The Summit on Breakthrough Therapies for Addiction

Clinical trials for addictions and chronic pain often exclude participants with overlapping conditions, leaving a critical gap in understanding the interplay between pain and addiction. This session delves into the underappreciated connection between these two prevalent issues. By addressing the profound relationship between pain and addiction, we can develop more comprehensive strategies for assisting individuals in their recovery journey. Failing to address the root pain, whether emotional or physical, that initially led individuals to seek drugs can hinder the effectiveness of addiction treatment.
