Summary
Self-medication of pain with alcohol is a common, yet risky, behavior among individuals with
chronic orofacial pain. Chronic pain status may affect the degree to which alcohol use
relieves pain, but the independent contributions of pain chronification and alcohol-related
expectations and conditioning have not been previously studied. This project addresses this
gap in knowledge and will inform further research and clinical/translational efforts for
reducing risk associated with these behaviors.
