We do not provide long term opioid prescription. We may prescribe opioid prescription while we are actively managing your pain with interventional pain treatment, but you will eventually be transitioned off of opioid.
Per the statement by the American Academy of Neurology, there is insufficient evidence that opioids are effective for the treatment of chronic pain, particularly neuropathic pain, and clear evidence that they often worsen migraines. As such, we do not support the use of opioid for chronic pain.
