While data supporting the limited use of opioids for post-operative pain has been established, a survey of randomly selected oral and maxillofacial surgeons showed that 22% still prescribed more than 20 opioid tablets and 11% prescribed 30 tablets or more, to high-risk, opioid-naive adolescents, opening the door to misuse and/or diversion.
In the first episode of this CMEOCast podcast series on practice guidelines for pain management, expert faculty discuss utilizing a validated tool to assess patients for risk of misuse and diversion of opioids, as well as applying evidence that supports non-opioid management and whether over the counter treatment options can adequately treat post-operative pain.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply evidence and guideline recommendations supporting non-opioid pain management to treatment decision-making.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Describe evidence and guideline recommendations supporting non-opioid pain management for treatment decision-making.
