INTRODUCTION: Pain and substance use disorders (SUDs) are common in bipolar
disorder (BD), yet the associations between these comorbid conditions are poorly
understood. Our hypotheses were: (1) the frequency of SUDs may vary according to
pain intensity in individuals with BD, (2) individuals with BD, pain and SUDs
may have specific characteristics, and (3) clinical variables could explain the
associations between pain and SUDs.
METHOD: We included outpatients from the FACE-BD cohort with a lifetime
diagnosis of BD type I or II. Current pain was categorized using one item of the
EQ-5D-5L scale as « no pain », « mild pain », « moderate pain », and « severe or
extreme pain ». Associations between pain level and other variables were tested
using bivariate analyses, while multiple regression was conducted to
characterize individuals with BD, pain and relevant SUDs. Finally, path analysis
was performed to examine whether clinical variables could explain the
associations between pain and relevant SUDs.
RESULTS: Among the 1897 BD participants, 927 reported any pain (48.9 %). Among
SUDs, higher pain levels were only associated with a history of lifetime alcohol
use disorder (AUD). Only individuals with both AUD and moderate to extreme pain
had a greater risk of having a history of lifetime anxiety disorder and panic
disorder. In path analysis, the association between lifetime AUD and pain was
partly mediated by current levels of depression, anxiety, and affective
lability.
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights multiple associations in individuals with BD
between the intensity of reported pain and history of lifetime AUD.
