Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how Florida's opioid restriction laws affect the use of prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), highlighting the need to assess any unintended consequences for patients who need pain relief.
- - It utilizes interrupted time series analyses to track the changes in NSAID prescriptions among participants from a large university health plan between January 2015 and June 2019, particularly focusing on the impact after the law limited opioid prescriptions to a 3-day supply.
- - Findings showed a slight increase in the number of NSAID users following the law’s implementation, but the change was not statistically significant, indicating that opioid restrictions may not meaningfully impact overall NSAID use or the supply duration for oral medications.
Article Synopsis
- - The management of chronic noncancer pain with chronic opioid therapy is controversial due to unclear definitions and guidelines, prompting this scoping review of the literature from 2000 to 2019.
- - Out of 227 studies analyzed, the majority defined chronic opioid therapy as having a "days' supply duration >90 days," with a notable increase in such definitions post-2016, while most studies focused on adults aged 18-64 and musculoskeletal pain types.
- - The findings highlight a trend toward more conservative criteria in recent literature, leading to recommendations for standardized definitions in both research and clinical practice.
