BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Deprescribing long-term opioids, Diagnosing concussion

Opioids for long-term pain and evidence for deprescribing them. Diagnosing concussion.

Opioids for long-term pain and evidence for helping people to come off the drugs. An objective pitch-side test that takes the guesswork out of diagnosing concussion.

Research suggests opioids don't work in long-term chronic pain but dispensing in the UK has risen four-fold since the nineties, and we consume more than any other country in Europe. There is a dearth of good evidence for how best to help people come off these drugs. Mark Porter meets the team trying to change that. And an objective pitch-side test that takes the guesswork out of diagnosing concussion.
