MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC NONMALIGNANT PAIN

Chronic non-malignant pain is often treated inadequately because of op iophobia. There is no scientific justification for this fear. With clo se monitoring and frequent controls, opioids are safe for this kind of pain. There is no scientific evidence that patients with chronic non- malignant pain are more prone to addiction or tolerance, it is also pe rtinent to consider that the endpoint of chronic pain treatment is not just freedom from pain but global wellbeing.
