Description
Laurits Hemmingsen, Lærke Overgaard, Uffe Wiil, and Daniel Henriksen review digital tools that support opioid tapering in a 2026 paper. Family doctors manage most tapering, which means slowly lowering a patient opioid dose. Planning a taper takes time and must fit each patient dose options, costs, and preferences.
Following a standard scoping method, the team searched five databases in January 2026 and screened the results in duplicate. From more than two thousand records, only four studies fit, each describing a different decision support tool. The tools varied in format and setting, across primary and secondary care. Proof of clinical benefit and real world use was thin in all of them. The authors call for more development and testing.
