It is estimated that 11% of adults experience daily pain (CDC). For millions of Americans, opioids remain the cornerstone of treatment for their chronic pain, despite the lack of evidence around efficacy and the alarming rates of opioid addiction, overdose, and death. Although primary care providers express concern about the risks of opioid prescribing, the report feeling unprepared to adequately manage chronic pain with or without opioids in their patient populations. The Comprehensive Pain Management ECHO at the IU Indianapolis ECHO Center addresses this gap by providing access to up-to-date CPM education and evidence-based strategies to health professionals from interdisciplinary practices across the state of Indiana. The CPM ECHO will support further implementation of the state and national pain management best practice guidelines through curriculum regarding physiology and psychology of pain, non-medication modalities for pain management, assessing for substance use disorder, pharmacotherapeutics, etc.
