cord-012652-ymsag3iq	Wong, Tiffany K.	Pulse article: opioid prescription for pain after spinal cord damage (SCD), differences from recommended guidelines, and a proposed algorithm for the use of opioids for pain after SCD	2019-05-08		.txt	text/plain	4010	175	56	The aim of this survey was to characterize how physicians throughout the world working with patients who have SCD approach the prescribing of opioids for pain, and to compare the results to representative clinical practice guideline recommendations. When physicians who felt that opioids were sometimes appropriate in the treatment of chronic non-cancer neuropathic pain related to SCD were asked whether there was a maximum MME dosage that should be routinely prescribed for intractable pain, nearly half (46%) felt that there should be no specific limit on dose, indicating that it depends on an individual's opioid tolerance. The practice patterns related to the prescription of opioids for chronic pain in persons with SCD in this international sample of clinicians differs in several key areas from those recommended in clinical practice guidelines published in the United States [11] , Canada [12] , Australia [15] , Great Britain [14] , South Africa [16] , and Germany [13] .	./cache/cord-012652-ymsag3iq.txt	./txt/cord-012652-ymsag3iq.txt
