Today we have powerful medications to treat debilitating chronic and terminal pain. However, all too often these medications are not used due to a number of factors, including a lack of education in the medical community and a federal government campaign to prevent abuse of controlled substances.

The Center for Practical Bioethics has addressed this imbalance head-on with the National Balanced Pain Policy Initiative to advocate for patients and influence pain policy across the country.
