Trial Information

Summary: Opioid-induced constipation

The Millennium Pain Center is looking for potential subjects to participate in a clinical research study of an investigational drug vs. placebo (an inactive substance) for opioid induced constipation in people being treated with prescription opioids for chronic non-malignant pain. Various types of painful conditions like osteoarthritis, back pain and neuropathic pain (postherpetic neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy) may be treated with opioids such as codeine, tramadol, morphine, and hydrocodone. Constipation is a common side effect of opioids.

This study lasts approximately 8 weeks and has 6 visits. Study related drugs (may include placebo), study related physical examinations and lab work are provided to participants in this study. Compensation is available to qualified subjects for each completed visit for time and travel.

Subjects interested in this study should:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Have a history of chronic, non-malignant pain for at least 2 months
  • Be taking oral, transdermal (skin patch), IV or injection opioids (narcotics) on a regular basis
  • Have a history of constipation due to opioid use for at least 1 month

One of our staff will be happy to make an appointment for you to discuss this research study in more detail.
