L’objectif
There is a gap in literature on the impact of opium tincture (OT) on patients’ quality of life (QoL) compared to standard treatment options such as methadone.
Constatations/points à retenir
The mean score of patients’ QoL showed improvement compared to baseline, but differences were not statistically significant between OT and methadone arms (p = 0.786). Improvements were mainly observed within the first 30 days of receiving treatment. Being married and lower psychological distress were associated with an improved QoL. Within the social relationships domain, male gender showed significantly higher QoL compared to females.
