Outpatient buprenorphine micro-induction for an older adult with chronic pain and opioid use disorder: a case report
Listen to this summary
This case report explores the feasibility and effectiveness of outpatient buprenorphine micro-induction for an older adult with chronic pain and severe opioid use disorder. The authors demonstrate that this approach allows for a safe transition from full opioid agonists to buprenorphine without requiring abstinence, resulting in improved pain management and overall functioning for the patient. The findings highlight the potential benefits of micro-induction in older adults with complex medical histories and ongoing opioid therapy.
