Low back pain is a prevalent issue that presents challenges in its treatment. While opioids are often used to manage low back pain (LBP), evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness is limited, and they come with significant adverse effects. This instructional module aims to provide the entire healthcare team with a structured approach to integrating opioids into the management of low back pain. The instructors will stress the significance of incorporating opioid usage within a comprehensive pain management strategy that
1. Takes into account psychosocial factors contributing to pain;
2. Recognizes that opioids are not the first-line treatment for LBP and may not be suitable for all patients;
3. Utilizes non-opioid treatment options;
4. Consistently incorporates strategies to minimize risks and reassess patients periodically.
