Abstract

Opioids are the most prescribed analgesics for pain in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), however the consequences of opioid use on IBD severity is not well defined. This is the first study investigating consequences of hydromorphone in both dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis and spontaneous colitis [IL-10 knockout (IL-10-/-)] mouse model of IBD.
