    Pain patients caught in the crossfire of US opioid policies, experts say

    Government rules to curb opioid abuse are leaving chronic pain patients without adequate relief, according to doctors and advocates. Critics argue CDC-prescribing guidelines, now law in over 30 states, are being misused to restrict care. Claudia Merandi and Dr. Omer Awan highlight the unintended consequences, including patients being undermedicated and doctors facing legal risks.
