Pain, in particular chronic pain, continues to impact physical functioning, mental health, and reduced quality of life, and is the leading cause of disability in the United States, leading to updated practice guidelines for prescribing opioids for pain. In addition, federal and state laws continue to evolve to support safe pain management practices and safe opioid prescribing practices, while prescriptive authority of various practitioners is expanding.

Opioid analgesics are approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate or severe pain. However, individual patients differ greatly in clinical response to different opioid analgesics, and patient populations show widely variable response to the same opioid and dose. These response variations make opioid prescribing challenging. Further, the important role of opioid analgesics is broadly accepted in acute pain, cancer pain, and palliative and end-of-life care, but it is controversial for the management of chronic noncancer pain.
