Congratulations to Dr Gavin Kolodge and CLEAR Center co-authors (Dr’s Gold, Jarvik, Turner, Hansen, Heagerty, Suri, Friedly) on their publication: Treatment with Opioids Is Not Associated with Poor Outcomes Among Older Adults with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Receiving Epidural Injections.
Dr Gavin Kolodge and team used CLEAR Center data from the LESS trial to conduct an analysis assessing how baseline treatment with opioids is associated with pain and function in older adults with lumbar spinal stenosis who receive epidural injections. The findings of this project were recently published in the Journal, Spine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36729991/
