Program description:
Patients using opioids stand to benefit from a reassessment of therapy and consideration of tapering. Patients are often fearful of opioid withdrawal and worsening pain if they taper their use and may be worried about a lack of alternatives for pain relief. Addressing patient reluctance or resistance is difficult but necessary and may be the key to improved safety and long-term improvement. In this webinar, Palmer MacKie, MD, will discuss methods to wean and rotate opioids to achieve better symptom control.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Analyze data showing that chronic opioids are often not the better treatment.
- Evaluate data that suggests when opioids might be useful for non-malignant pain.
- Identify four key domains to address when discussing therapeutic weans with patients.
- Appreciate the possible benefits and perils of weaning.
- Summarize methods to wean and rotate opioids to achieve better symptom control.
Speaker:
Palmer MacKie, MD
Internal Medicine Specialist and Pain Management Physician
About our speaker:
Dr. MacKie’s most prominent clinical and educational focus over the last decade has been chronic pain and recovery. He was part of a team that developed the Integrative Pain Program (IPP), a five-week pain school where patients were exposed to and practiced such modalities as relaxation response, cognitive-behavioral therapy, nutritional medicine, graduated exercise, guided imagery, mindfulness, and knowledge critical to making healthier choices. The IPP’s approach coupled psychological and physical functional rehabilitation and used patients’ strengths and self-identified life values and goals. The effort and energy were directed toward making progress and improving self-efficacy through achieving reasonable and life-enhancing goals. Dr. MacKie continues to work with the Indiana Attorney General's Office on matters related to the use of controlled substances and has moved to Indiana University Health North to perform ambulatory care.
