A patient may be on controlled-release morphine, but needs a top-up when there is breakthrough pain in cancer, i.e. for bone metastases. Very distressing indeed for the patient until they get the relief they need.
liz askew Apr 27, 2011:
Hi, just to make it crystal clear, they are talking of opioid usage for treating breakthrough pain. Nothing to do with the other meaning of breakthrough, i.e. "new/innovative/revolutionary"...

uso innovador promedio del opioide

Carolina:

Te sugiero lo anterior, pero como señaló Liz, la oración está mal escrita. Es redundante hablar de use y usage en esta oración. Además, habría que tener más contexto para entender por qué es un "breakthrough". En todo caso, me parece que se refiere a lo que propongo.
Suerte.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your response, actually, in this context the term breakthrough is used as (analgésico/opioide) de rescate
Peer comment(s):

neutral liz askew : innovador is incorrect here, they are talking about breakthrough pain.

Hi
Your phrase seems to be oddly expressed in English

Breakthrough pain I have heard of

but not breakthrough opioid usage

so don't they mean "usage/use of opioids for breakthrough pain"? i.e.

opioid for breakthrough pain relief

also
in your phrase you have an instance of "usage" followed by "use" so that seems odd too.
