Oxycodone, also known as Endone, is a potent opioid medication commonly prescribed for pain but new Australian evidence shows it’s time to rethink its use for more effective pain management and greater patient safety.
Multidisciplinary Pain Management
What is Multidisciplinary Pain Management? Dr. Jennifer Stevens
If you’ve got chronic pain that’s gone on for longer than three months or is very complex and started to affect other parts of your life, you’ll often be referred to a multidisciplinary pain clinic. Now, what does that mean? That means that we look at all the different aspects of your life and how the pain has affected it. So, it’s partly about the physical, it’s about drug safety, making sure that the medications that you’re on are not ones that you’re going to become dependent on, they’re not going to cause other problems within your life. It’s partly about making sure that nothing’s been missed in your diagnosis.
