FEASIBILITY OF A TAPERING OPIOIDS PRESCRIPTION PROGRAM FOR TRAUMA PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK OF CHRONIC CONSUMPTION (TOPP-TRAUMA): PROTOCOL FOR A PILOT RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Feasibility of a tapering opioids prescription program for trauma patients at high risk of chronic consumption (TOPP-trauma): protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Opioid use disorder (OUD) and deaths related to the chronic use of opioids have increased significantly over the last two decades.Chronic consumption of opioids has been documented in many patients with traumatic injuries.Preliminary research findings have shown that interventions using cognitive-behavioral strategies were a pro
