Clinicians should review PDMP data when starting opioid therapy for subacute or chronic pain and periodically during opioid therapy for chronic pain.

The 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain is intended to improve communication between providers and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder and overdose. The Guideline is not intended for patients who are in active cancer treatment, palliative care, or end-of-life care.
