Strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse among patients with gastrointestinal disorders: a systematic scoping review.
In this study, the investigators conducted a systematic scoping review to describe published scientific literature on strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse among patients with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and disorders. They concluded that prescription drug monitoring and self-management interventions may be promising strategies to identify and reduce opioid misuse in GI care. They suggest that rigorous, empirical research is needed to evaluate the longer-term impact of these strategies.
