Pathways to Prevention: The Role of Opioids in the Treatment of Chronic Pain
|
Meeting/ Workshop

The Office of Disease Prevention coordinates the development of the Pathways to Prevention (P2P) program to host workshops that identify research gaps in a selected scientific area, identify methodological and scientific weaknesses in that scientific area, suggest research needs, and move the field forward through an unbiased, evidence-based assessment of a complex public health issue. The Role of Opioids in the Treatment of Chronic Pain was held September 29 – 30, 2014. Chronic pain is a major public health problem, which is estimated to affect more than 100 million people in the United States and about 20 – 30% of the population worldwide. The workshop was designed to clarify: 1) long-term effectiveness of opioids for treating chronic pain, 2) potential risks of opioid treatment in various patient populations, 3) effects of different opioid management strategies on outcomes related to addiction, abuse, misuse, pain, and quality of life, 4)effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies for opioid treatment, and 5) future research needs and priorities to improve the treatment of pain with opioids. The workshop was sponsored by the Office of Disease Prevention, the NIH Pain Consortium, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. A working group made up of content-area experts developed the workshop agenda and the Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center, through a contract with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, completed a systematic evidence review for the workshop. During the workshop, invited experts discussed the body of evidence and attendees provided comments during open discussion periods. After weighing the all of the evidence, an unbiased, independent, and multidisciplinary panel prepared a report that summarized the workshop and identified future research priorities. An abridged version of the panel’s report was published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a network of NIH-funded primary research sites and coordinating centers working collaboratively to develop a series of dynamic tools to reliably and validly measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PROMIS provides an opportunity to improve healthcare outcomes by giving decision makers hard data on how healthcare Affects what patients are able to do and how they feel. The FDA has been invited to contribute to the scientific steering committee meetings as an interested partner. CMS, CDC, and SAMHSA are working with PROMIS to coordinate use of PROMIS tools in programs of mutual interest.

Pediatric Abusive Head Trauma-Reviewing the Evidence Advancing Science
|
Meeting/ Workshop

|
The developmental sequelae of children who suffer maltreatment related injuries is understudied and there is a need to bring together researchers from different disciplines who study and provide a continuum of services to these children. Thus, the purpose of this conference was to build on the 2002 Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) sponsored conference on Inflicted Childhood Neurotrauma, review advances in the science from multiple disciplinary perspectives and to address definitional issues as well as implications for treatment, intervention and long-term outcomes for children. This meeting was an advisory to the new Pediatric Trauma & Critical Illness Branch (PTCIB) of NICHD and the proceedings will be used to inform a research agenda. This workshop was sponsored by PTCIB. The purpose of the meeting was to examine current findings on inflicted childhood neurotrauma, or Abusive Head Trauma (AHT), and related priorities. Day 1 of the workshop began with two presentations, one establishing a research agenda for AHT and the a broad overview of what is and is not known about AHT, followed by a roundtable discussion. Then there were two sessions, one on basic research in AHT and one on clinical, epidemiological, and translational research, each followed by a roundtable discussion. Day 2 began with a session reviewing highlights from the previous day, followed by a roundtable discussion. Participants then divided into three workgroups: basic science; clinical science; and treatment, outcomes, prevention, and rehabilitation. After completing their discussions, workgroups presented their findings.
