Opioid Use in Chronic Pain Management: Guidelines for Prescribers
Tracking # 20-1289312
Course overview
The emphasis on pain management to improve quality of life and function has contributed to a significant increase in opioid prescriptions. As such, there has been a concurrent increase in risk of misuse and abuse. This course will discuss the use of nonpharmacologic and nonopioid pharmacologic therapy over opioids in the management of chronic pain. Clinicians must carefully monitor the patient and be alert for signs that risks outweigh benefits of opioids. This course will address issues related to opioid prescribing, chronic pain, and opioid use disorder.
