monitor outcomes for patients with chronic pain and co-occurring substance use disorder. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Data and Methods to Address Urgent Needs to Stem the Opioid Epidemic (R01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-044 Summary: Timely and accurate surveillance of fatal and non-fatal overdoses is necessary in light of the worsening overdose crisis, but data is rarely available in real-time. Tracking non-fatal overdoses is especially important because patients who overdose once are likely to experience additional and potentially fatal overdoses. This project aims to increase the quality and timeliness of non-fatal overdose data estimates by analyzing clinicians’ notes rather than clinical codes from emergency department and emergency medical services records. The datasets and models produced from this research will be used to build an interactive dashboard with up-to-date, county-level overdose-surveillance estimates for use by Kentucky first responders to aid in rapid allocation of resources. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Acute and Chronic Pain Development or Management in Humans (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DE-22-011 Summary: Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder affecting about 100,000 Americans and more than 20 million people worldwide. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for beta-globin that results in the characteristic sickled shape of red blood cells, life-long severe pain, and shortened lifespan. Sickle cell disease pain episodes are usually unanticipated, making it hard for people with the condition to manage their pain and putting them at risk for increased use of opioids and poor health outcomes. This project will use existing real-time health data to identify factors that can predict onset, severity, and worsening of daily pain in children with sickle cell disease. |

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Acute and Chronic Pain Development or Management in Humans (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DE-22-011 Summary: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the joint connecting the lower jaw and the skull, are common and difficult chronic pain conditions. Pain management strategies that harness the body’s own pain relief mechanisms (including placebo effects in which pain relief cannot be attributed to a specific treatment), can reduce the severity and duration of TMJ-related chronic pain. Although research suggests that placebo effects may have a genetic basis, few, if any, genetic studies have examined this possibility in individuals with TMJ disorders. This project will use in-depth genetic, sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological data collected from adults with chronic TMJ disorders to better understand how the placebo effect works. |
