How does the clinical opiate withdrawal scale (cows test) work? how accurate is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good tool: The clinical opiate withdrawal scale (cows) is a clinician-administered, pen and paper instrument that rates eleven common opiate withdrawal signs or symptoms. The summed score of the eleven items can be used to assess a patient's level of opiate withdrawal and to make inferences about their level of physical dependence on opioids.
