[#DIV28SUPER] PCORI: Clinical Strategies for Managing and Reducing Long-Term Opioid Use for Chronic Pain

Dear Colleagues,

PCORI didn’t receive enough meritorious proposals to spend the $40 million allocated for the PFA described below.  The PCORI Board of Governors voted today to reopen the PFA to spend out the remaining $19 million.  I’ll forward the formal announcement as soon as it becomes available. Please consider applying.

Clinical Strategies for Managing and Reducing Long-Term Opioid Use for Chronic Pain | View the funding announcement | View the topic brief

·         Among patients with chronic non-cancer pain on moderate to high-dose long-term opioid therapy, what is the comparative effectiveness of strategies for reducing/eliminating opioid use while managing pain?

·         Among patients on moderate/low-dose long-term opioid therapy, what are the comparative effectiveness and harms of strategies used to limit dose escalation?

Best,
