Opioids have been used as analgesics for many years, and their use
in the management of acute pain related to trauma and surgery is
well established. However, patients with persisting pain need a
pain management plan that brings relief of symptoms without adverse
effects in both the short and longer terms. The prescribing of
opioids for chronic non-cancer pain has increased substantially
since the first edition of this pocketbook was published, prompting
considerable debate regarding the appropriateness of prescribing
for this indication and the potential harms to individuals and to
society that may result from this trend. This second edition of
Opioids in Non-Cancer Pain brings clinicians up to date on the
current use of opioid drugs in patients with non-cancer pain, and
highlights the potential benefits of therapy as well as the
problems that can occur. The edition includes new chapters on the
history of opioids to help contextualize the following discussions,
and a new chapter covering the emerging field of pharmacogenomics
which provides explanations for differing responsiveness to opioids
and propensity to adverse effects. An international perspective on
opioid prescribing trends is also a valuable new addition.
