To investigate the correlation between baseline serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and quality of life (QoL), as well as pain perception in patients with chronic pain with long-term prescription opioid usage before opioid detoxification. We prospectively studied 45 patients with chronic pain with long-term prescription opioid usage who were selected for elective detoxification. Baseline serum 25-OHD levels were measured prior to detoxification, classifying patients as either vitamin D deficient (<75 nmol/L) or sufficient (≥75 nmol/L).
