The Physicians Partnering Against Pain Survey, funded by Janssen Scientific Affairs and reported in the Journal of Opioid Management, also showed that 52 percent of adults ages 75 and older reported inadequate treatment.

 

The P3 survey focused on patients with moderate-to-severe acute pain and their physicians. It was designed to evaluate patient perceptions of the adequacy of analgesia and the influence of opioid-related side effects in outpatient pain management.
