AbstractPain management epitomizes the value of a multidisciplinary approach to caring for patients, yet regrettably, the term pain management has too often become synonymous with prescribing opioids only. Optimal chronic pain management requires a skillset most conducive to a multidisciplinary team approach and should be performed in a scientifically and clinically sound manner. It is with these facts in mind that we offer our view of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain.© 2018 American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
