• Study description:
  Prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) streamlined multicentre 12-week observational study, carried out in Germany focusing on the safety, tolerability and efficacy of prolonged release (PR) preparations of oxycodone/naloxone and tapentadol in patients suffering from neuropathic (low) back pain, requiring WHO-step III opioids. Due to the open-label non-interventional study design, physicians are allowed to choose the most appropriate agent for the individual patient situation, to adjust/titrate opioid dosages as per the German prescribing information and to address all side-effects and tolerability issues as usual to achieve the best tolerability and efficacy in each individual patient.
