Definición
- It is estimated that 50 million to 75 million people suffer from malignant or nonmalignant chronic pain, yet only about 25% of them receive adequate treatment. Although a variety of pharmacological and nonphar-macological interventions exist, the use of opioids—that is, drugs containing naturally occurring or synthetic analgesics including morphine, methadone, oxycodone (OxyCotin, Percocet, Roxicet), and hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin)—for chronic pain management is a topic that continues to divide perspectives in the medical and addiction communities.
