The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking stakeholders' perspectives on and experiences with pain and pain management, including the benefits and harms of opioid use. Input gathered through these conversations will help inform CDC's understanding of stakeholders' considerations related to pain and pain management, and will complement CDC's ongoing work to update or expand the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain.
CDC is interested in hearing from patients with acute or chronic pain, patients' family members and/or caregivers, and healthcare providers who care for patients with pain or conditions that can complicate pain management (e.g., opioid use disorder (OUD) or overdose). As part of this effort, CDC will be holding approximately 100 individual conversations with stakeholders over the phone or through an internet-enabled virtual platform.
