Funding Amount

Summary
Back pain is the leading cause for opioid use globally. Guidelines actively discourage opioid use for this condition but unfortunately it commonly ends up managed with opioid medicines. Urgent efforts are needed to reduce the burden of harm associated with excessive prescribing of opioids for back pain. This trial will evaluate a clinical care model that is grounded in research, and designed to curb opioid analgesic use and achieve better health outcomes for people with back pain.
