Introduction: Prescription opioid dose reductions can raise the risk of adverse events for patients on long-term opioid therapy for non-cancer pain. Evidence on whether risks differ by age or sex is needed to support tailored clinical decision-making.
Methods: In 2024, a secondary analysis of an observational cohort study was conducted across 8 U.

This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacological effects of haloperidol on the antinociceptive effects of buprenorphine and tramadol in rats. Dose-response curves were constructed for the individual administration of haloperidol, buprenorphine, and tramadol in rats subjected to the formalin (1%) test. All the compounds demonstrated dose-dependent antinociceptive effects when administered individually.

This case report details a successful transition of a patient with cancer-related pain from long-term methadone therapy to sublingual buprenorphine using a micro-induction protocol in an outpatient setting. The transition involved initiating low-dose transdermal buprenorphine while gradually tapering methadone, followed by the introduction of sublingual buprenorphine. This approach resulted in a smooth conversion without clinically evident withdrawal symptoms and led to improved pain control, reduced adverse effects, and enhanced functional status.

However, there is a paucity of evidence to support the practice of urine drug testing. We aimed to determine the association of alternative urine drug testing frequencies with opioid agonist treatment discontinuation, compared with no monitoring, among individuals receiving methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone treatment.
