Concept explainers
Despite the widespread use of opioids to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain there is little quality data on their effectiveness, especially over the long term. The current study was designed to compare the effectiveness of opioid medication vs nonopioid medication over 12 months for patients with moderate to severe chronic back pain or hip or knee osteoarthritis pain. Outcomes were pain-related function and pain intensity. The results showed that treatment with opioids was not superior to treatment with non-opioid medications for improving function and in fact pain intensity was significantly lower with non-opioid treatment. In addition, adverse medication-related symptoms were significantly more common in the opioid group. The authors conclude that commencing opioid therapy for moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain is not supported.
