ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The efficacy and tolerability of oral controlled-release oxycodone in the therapy of musculoskeletal pain were analyzed in this observational study. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 843 patients with severe to most severe pain in the musculoskeletal system were treated with controlled-released oxycodone for 4 weeks or up to a maximum of 6 months. Severity of pain, impairment in quality of life, and mobility associated with the pain were assessed before and during therapy with controlled-release oxycodone by a numerical rating scale (NRS 0-10).RESULTS:
Pain intensity fell by an average of 65% within the first 4 weeks. Physical therapy was practicable in many patients only after implementation of a therapy regime with controlled-release oxycodone. Quality of life improved significantly under therapy with oxycodone, and the impairment of different aspects of life decreased by 50%.CONCLUSION:
The therapy of pain of the musculoskeletal system with controlled-release oxycodone is efficient. An effective pain relief makes physical therapy practicable, reduces the impairment in different parts of life, and increases quality of life.
