Description Use of opioids for chronic intractable pain is increasing globally, and
their proper use can improve patients’ quality of life. In contrast, opioid use disorders,
such as abuse or addiction, caused by prescribing opioids, are a worldwide
issue. This study aimed to understand current opioid prescribing patterns and pain
physicians’ experiences with opioid use in South Korea.
Pain physicians in 42 university hospitals in South Korea were asked to
complete anonymous questionnaires regarding opioid prescriptions.
