BECAUSE THE RISE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE HAS OCCURRED ALONGSIDE INCREASED USE OF OPIOIDS IN LEGITIMATE PAIN RELIEF, IT IS TEMPTING TO ASSUME CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Ethical Issues in Chronic Pain Management
• Patient access to an outpatient evaluating provider, lack of medical home model– Scheduling bias
• Public misconceptions about pain management• Concerns of drug diversion• Fears about addiction• (Non-) “Compliance”• Failure to recognize Psuedoaddiction• Community lack of Pain Specialists• Fear of regulatory or law enforcement intervention

Ethical Issues in Palliative & Hospice Pain Management
• Doctrine of Double Effect and worry about “last dose”
• Lack of specialty referral to Palliative Care team/lack of primary provider comfort with high dose opioid calculations
• Recognition of Total Pain- emotional, relational, existential, functional, physical
• Trust/relationship concerns

Doctrine of Double Effect
St. Augustine Thomas Aquinas Joseph Magnan (‘49)
• Act itself must be good or at least indifferent• Must intend the good effect • Good effect cannot be caused by bad effect• Proportionality

Criticisms: Principle of Double Effect
• Evidence Based Medicine shows that opioids do NOT cause significant respiratory depression that could hasten death in terminally ill patients.
• However, most physicians report the Principle of double effect was relevant (71%) and useful (68%) in “justifying optimal pain and symptom management at the end of life.”
