Whether in a geriatric or younger population, in patients with cancer or non-cancer chronic pain, the most common side effect of opioid therapy is constipation, known as opioid-induced constipation (OIC). OIC affects between 40% and 95% percent of those taking opioids for pain. Even a single dose of an opioid can induce constipation. In addition, unlike other opioid-related side effects that improve over time, OIC does not improve and remains chronic as long as the patient receives the medication. |

Conference presenters provided attendees with the latest

of multiple sclerosis (MS), the role of MRI in the
diagnosis and management of MS, and provided information

optimizing therapy in relapsing MS.
