For some people, opioids are the best option for pain relief, so
supporting safe use of opioids is important.
People who are prescribed opioids regularly to manage their pain can use
the ROOM tool to better understand pain outcomes. ROOM stands for Routine
Opioid Outcome Monitoring tool and it was developed to help people
prescribed opioids for chronic pain measure key outcomes such as pain,
side effects or other aspects of their health.
The ROOM tool is ideally used in as part of a discussion with an opioid
prescriber or pharmacist, you can fill it in before you see your
healthcare provider.
