Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The Center for Disease Control has labeled the opioid prescription drug crisis an "epidemic" in the United States and recently this epidemic has been named a public health emergency. Various medical and surgical societies have begun to release general opioid prescribing guidelines for providers addressing acute pain, but these do not highlight the patient perspective or experience. Identifying an acceptable opioid dose and duration has remained a challenge and is a nuanced process. Though policy and provider driven changes may begin to augment practice, these avenues may miss a crucial perspective; the patient's.
