Misappropriation of the 1986 WHO analgesic ladder: the pitfalls of labelling opioids as weak or strong (2022)
Journal Article

Opioids have a vital role in alleviating pain from cancer and surgery. Despite good intentions, it is now recognised that the original WHO Cancer Pain Relief guidance from 1986, in which opioids were classified as either weak or strong, has been both...
