ForwardCPD 6: Pain & Promise - Pain Management and Patient Contracts
Higher opioid prescribing puts patients at risk for addiction and overdose. According to the CDC (2016) since 1999 more than 165,000 people have died of an overdose related to prescription opioids and as many as 1 in 4 persons with chronic pain treated in primary care are prescribed opioids (approximately 50% of all prescribed opiates) and struggle with addiction. But chronic pain is also a significant issue. About 11% of Americans struggle with daily (chronic) pain. There is insufficient evidence that prescription opioids control chronic pain effectively over the long term, and there is evidence that other treatments can be effective with less harm. The need for alternative strategies from opiates for pain management and clear guidelines for use of opiates for chronic pain when no alternatives exist have led the CDC to develop Guidelines for Prescribing Opiates for Chronic Pain (2016).
