Opioid use predicts self-reported mobility in older adults with chronic lower back pain

The Journal of Pain May 14, 2021

Buchanan T, Rumble D, Watts K, et al. - Researchers herein focused on the link between self-reported opioid use and self-reported mobility among patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP). This analysis involved 140 cLBP participants. Among cLBP participants, there was more probability of having greater self-reported difficulty climbing stairs, walking for fifteen minutes, performing chores, and running errands, in those who self-reported opioid use. Thus, poorer self-reported mobility was shown to be predicted by opioid use among adults and older adults with cLBP. These findings inform links between pain management and mobility in aging populations.
