Abstract
Opioids play a much smaller role in the management of chronic noncancer pain than they do in that of severe acute pain and cancer pain. They are beneficial in a small subset of patients with chronic noncancer pain but there are pharmacological, psychological and societal concerns about their current widespread use for this indication.
