Abstract
Fentanyl is a strong opioid analgesic that acts primarily on mu receptors located centrally and peripherally and inhibits pain signal transmission and pain perception. Like other opioids, it is a potent analgesic with proven efficacy and widely used for the treatment of severe acute pain, surgical pain, and chronic pain of moderate / high intensity oncological origin that does not respond to treatment with conventional analgesics. As for chronic non-cancer pain, its use is more controversial given the lack of long-term data and the associated safety risks, which mean that its use should only be considered individually when the pain is intense, with impact on quality of life and if the rest of therapeutic interventions have failed.
