Chronic and Transitional Pain Medicine

Chronic pain research is currently focusing on the development and dissemination of best practice guidelines for chronic pain management.

The Canadian Opioid Guideline for safe and effective use of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain was recently developed. The plan is to develop more guidelines by supporting clinical trials and systematic reviews that investigate the diagnosis and management of various pain conditions.
