- The prescription opioid and heroin crisis: a public health approach to an epidemic of addiction. (2015, unknown): “A systematic review of studies utilizing opioids for low back pain found that aberrant drug abuse–related behaviors suggestive of addiction occurred in up to 24% of patients on long-term OPRs (50).”
- A comprehensive review of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. (2011, background): “Among those problems are a lack of evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness, misuse and abuse of prescription opioids, and multiple adverse events associated with long-term opioid use, including opioidinduced hyperalgesia (OIH) (1-17).”

- Algorithm for neuropathic pain treatment: An evidence based proposal (2005, unknown): “Finally, the results of recent studies using a variety of methods and patient samples have provided estimates of the frequency of opioid analgesic misuse or addiction that range widely from less than 5% to as much as 50% [1,6,52,55,66,67].”
