Use of methadone as an alternative to morphine for chronic pain management: a noninferiority retrospective observational study.
Abstract
Chronic pain causes disability and is prevalent in the general population. Opioids are a part of a multimodal strategy for pain management. Methadone, a cheap and long-acting synthetic opioid, may represent an option for those who have limited access to the aforementioned class of analgesics. We aimed to provide a real-world evidence for the analgesic use of methadone, compared with morphine.
