The study compared people taking morphine\u2019s with people receiving a placebo pill.<\/p>\n<p>While people receiving a placebo pill had no brain changes at all, the morphine group had brain volume declines in reward- and pain-related regions and inclines in the cingulate regions.<\/p>\n<p>This findings are very interesting as morphine\u2019s are known as the most powerful painkillers but they have a huge addictive potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that some people become addicted, but we don\u2019t really know why \u2013 or how to stop it,\u201d Lin said. \u201cBy examining brain changes, we may be able to identify targets to prevent adverse opioid events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we are seeing that opioids rapidly change the brain, our take-home message is that opioids should be reserved for cases when most other treatment options have failed,\u201d said lead study author Dr. Joanne Lin, a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/diseases\/back-pain-treatment-in-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More treatment options for back pain here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/painmedicine.oxfordjournals.org\/content\/early\/2015\/12\/25\/pm.pnv047\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oxford Journals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recently released study researchers found out that taking morphine\u2019s for back pain shrinks the volume of your brain in certain areas while the volume increases in others.
