Pain Management

One of the most important advances in the field of medicine has been an end to chronic pain. No patient today needs to suffer ongoing discomfort that impedes their quality of life, thanks to modern pain management techniques. When prescribed in the right amounts for the right patients, prescription pain medications can elevate quality of life and provide peace of mind.

Unfortunately, the abuse of pain medications is rampant. Many prescriptions intended for legitimate use are taken incorrectly (either on purpose or accidentally,) sold, shared, or mixed with illegal, uncontrolled substances, creating an avalanche of problems to be solved by the physician. Opioid abuse can lead to addiction, loss of livelihood, social decline, and even death. To control this siege, healthcare professionals must employ drug monitoring firms and expert toxicologists to enhance compliance.

On the pulse of cutting-edge technology

At Spark Labs, we use state-of-the-art Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) technology to effectively evaluate and quantify a wide array of compounds, identifying individual drug analytes with a high degree of accuracy and certainty.

The LC technique separates unique analytes within a small patient sample while MS assesses compounds based on their mass-to-charge ratio. By combining LC and MS, our toxicologists can ascertain with great sensitivity the presence of specific drugs and their metabolites.

Which specimens are preferred?

The most common method of drug detection is urine, due to its cost-effectiveness and non-invasiveness. There are no risks of bleeding, infection, or contamination. Saliva is also a popular collection method, although slightly more costly than urine. Drug concentrations in saliva approximate the accuracy of blood testing more closely than those in urine.
