Opioids in Treatment of Refractory Dyspnea in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Yes, No or Maybe
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38541060/
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a complex condition with significant impact on prognosis, especially in advanced stages where symptom burden becomes critical. Breathlessness affects patients' quality of life, and...
This paper reviews recent evidence on opioid use for managing breathlessness in COPD, assessing clinical benefits, inconsistencies, and identifying patient subgroups that might benefit from opioid therapy.
