Practice Guideline[Long-term administration of opioids for non-tumor pain - LONTS guideline provides an orientation].
The long-term usage of opioid analgesics (> 3 months) for chronic, non-cancer related pain is critically discussed nationally and internationally. There are indications of under- and oversupply as well as misuse of opioids in Germany, but an "opioid epidemic" such as is evident in the USA cannot be detected at present. The S3-guideline LONTS (long-term usage of opioid analgesics for non-cancer related pain)serves as an orientation to improve provision of opioids and contains statements about the available evidence, indications and contraindications of use, as well as practical recommendations for managing a long-term opioid therapy.
