ConclusionsThe CPLA advisory panel considered the “Safe and effective use of opioids for chronic non‐cancer pain” (published in 2010 by the NOUGG of Canada) to be valid, relevant to Latin America, practical, evidence‐based, concise, unambiguous, and sufficiently educational to provide clear instruction on OU and pain management and, thus, recommended for uniform adoption across the Latin America region.
