Opioid Use Patterns in Fibromyalgia Patients: A Retrospective Study

Saturday, November 15, 2025
8:48 AM - 8:56 AM CT
Location: 301 - 302
Introduction: Fibromyalgia patients often struggle to have pain acknowledged legitimately and access treatment. Patients may also face assumptions of opiate-seeking behavior when presenting for care, though one study found that only 6% of fibromyalgia patients at a large pain clinic were drug-seeking (Fitzcharles et al. 2011). Our study investigates opioid use trends in a sample of fibromyalgia patients following the updated CDC guidelines in 2016, which discouraged use of opioid therapies for fibromyalgia management.
