Understanding Pain in Opioid Use Disorder

This presentation by Peggy Compton highlights the importance of caring for pain in individuals with opioid use disorder. It delves into the relationship between pleasure and pain, the continuum of human sensation, and the dual role of opioids in pain and reward responses. Compton's research, supported by grants, focuses on optimizing pain management in various healthcare settings.

4. A Program of Research in Pain & Addiction Where it began ..

5. For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Honor De Balzac (1799 1850) Pleasure and pain, though directly opposite, are yet so contrived by nature as to be constant companions; and it is a fact that the same motions and muscles of the face are employed both laughing and crying. -Pierre Charron (1541 - 1603) PainPleasure A Continuum of Human Sensation

6. Leknes & Tracey, 2018

7. Opioids are active in both Pain and Reward responses Ballantyne and LaForge, 2007 Both analgesic and euphoric effects can be blocked with naloxone

8. Pain and Addiction As Interrelated Phenomena Addiction responses in pain patients taking opioids Pain responses of patients with opioid use disorder Addiction patient Pain patient w/ w/ Pain Addiction

9. Pain and Addiction As Interrelated Phenomena Pain responses of opioid-dependent (addicted) patients Addiction patient Addiction responses in opioid-dependent pain patients Pain patient w/ Pain w/ Addiction

11. Pain Tolerance in current and former Opioid and Cocaine abusers 180 150 120 opioid abusers cocaine abusers 90 ex-opioid abusers 60 ex-cocaine abusers 30 0 cold-pressor pain tolerance (seconds) *Pain tolerance unrelated to dose or time on methadone (R03 HS06964 DHHS, AHCPR, Compton, 1994) (Compton,1994) R03 HS06964 DHHS, AHCPR, PI: Compton

12. Addiction results in a Syndrome of Pain Facilitation Discomfort augmented by: subtle withdrawal syndromes intoxication or withdrawal-related sympathetic arousal, muscular tension concomitant health problems sleep disturbances affective changes functional changes ((((Schofferman & Savage

13. Pain Tolerance in current and former Opioid and Cocaine abusers 180 150 120 opioid abusers cocaine abusers 90 ex-opioid abusers 60 ex-cocaine abusers 30 0 cold-pressor pain tolerance (seconds) *Pain tolerance unrelated to dose or time on methadone (R03 HS06964 DHHS, AHCPR, Compton, 1994) (Compton,1994) R03 HS06964 DHHS, AHCPR, PI: Compton

14. Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) Increased sensitivity to pain resulting from opioid administration Pain-free animal models have significantly decreased nociceptive threshold following single or repeated administration of opioids Opioids, in addition to providing analgesia, set in motion anti-analgesic or hyperalgesic processes Opioid-withdrawal hyperalgesia as an unmasking of underlying opioid-induced hyperalgesic state Role in analgesic tolerance?

15. Genetic propensity to develop Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia Liang DY, et al., Pharmacogenet Genomics. 2006;16(11):825-35.

16. Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia as an Opponent Process Opioid administration Opioid-induced hyperalgesia SENSITIZATION Pain tolerance Opioid-induced analgesia DESENSITIZATION Adapted from: Solomon R, 1980; Koob GF et al., 1989

17. Cold-pressor hyperalgesia in pts with opioid use disorder on opioid agonist therapy Cold-pressor withdrawal latency in persons with opioid use disorder on MAT and matched controls, p<0.05 Compton, et al., 2001 Cold-pressor pain tolerance of methadone-maintained and matched control subjects, p<0.02 Compton, et al., 2000 R03 DA09866, NIDA, PI: Compton

18. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia present at both peak and trough methadone blood levels Doverty et al., Pain, 2001 Opioid-induced hyperalgesia in heroin abusers: No change with OAT Compton et al., J Pain. 2012 4-8wks 12-18wks

19. Not a new observation At such times I have certainly felt it a great responsibility to say that pain, which I know is an evil, is less injurious than morphia, which may be an evil. Here experience is needed. Does morphia tend to encourage the very pain it pretends to relieve? On the abuse of hypodermic injections of morphia, Clifford Albutt, Practitioner 1870; 3:327-330 . He is also affected by a hypersensitiveness to pain, or a morbid intolerance of any kind of distress . He suffers. His suffering is actually great. To his astigmatic inner eye it seems even greater than it is. What is the morphine disease? Charles W. Carter Journal of Inebriety 1908;30:28-33.

20. Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia and Post-operative Pain Responses in patients on OAT On stable dose OAT x 3 months No opioid exposure x 3 months Oral surgical procedure with trauma rating of between 5 10 Prescribed NSAIDs for post-operative pain Compare: Pre-operative hyperalgesia (cold-pressor test) 72hr pain severity and medication use (pain diary) Schoenleber Pilot Grant Program, PI Compton

21. Pain Severity Ratings following Surgery Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia and Post-operative Pain Responses in patients on Opioid Agonist Therapy 8 * 7 6 VAS pain severity 5 4 3 2 1 0 not on opioids on opioids Number of doses of analgesics taken post-operatively no. of doses 0 2 4 6 8 10 on opioids not on opioids

22. Hyperalgesia persists 28 days following opioid detoxification Pain responses of opioid addicts (OA) and controls across time (means S.D.). Y-axis latency, tolerance, and pain intensity. ***p 0.0001 between controls and OAs. No differences between the three time points in the OAs group. Pud et al., Drug Alcohol Depend. 2006 May 20;82(3):218-23.

23. So, is the hyperalgesia in pts on OAT opioid-induced? Or are opioid abusers hyperalgesic by nature? Cold pressor pain tolerance (sec) 300 200 100 Pain intolerant Pain tolerant Walsh et al, 1989

26. Genetic propensity to develop opioid-induced hyperalgesia C57BL/6J common inbred - Poor baseline pain tolerance - Poor analgesia response - High opioid reinforcement Liang DY, et al., Pharmacogenet Genomics. 2006;16(11):825-35.

27. Elevated pain sensitivity in chronic pain patients at risk for opioid misuse No Opioids Pain sensitivity - ratings (0 100) for repeated punctuate mechanical stimuli SOAPP - Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients in Pain Low-Dose Opioids High-Dose Opioids Edwards RR ,et al. The Journal of Pain, 2011 ,

28. Pain Responses in Chronic Pain patients who did and did not develop OUD Compton et al., 2020 Based on past 12 months chart review and clinician interview: OUD (n=20) Non-OUD (n=20) no previous history of substance use disorder (except nicotine dependence) prior to beginning long- term opioid therapy endorse DSM-5 criteria for OUD on both the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview and DSM- 5 checklist actively receiving treatment for an OUD no current or past history of a substance use disorder (except nicotine dependence) no evidence of ADRB all urine drug screens show presence of prescribed opioid & absence of non-prescribed or illicit drug do not endorse DSM-5 criteria for OUD on both the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview and DSM- 5 checklist

29. Temporal Summation

30. In Summary.. Pain and opioid use disorder are interrelated phenomena Patients on opioid-agonist therapy have increased sensitivity to pain Whether heightened pain sensitivity is opioid-induced or trait is not clear Complaints of pain from patients with OUD should be taken seriously and managed aggressively
