Elphinston RA, Sterling M, Leung J, et al. - Substance use and related harm can be effectively reduced using brief psychological interventions (BPIs). As there is no systematic review examining their potential to lower or avert prescription opioid use or related harm, and/or pain intensity in opioid-using patients with chronic noncancer pain, researchers here assessed patient interest in BPIs. Using 5 databases, they conducted a systematic review of studies published between 1980 and 2020. Six studies were identified in this review. Overall findings revealed the inconsistency between patient demand and the availability of evidence for BPIs targeting opioid use, related harm, and pain intensity.
