What it's testing
The objective of this prospective, non-randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led Opioid Stewardship Program (OSP) in outpatient adults with chronic non-cancer pain. This study compared OSP implementation with a historical control to determine whether it reduces the incidence of high-risk opioid prescribing and improves patients' awareness, knowledge, and attitudes about opioid use.
