Clinical practice guidelines for chronic pain can provide conflicting recommendations, leading to challenges for healthcare providers. Dr. Jason W. Busse highlighted issues with the trustworthiness of recommendations, differences in methods and evidence use, and the importance of transparency in guideline development. He also discussed the Chronic Pain Recommendation Map, a forthcoming resource aimed at clarifying conflicting recommendations. The project, led by Dr. Andrea Darzi and funded by a grant, will synthesize recommendations and provide insights into their differences. This resource aims to assist both patients and clinicians in navigating conflicting recommendations in chronic pain management.
