“…1 For both acute and chronic pain management, the report emphasized the need for individualized, multimodal, and multidisciplinary approaches that decrease the over-reliance on opioids, increase access to care, and promote widespread education on pain and substance use disorders to eliminate stigma. 2 A critical gap highlighted in the report is the presence of inconsistencies and fragmentation in the current paradigm of pain care, and the Inter-Agency Task Force called on specialty organizations and associations to generate evidencebased guidelines that promote 'coordinated and collaborative care.' 1 In response, medical specialty societies, both individually or in partnership, have provided some clinical guidance on safe opioid prescribing and acute pain management.…”

The US Health and Human Services Pain Management Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force initiated a public–private partnership which led to the publication of its report in 2019. The report emphasized the need for individualized, multimodal, and multidisciplinary approaches to pain management that decrease the over-reliance on opioids, increase access to care, and promote widespread education on pain and substance use disorders. The Task Force specifically called on specialty organizations to work together to develop evidence-based guidelines. In response to this report’s recommendations, a consortium of 14 professional healthcare societies committed to a 2-year project to advance pain management for the surgical patient and improve opioid safety. The modified Delphi process included two rounds of electronic voting and culminated in a live virtual event in February 2021, during which seven common guiding principles were established for acute perioperative pain management. These principles should help to inform local action and future development of clinical practice recommendations.

“…13,14 Current guidelines support the use of chronic opioid therapy in a multimodal approach that addresses the biological, psychological and environmental factors that contribute to the chronic pain landscape. [13][14][15][16][17] Recent recommendations on the best practice for pain management place emphasis on individualized and patient-centred care, which uses state-of-the-art pain management strategies. Other recommendations include improving patient access to care and the education of providers, patients and the general public.…”

Patients’ Beliefs in Optimal Pain Management: A Pilot Study

Opioids are commonly prescribed for chronic pain despite potential adverse side effects, risks of misuse and abuse, and limited evidence for improved outcomes. Patients’ perspectives and understanding of pain management may impact treatment approaches and the success of therapies. Yet, few studies have investigated how patients’ beliefs in optimal pain management may influence their care. We prospectively surveyed 200 patients with chronic pain with the aim of assessing patients’ beliefs on the optimal management of their chronic pain. The following significant findings were made: 1) most responders agreed that opioid medication was the best way to control pain (p<0.05), especially those currently taking opioids (p<0.0001); 2) those who received injections for pain disagreed that opioids were the best way to control pain (p<0.0001); 3) most participants were aware of other options to control pain (p<0.05), but patients on opioids were significantly less aware of other options for pain control (p<0.05). This study demonstrated that most patients with chronic pain surveyed in our clinic believed that opioids were the best option for treating their chronic pain, but this finding did not hold true for those who were exposed to other interventions for their pain, such as injections. Pain physicians may encounter resistance when attempting to incorporate non-opioid and or non-pharmacological therapies for chronic pain management. Further research may help determine whether patient education and exposure to such therapies can help combat these challenges.
