Methadone dose testing for opioid use disorder pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares taking methadone as one dose versus split into two doses to see which approach works better for people who have pain. It’s meant for adults already on a steady methadone program and who can follow study visits and procedures.
