We are an online support community for those living with CRPS/RSD. The forum is physician moderate and allows the users to interact with each other; as well as, with our CRPS physician specialist (the entire project is offered at no cost).

WHO Narcotic & Psychotropic Drugs Guidelines for Assessment

The Pain and Policy Studies Group (PPSG) is pleased to announce the availability of a World Health Organization (WHO) publication aimed at improving availability of opioid analgesics in the world, titled "Achieving Balance in National Opioids Control Policy: Guidelines for Assessment."

This document provides 16 guidelines that can be used by governments and health professionals to assess the national opioids control policies and their administration of any country to determine if they contain the provisions, procedures and cooperation that are necessary to ensure the availability of opioid analgesics. The guidelines are derived from the international principle of "Balance" in drug control policy. This principle, which is carefully and extensively documented in the publication, asserts that governments not only have an obligation to prevent drug abuse, but also to ensure the availability of opioid analgesics for medical purposes, and further, that efforts to prevent drug abuse and diversion must not interfere with the adequate availability of opioid analgesics for patients’ pain relief. The importance of cooperation between regulators and health professionals is emphasized.

Since the Guidelines were published in 2000, the PPSG and the WHO have used them to encourage cooperation and evaluation of national policy between health professionals and narcotic regulators at several international regional conferences.
