Cancer Doctors Prescribing Fewer Opioids Since Opioid Crisis

PainRelief.com: What should readers take away from your report?

Response: This study was a retrospective database review, and therefore has several limitations, the most important being that while we are able to show a statistical connection between opioid prescribing changes from 2013-16 vs 2017-19, we cannot determine with certainty the exact cause of this finding.

I have no disclosures related to this study.
