Treating a common comorbidity: pain outcomes following a 3-week cognitive processing therapy-based intensive treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder address.
This study examined changes in pain, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depressive symptoms among 125 veterans completing a 3-week cognitive processing therapy (CPT)-based intensive treatment program (ITP) for PTSD. The authors explored whether pretreatment pain interference predicted changes in PTSD and depressive symptom severity and whether larger changes in pain interference over the course of treatment were associated with larger changes in PTSD and depressive symptom severity. Higher levels of pretreatment pain interference were associated with higher PTSD, and depressive symptom severity, over time. Larger reductions in pain interference corresponded to more improvement in PTSD symptoms, but not depressive symptoms.

Chronic use of opioid medications before and after bariatric surgery.
This study of 11,179 obese patients receiving bariatric surgery found that among the 933 who were using opioids chronically before bariatric surgery, 77 percent continued chronic opioid use in the year following surgery (excluding the first 30 days after surgery). The amount of chronic opioid use was greater postoperatively than preoperatively.
