Chronic Pain

Evidence published in Journal of Addiction Medicine showed that combined use of opioid and cannabis was linked to greater symptoms of anxiety, depression and substance use problems compared with opioid use alone in adults with chronic pain.

Telehealth interventions delivered online, over the phone and with and without clinician interaction improved outcomes in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain in addition to depression and/or anxiety, according to study results recently published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
