Creencias, actitudes y percepciones de médicos, farmacéuticos y pacientes acerca de la evaluación y el tratamiento del dolor crónico no oncológico

The results of this study highlight the complex and multifactorial nature of pain treatment, requiring the design of improved intervention strategies. Factors to be considered are the high prevalence of uncontrolled pain, the low use of strong opioids, discrepancies in the frequency and methods used for systematic pain assessment, the existence of treatment concerns due to lack of information, and the perception that special regulation of opioids acts a barrier to their prescription.
