Low dose naltrexone (LDN) has emerged as a possible nonopioid treatment option for multiple chronic pain disorders. When used off-label for pain, naltrexone is administered at significantly lower doses than the standard, FDA-approved doses used for the treatment of opioid and alcohol dependence. In this course we will review the rationale and evidence supporting use of LDN for the treatment of chronic pain conditions as well as practical considerations.
