  • Lynn R. Webster (born November 10, 1950) is a pain researcher and physician. From 1990 to 2010, he headed Lifetree Pain Clinic with approximately 15 healthcare providers. In 2010, Dr. Webster left the pain clinic to focus full-time on clinical research. His research work centers on the development of safer and more effective therapies for chronic pain and addiction. He has studied the effects of opioids on sleep, the testing of new opioid formulations designed to deter misuse, and effective screening methods to prevent opioid misuse. His recent work includes evaluating drug induced respiratory depression to help clinicians understand safety boundaries when prescribing medications. He is also known for developing the Opioid Risk Tool (ORT) and for his public campaign to reduce overdose deaths from prescription medications. Webster is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for U.S. Policy and CMO at PainScript. He is the former Vice President of Scientific Affairs at PRA Health Sciences. In 2013, it was revealed that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had opened an investigation related to overdose deaths at the Lifetree Pain Clinic, beginning in 2010. Dr. Webster estimated that as many as 20 former patients of his clinic died of opioid overdoses. After nearly four years, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah declined to pursue charges, and the case was dropped. As of 2018 he has been named as a defendant in more than 80 class action lawsuits along with pharmaceutical companies that manufactured opioids. He featured prominently in the 2021 documentary film The Crime of the Century. (en)
