Research Article: Prenatal opioid exposure alters pain perception and increases long-term health risks in infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome

Date Published: 2025-04-17

Abstract:
Background: Opioids are often prescribed for pain relief, yet they pose risks such as addiction, dependence, and overdose. Pregnant women have unique vulnerabilities to opioids and infants born to opioid-exposed mothers could develop neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). The study of opioid-induced epigenetic changes in chronic pain is in its early stages. This study aimed to identify epigenetic changes in genes associated with chronic pain resulting from maternal opioid exposure during pregnancy.
