SUMMARY:2018 Webinar: Why Do Opioids Not Work Long Term in Workers' Compensation Patients?
DESCRIPTION:The Workers’ Compensation Practice Group hosted a complimentary webinar on January 12\, 2018\,  titled: Why Do Opioids Not Work Long Term in Workers’ Compensation Patients? \nClick here to listen to the recording of the webinar.\nAbout the Webinar:\n\nOpioids have been around since the 1950s and have been prescribed for multiple conditions – to suppress cough\, diarrhea\, treat addiction\, and most notably pain. Now\, they have become the most addictive\, most prescribed and most illegally used drugs in the United States. They aren’t even that effective long term. This webinar will look at possible reasons why long term opioids don’t usually work in terms of improving quality of life and function. In addition to updating “the opioid crisis\,” this session will explore possible reasons for failure. Opioid hyperalgesia and central effects of opioids; why opioids especially don’t work in many injured workers; the lack of anatomical pain generators in many of these patients; and the psychological basis of pain and resulting opioid failure. Dr. Hazlewood will look at two case studies of opioid failure in work-related injuries and will look at research data on problems with long term usage. Dr. Jeffrey Hazlewood\, Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation\, subspecialty Board Certification in Pain Medicine\, will look at two case studies of opioid failure in work-related injuries and will look at research data on problems with long term usage. \nPanelists:\nJEFFREY E.
