Dr. Jay Grider discusses how Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD) can help avoid the epidemiological issues of long-term opioid therapy.
WHY SHOULD I INCORPORATE TDD INTO MY PRACTICE?
The Control Workflow™ for Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD) is an approach to help eliminate systemic opioids and provide effective pain relief. The purpose of this workflow is to provide a treatment option for chronic pain using low-dose TDD. Patients should receive appropriate pain treatment based on careful consideration of benefits and risks of treatment options.
TDD has demonstrated a substantial reduction in the amount of drug required to effectively manage chronic pain. By having an outlined workflow, we are hoping to reduce perceived barriers to the TDD therapy.1
“TDD has a real future in the ability to take people off of systemic opiates providing them hope that they can continue to have pain relief and continue to have functional improvement.”
