L’objectif
We describe self-reported challenges obtaining prescription opioids among people prescribed opioids long-term for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) and explore associations with participant and treatment characteristics.
Constatations/points à retenir
One-third of participants with CNCP reported experiencing challenges obtaining prescriptions for opioids or having their opioid medicines involuntarily reduced. Given increasing restrictions to opioid access, it is important that strategies to reduce opioid-related harms are balanced against the current treatment needs of people prescribed opioids long-term for CNCP.
