Title: Background information

Context:
The accumulation of evidence of harms and the absence of evidence of long-term benefits has warranted  a newly cautious approach to LOT that prioritizes safety. This approach coupled with the evidence of both the safety and efficacy for non-pharmacologic and non-opioid pharmacologic pain therapies has led to the  current transformation in the way in which pain is viewed and treated. The biopsychosocial model of pain recognizes pain as a complex multidimensional experience that requires multimodal and integrated care approaches. Within this context, non-pharmacologic treatments and non-opioid medications are the preferred treatments for chronic non-terminal pain. OT has a limited role, primarily in the treatment of severe acute pain, post-operative pain, and end-of-life pain.

Question: Where does OT have a limited role?

Answer: primarily in the treatment of severe acute pain, post-operative pain, and end-of-life pain
