The Use of Oxytocin for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder
AbstractNearly 27 million people have an opioid use disorder (OUD) according to the 2016 Global Burden of Disease study, most of which occur in the US where opioids are a common class of medication used to treat acute and chronic pain. In 2016 alone, more than 60 million patients had at least one prescription for opioids filled or refilled. Over the past decade, prescription rates have risen astronomically and have created an epidemic in the US dubbed the “opioid crisis.” In this regard, there has been an increase in overdoses and OUD diagnoses. Several studies have found dysregulation of balance between several neurot...
