Swallowing the pill of adverse effects: A qualitative study of patients' and pharmacists' experiences and decision‐making regarding the adverse effects of chronic pain medications

Abstract

A person with lived experience of chronic pain was involved as a coinvestigator in the study. He contributed to shaping the study design and objectives, including major methodological decisions such as the choice of pharmacists as the most appropriate professionals to investigate. In addition, 26 individuals with chronic pain shared their experiences extensively during the FGs.
