I think that in general, for those that can reduce their opioid meds, reducing exposure to unwanted side effects is always a good thing. My only input on this is that unfortunately while this study has some merit, by design it really doesn't apply to RSD/CRPS patients. The patient cohort has no RSD/CRPS patients in it; all diagnosis are unrelated so there really is no conclusion, good or bad, that can be drawn for us on the basis of this study alone unless your chronic pain is as a result of one of the diagnosis listed in the study. It may well be valid for us, it is just that you can't use this particular study to say so. Great read, though!
