Integrating cognitive bias modification for pain and opioid cues into medication for opioid use disorder clinical care: Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary results.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite high co-occurrence, chronic pain is often unaddressed in treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) and little is known about mechanisms that may underlie associations between pain and opioid use. Using an attentional bias (AB) task with both pain and opioid cues, we evaluated a cognitive bias modification (CBM) task administered during regularly scheduled medications for OUD (mOUD) dosing visits. The current study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the CBM task. Outcomes for AB tasks used traditional mean-based score and trial-level bias scores (TLBS).

Methods

In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 28 individuals with OUD and chronic pain engaged in mOUD were randomized to either CBM or an AB control condition and
