Risk of pain medication misuse after spinal cord injury: The role of substance use, personality, and depression

Our purpose was to identify risk of pain medication misuse (PMM) among participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) by examining associations with multiple sets of risk factors including demographic and injury characteristics, pain experiences, frequency of pain medication use, substance use, personality, and depressive symptoms. Risk of PMM was defined by a cut-off score equal to or greater than 30 as measured by the Pain Medication Questionnaire (PMQ) and examined in 1,619 adults with traumatic SCI of at least 1-year duration who reported at least one painful condition and use of prescription pain medication using a cross-sectional design.
