I presented the paper below at the ASAM annual meeting in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Understand that my findings are very preliminary, and should be attempted only by physicians with exceptional understanding of the risks of opioid treatments, under close monitoring.
The findings suggest a method to yield long-term, even permanent analgesia, at less risk than from agonists alone.
I am a Psychiatrist and PhD Neuroscientist in solo, private practice in NE Wisconsin. I treat adults, children and adolescents for all psychiatric conditions, with an emphasis on improving the strength of the doctor/patient relationship through longer appointments, greater access, and frequent e-mail communication.
I teach psychiatry at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and provide psychiatric servicies for the U of WI Oshkosh Campus. Finally, I provided expert witness testimony for a wide range of cases related to psychiatry, neurology, addiction, and chronic pain. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and lifetime-Board Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
