Well, at least they work…In a large epidemiologic study in Denmark, chronic pain patients using opioids had worse pain, higher health care utilization and lower activity levels than matched chronic pain patients not using opioids.1
Opioid use may go against important principles of chronic pain management including increased self-efficacy, reduced reliance on the health care system, reinforcement of pain behavior, and passivity and loss of autonomy by externalization of the locus of control.2

…or maybe not.A systematic review of randomized trials for multiple opioids utilized for managing various chronic pain conditions, showed fair evidence for tramadol in managing osteoarthritis. For all other conditions and all other drugs excluding tramadol, the evidence was poor based on either weak positive evidence or indeterminate or negative evidence.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS HEALTH SYSTEM’S GUIDELINES REGARDING THE PRESCRIBING OF OPIOIDS FOR CHRONIC
INTRACTABLE NON-CANCER PAIN
Chronic Intractable Pain is a challenging problem faced by the practicing physician. It is a common presenting complaint in the outpatient setting. The treatment of this condition is complex and nuanced, but for some patients, after a thorough evaluation has been completed and after numerous alternate treatments have been considered or attempted, opioid therapy may be a consideration.
It is well known that there are substantial risks associated with the treatment of chronic pain with opioids, including but not limited to, tolerance, physical dependence, psychological dependence, addiction, opioid-induced hyperalgesia and death. There is also a risk of diversion that may complicate this form of treatment. University Hospitals (“UH”) wishes to mitigate the treatment risks and professional risks of its physicians associated with the prescribing of opiods for the treatment of chronic non-cancer pain. After extensive review and discussion, UH is recommending the following set of guidelines for its physicians to follow when the treatment of chronic intractable non-cancer pain with opioids is undertaken. 1. Prior to considering any prescription of opioids for a chronic non-cancer pain condition, such as low back pain, a referral to a pain medicine specialist should be sought to evaluate for other treatment options besides opioids. Chronic opioid therapy should be considered only after exhausting other non-opioid options.
