The guideline change is based on the fact that RCTs have failed to find a long-term benefit for painkillers for this type of chronic painhttps://twitter.com/GuardianAus/status/1379641179055226880 …

I also don't think these guidelines (at least from my reading) say anything about emergency relief for flare-ups, just for long-term management of chronic pain

The headline isn't very good tho, I'd recommend reading the actual article which goes into the nuance of why painkillers are being dropped as a first-line option
