Description
An account of the resource
Background: Buprenorphine is an opioid medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. In Canada, buprenorphine is not indicated for use in the pediatric population and literature surrounding its use in pediatrics is limited. Our aim was to evaluate the safety of transdermal buprenorphine in a pediatric palliative care setting.Methods: Our study was performed at the IWK Health Centre. Medical records of 11 patients were examined for specific clinical characteristics. The study focused primarily on descriptive results; standard data analyses were not performed.Results: Buprenorphine was found to be well tolerated in our patient population. There were no adverse effects reported in 8 of 11 patients during their treatment with buprenorphine. The remaining 3 patients described mild adverse effects in the form of skin irritation which resolved with topical steroid treatment. Efficacy was reported as anecdotal quotes from patient records.Conclusion: In this study, the use of buprenorphine in this setting was safe in a small group of patients, with the only mild adverse effect noted being a contact dermatitis in 3 patients which resolved quickly. Other studies have also demonstrated buprenorphine to be a safe and an effective opioid for the treatment of severe pain at the end of life in a pediatric population. Given these results, the implementation of buprenorphine in pediatrics may be safe for use in patients who are unable to tolerate traditional opioid analgesic therapies.

Description
An account of the resource
A preliminary evaluation to review the scope and quality of evidence surrounding transdermal buprenorphine use in the pediatric setting for non-surgical pain was conducted. Our review revealed limited data available on the use of transdermal buprenorphine in pediatric patients. Most studies surrounding this subject involve accidental ingestion of buprenorphine and its use in the treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome. While indicated for use only in adult populations, small studies have shown encouraging results in reducing pain in children with few, if any, adverse effects. This is reassuring from a clinical perspective, as we hope to highlight the available evidence and invite researchers to expand future studies. Through this review, we have identified significant gaps in the literature surrounding the safety and use of buprenorphine in the pediatric population. To our knowledge, there are no major studies investigating this subject, and it is our hope that future studies will explore the use of transdermal buprenorphine as an alternative pain management technique in pediatrics. The intent of our scoping review is to highlight the lack of research in this area; therefore, future studies may be conducted to support its use in North America.
