An article from US News & World Report centered around a study published in the June issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®). The study, “Satisfaction With Care After Reducing Opioids for Chronic Pain,” found no significant association between unfavorable patient satisfaction and opioid reductions for chronic pain; however, encounters with unestablished providers may slightly impair satisfaction when reducing opioids, the authors concluded.
