Exclusive: OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma exploring bankruptcy – sources
(Reuters) - OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma LP is exploring filing for bankruptcy to address potentially significant liabilities from roughly 2,000 lawsuits alleging the drugmaker contributed to the deadly opioid crisis sweeping the United States, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The potential move shows how Purdue and its wealthy owners, the Sackler family, are under pressure to respond to mounting litigation accusing the company of misleading doctors and patients about risks associated with prolonged use of its prescription opioids.

Big Pharma Targeted at Senate Hearing on Opioid Crisis
Sen. Durbin questions need to make 14 billion opioid doses per year
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) took aim at Big Pharma during a
Senate hearing
Thursday on the opioid crisis.
"A few years ago there was a committee hearing, and they dislcosed that the pharmaceutical industry asked for permission to produce 14 billion opioid doses a year ... so that every adult in America could then fill a prescription for 3 weeks," he said at the hearing held by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. "They came up with 14 billion because they thought they could make money selling [that amount], and it was approved by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Think of that -- at a time when we're facing the worst drug epidemic in our history, a government agency is giving this industry permission to make 14 billion tablets!"

Educational Program May Improve Opioid Prescribing Practices
A one-time education program regarding safe, responsible
opioid prescribing
for clinicians prescribing these medications for the management of acute pain may improve their knowledge and confidence effectively and may increase guideline adherence, according to a study published in Pain Medicine.
All credentialed clinicians who prescribe opioids at the University of Washington (n=167) were requested to complete an educational program on safe and responsible opioid prescribing. Six months after completing the program, clinicians were asked to complete an online survey regarding their perception of improvements in knowledge and perceived competence in managing opioids for acute pain as well as on the impact of the use of 3 guidelines in clinical practice.

High Frequency TENS Beneficial in Chronic Low Back Pain
Daily use of a high-frequency
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
(hfTENS) device may reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), according to a study published in Pain Practice.
Cutaneous stimulation was found to be associated with analgesic benefits in individuals with neuropathic or musculoskeletal pain, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Investigators sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an hfTENS device for the treatment of mechanical CLBP.

New Drug Combination May Be An Effective Prophylactic for Opioid-Induced Nausea
CL-108, a new combination of a low-dose antiemetic with
hydrocodone
and acetaminophen, may be a safe and effective prophylactic medication for the treatment of opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (OINV) in individuals treated for moderate to severe acute pain, according to a study published in Pain Medicine.
CL-108, which consists of rapid-release 12.5 mg promethazine combined with 7.5 mg hydrocodone (HC) and 325 mg acetaminophen (APAP), was developed to reduce moderate to severe acute pain without opioid treatment-associated nausea. A total of 466 patients with moderate to severe pain associated with surgical removal of ≥2 affected third molar teeth (with ≥1 mandibular affected) were enrolled in this multicenter study. Pain was evaluated using a categorical pain intensity scale (PI-CAT). Participants were randomly assigned to receive CL-108 (n=211), HC/APAP (n=205), or placebo (n=50). Medications were taken on an as-needed basis every 4 to 6 hours. Participants were asked to self-assess their pain using the PI-CAT at regular intervals during a 24-hour period. Prospective assessments of nausea, vomiting, and other opioid-related adverse events were also performed. Co-primary end points included incidence of OINV and changes in pain intensity during the assessment period.

Evidence based medicine: a movement in crisis?
Trisha Greenhalgh and colleagues
argue that, although evidence based medicine has had many benefits, it has also had some negative unintended consequences.They offer a preliminary agenda for the movement’s renaissance, refocusing on providing useable evidence that can be combined with context and professional expertise so that individual patients get optimal treatment
It is more than 20 years since the evidence based medicine working group announced a “new paradigm” for teaching and practising clinical medicine.1 Tradition, anecdote, and theoretical reasoning from basic sciences would be replaced by evidence from high quality randomised controlled trials and observational studies, in combination with clinical expertise and the needs and wishes of patients.
