RESTORING BALANCE

Advances in the Management of Opioid-Induced Constipation

TARGET AUDIENCE The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of family physicians involved in the treatment of patients with opioid-induced constipation (OIC).

PREAMBLE

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW As many as 100 million adults in the United States suffer from chronic pain.1 Among the multitude of available treatment modalities, opioids are generally regarded as the cornerstone for cancer pain treatment and palliative care, and have gained increasing acceptance as an important therapeutic option for carefully selected patients with chronic noncancer pain.2,3 Yet the side effects of opioid therapy often create significant barriers to good patient outcomes.4,5 Constipation is the most common opioid-related adverse effect, affecting up to 50% of patients on long-term therapy.6-10 OIC is especially burdensome because—unlike for many other adverse effects of opioids— patients do not develop tolerance to treatment-related reductions in bowel motility and increases in gastrointestinal fluid absorption.5 Thus, clinicians who manage patients on opioid therapy must be prepared to integrate approaches that target adequate analgesia and reduce risks of aberrant prescription drug use with efforts to proactively consider and appropriately manage opioid-related side effects—most notably constipation. During this Interactive Exchange™ program, expert faculty will provide practical insights into structured evaluation of bowel habits, prophylactic bowel regimens, and newer pharmacologic approaches that antagonize opioid receptor activation in the gastrointestinal tract.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Discuss the fundamentals of opioid pharmacology with an emphasis on clinical effects of opioid receptor activation in the gastrointestinal tract • Proactively implement plans to address OIC in patients who have been selected for long-term opioid therapy • Longitudinally assess opioid-treated patients for problematic bowel function

• Individualize multimodal bowel regimens based on the degree of symptoms, treatment responses, and patient preferences • Counsel patients who have been selected for chronic opioid therapy about the risks of OIC, dietary recommendations, and potential benefits and drawbacks of various treatment approaches
