Adams MH, et al. - In view of the great variations in the pain experience among individuals reporting equally high levels of pain, researchers examined the prevalence and correlates of pain interference categories (low, medium, and high) among patients with high pain intensity who are prescribed long-term opioid therapy. Findings revealed low impairment among 16.4% of participants with high pain intensity. In multivariate analyses, lower depression scores and higher pain self-efficacy were identified as the variables significantly associated with low pain interference.
