Patient phenotyping in clinical trials of chronic pain treatments: IMMPACT recommendations.

Research approaches for evaluating opioid sparing in clinical trials of acute and chronic pain treatments: Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials recommendations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) consensus recommendations for the design of opioid-sparing clinical trials based on the following definition: any intervention that prevents the initiation of treatment with opioid analgesics, decreases the duration of such treatment, reduces the total dosages of opioids that are prescribed for or used by patients, or reduces opioidrelated adverse outcomes (without increasing opioid dosages), all without causing an unacceptable increase in pain.
