A new study in JAMA surgery assesses whether limiting opioids during surgery has any impact on postoperative pain and opioid consumption. The paper concluded that liberal use of opioids intraoperatively, specifically fentanyl, was associated with lower frequency of uncontrolled pain; a decrease in new chronic pain diagnoses reported at 3 months; fewer opioid prescriptions at 30, 90, and 180 days; and decreased new persistent opioid use, without significant increases in adverse effects.

The ICD-11 Task Force of IASP’s Pain in Childhood SIG invites you to share your opinion on the need for pediatric specifications in the ICD-11 chronic pain diagnoses. The inclusion of an independent category for chronic pain in the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) has been an important step towards the legitimization and standardization of chronic pain. The goal is to make the ICD-11 diagnoses more applicable to the pediatric population by developing pediatric specifications.
