Cancer is a disabling, challenging and growing global disease. Although early diagnosis and adequate treatment of oncological disease have been developing rapidly, a large part of the population remains without access to specialized services and routinely evolve to symptoms and sequelae with uncontrolled pain, worse quality of life and suffering. Complementary therapies to control pain and improve the well-being of cancer patients are fundamental tools of integrative oncology medicine. This study proposes to use immersive virtual reality to encourage cancer patients to carry out the regular practice of meditation, as an effective tool in pain management and in the search for a better quality of life, based on a structured intervention that encourages autonomy as important part of your treatment. Two studies will be carried out at the Pain Therapy and Palliative Care Service of the Amazonas State Oncology Control Center Foundation (FCECON). Study 1 will be a cross-sectional study to describe the variables associated with the diagnosis and treatment of patients' pain and Study 2 will be a Randomized Controlled Trial that will analyze the impact of an intervention performed with meditation through immersive virtual reality for pain relief. pain in these patients. It is expected that the regular practice of meditation through immersive virtual reality will promote pain relief and improve the quality of life of cancer pain patients.
The goal of this prospective, interventional, non-randomized study was to compare pain score in unilateral and bilateral posterior percutaneous neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) in upper abdominal cancer patients. The main questions it aimed to answer are: 1. Whether unilateral or bilateral NCPB technique has a better pain relief 2. Was there any difference in terms of complication rates between these two approaches All participants were having upper abdominal cancer whether operated or non-operable cancer were given a unilateral or bilateral neurolytic celiac plexus block. Pain scores and adverse events at multiple time points post-procedure were recorded.
To learn if hypophysectomy (treatment of the pituitary gland) using a type of radiation treatment called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can help to relieve cancer-related pain.
We propose an innovative approach to symptom management in cancer patients following cancer treatments, utilizing a Multimodal Integrative Therapy (MIT) delivered via Virtual Reality (VR) program, authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration for in-home use. Our primary goal is to generate pilot data on the effects of MIT-VR program on pain, fatigue, sleep, and anxiety in participants suffering from chronic cancer symptoms following cancer treatments.
HA35 (Bioactive HA or B-HA or HA35) have good tissue permeability (B-HA injection, Ministry of Health, Registration number L20200708MP07707). HA35 might not lose HA's bioactivities of binding to a variety of hyaluronan's binding proteins or receptors, including the analgesic and anticancer effects of hyaluronan, therefore being named bioactive HA or B-HA (10) (B-HA injection, Ministry of Health, Registration number L20200708MP07707).
To learn about the effectiveness of taking the antipsychotic medication olanzapine to help lower opioid craving.
This clinical trial tests a collaborative pain management intervention (ASCENT) for improving cancer pain in rural and Hispanic cancer survivors. Cancer pain is prevalent, under-treated, and remains a major cause of suffering, impairment, and disability for millions of Americans. Individual pain interventions and care models show promise for cancer pain in controlled settings. Hispanic and rural-dwelling cancer survivors stand to benefit the most from electronic health record innovations, as each of these health disparities populations experience profound disparities in pain outcomes, including marked under- and over-prescribing of opioids. Digitally facilitated solutions are especially well matched for these patients, and can be customized to address their needs. The ASCENT intervention provides patients with an educational guide that describes techniques for addressing cancer pain, and uses community health workers and pain care managers to coach patients through a personalized pain management plan. This study may help researchers learn how pain management strategies can improve cancer pain and lower risk of opioid exposure and dependency in rural and Hispanic cancer survivors.
This is a randomized controlled clinical pilot study to evaluate the evidence-based basis for transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation to improve the quality of life of patients with cancer pain。
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of supervoltage pulsed radiofrequency glossopharyngeal nerve therapy versus standard pulsed radiofrequency in reduction of oropharyngeal cancer pain, through Visual analog scale score reduction.
