Opioids don't relieve acute low back or neck pain – and can result in worse pain, new study finds theconversation.com/opioids-… via @ConversationEDU

This trail used the recommended dose range for oxycodone-naloxone combination from the Australian Medicines Handbook
"oxycodone/naloxone 5/2.5–10/5 mg every 12 hours; adjust dose according to response after 1 week or less"
the researchers wanted to focus on acute low back pain without an underlying pathology - which is about 90%+ of all cases
from a quick look, 10mg seems to be a fairly standard dose for acute pain. @AndMacUSyd may have more info

So nice to see part of the puzzle explored. Would prescribers trust dose-prediction software? @drslstocker @Njt14 @osbornidayius @SVHSydney @UNSWMedicine
