Description
Pain is a common problem in Medicare End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Hemodialysis (HD) patients, but its prevalence varies widely by geography, dialysis unit, and possibly, ethnicity. Pain has been linked to decreased quality of life, lack of social support, depressed mood and other mental health disorders. Chronic opioid prescription has been identified in approximately 20% of US ESRD HD patients, far higher than in Medicare comparison populations. Opioid doses prescribed to HD patients exceed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. Prescription and dose level have been associated with increased hospitalizations and mortality in this population. Interventions including behavioral modification techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral/Group Therapy and social media platforms for sharing information and enhancing social support have not been employed to reduce perception of pain and the rate of opioid prescription, dose and opioid use, as well as addressing comorbid related issues such as depression, and anxiety in the HD population.Medical interventions such as use of naloxone and buprenorphine have not been evaluated by randomized controlled trials in HD patients who use opioids. The ESRD population, because of its continuous longitudinal participation in monitored treatment and the availability of data resources is an ideal population in which to launch and monitor interventions. The Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE) consortium composed of 5 or 6 Clinical Centers (CCs)and a Scientific and Data Research Center (SDRC) will develop an intervention to simultaneously address the problem of pain and opioid use in US HD populations by a) initiating multipronged pain treatment tailored individually to each patient, without opioids, and b) using buprenorphine and other novel agents to reduce dependence on opioids in affected patients.
