Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in use of opioids for non-cancer pain conditions 2000-2005 in commercial and Medicaid insurance plans: the TROUP study.

TL;DR: Trends in opioid therapy for NCPC in two disparate populations, one national and commercially insured population (HealthCore plan data) and one state‐based and publicly‐insured population over a six year period (2000–2005), likely represent a broad‐based shift in opioid treatment philosophy.
