Study Summary

The investigators hypothesize that subjects will have greater pain relief when taking IR-oxycodone compared with ER-oxycodone for several reasons. The ability to take a varying amount of medication at six different points over the course of a day will allow patients to take as much (or as little) medication as they need to control their pain. In addition, the ability to vary the medication doses in this way will give them a greater sense of control, which will also contribute to greater pain relief. Similarly, the investigators predict that patients will show greater benefits with IR-oxycodone on the measures of physical and emotional functioning. Because there is relatively little data on sleep apnea in chronic pain patients (Webster et al., 2008), these assessments are exploratory and not hypothesis-based. Finally, although it is typically thought that the abuse liability of IR-opioid medications is greater than for ER-medications, the data on which this belief are based have not involved systematic studies of patients with chronic pain; the assessments of abuse liability will therefore also be exploratory.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome measure for this clinical trial will be pain relief documented in the subjects' daily pain diaries. Specifically, the average of the daily pain ratings recorded by subjects during the final weeks of the two treatment periods will be compared. The treatment comparison of interest is IR-oxycodone vs. ER-oxycodone, which will be tested at the p \< 0.05 level using a two-tailed test.
