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.
