The Relation between Patients’ Beliefs about Pain Medication, Medication Adherence and Treatment Outcome in Chronic Pain Patients: A Prospective Study.

Abstract

Non-adherence to prescribed pain medication is common in chronic non-malignant pain patients. Beliefs about pain medication have been reported to be associated with non-adherence behaviour in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the relation between patients' beliefs about pain medication and their medication adherence and treatment outcome.
