Opioid induced Hyperalgesia.
Shane Le Brun made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was successful.
From: Shane Le Brun
Dear Ministry of Health,
OIA request, statistics.
I would like to know if the ministry of health keeps record of the occurrence of Opioid induced Hyperalgesia, (OIH) a common side effect of long term use of Opiods in the management of Chronic Pain.
If the MOH does keep record of this complication, can I have an annual breakdown for the last 5 years of how many occurrences per year, and a tally of which Opiates were responsible for OIH?
Yours faithfully,
Shane Le Brun
Ministry of Health
