Filter by:The research study involves an open label trial (i.e., participant selects one of 2 interventions) to determine whether Veterans engaged in treatment for head and/or neck cancers find either of the two available behavioral treatments for pain (Self-Hypnosis or Mindfulness) helpful in managing pain, and if the study's delivery modality (providing audio recordings and workbooks for home use) is acceptable and feasible. If neither of the 2 interventions seems appealing, the participant can participate in the study by completing the study assessments only (this option is usual care); however, the participant will not receive the study materials or one-on-one appointments with the study clinician.
Aim of the study is to evaluate adequacy of pain treatment in oncologic patients, accessing to Radiotherapy Unit
Cancer-related pain has a major adverse impact on functional status and quality of life. Recently, a Survey conducted in 2015 in 10 Asian countries showed that among cancer patients in Asian population, 86% of patients reported that their pain affected their activities of daily living, 87% their sleep, 92% their concentration and focus, and 67% excessive reliance on others. Only 34% reported a good quality of life. Effective pain management may help the patient to focus on the positive aspects of life, decreasing the focus on pain and also promote better adherence to reasonable treatment plans. Hence the emphasis is on improving the Quality of Life and not mere pain control.
-Background: Cancer is one of the most common cause of death. Cancer pain is often cited as one of the most feared in cancer patients. Although, WHO guidelines have been provided to improve pain outcome, the results are still unsatisfied. In order to improve cancer pain management we consider to contribute a new guideline which includes interdisciplinary approach, early doing the pain interventions, breakthrough pain, education, high quality of pain assessment and contribute the effectiveness follow-up system
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of pharmaceutical care on cancer pain treatment for opioid-tolerant inpatients
Staying confined in the bed is frequent at the end of life. The cancer patients can also experiment this situation, and consequences are painful, with pain increasing with the time. This pain are related to the joints stiffing , muscles mass decreasing, and tendons retractions . The non pharmacological approach associated with the conventional treatments can be interesting to assess in this frails patients.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of pharmaceutical care on cancer pain treatment for opioid-tolerant outpatients
In cancer patients, pain is one of the most common symptoms. The range of reported prevalence of pain varies from 33% to 64% including different stages of cancer, during or after anticancer treatment. Moreover, despite the optimal management of basal chronic pain, 66% of these patients have reported breakthrough pain which has a severe impact on quality of life. There is insufficient clinical information on the quality of life of cancer patients with breakthrough pain treated in medical oncology services according to routine clinical practice. For this reason we consider it is appropriate to prospectively evaluate the quality of life of cancer patients with cancer breakthrough pain in medical oncology services as well as other factors that can affect quality of life. This post-authorization observational study will assess the quality of life of cancer patients with breakthrough cancer pain treated in medical oncology services in Spanish hospitals.
Endovascular arterial denervation (ED) is a minimally invasive technique which could reduce the occurrence of injury of visceral tissue or organs. As the principle of renal denervation (RDN), Radiofrequency energy delivered by a multi-electrode catheter to the celiac plexus over the anterolateral surface of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the celiac axis. Damaged or partially damaged celiac plexus can achieve the effect of pain relief.
A large number of studies have shown that patients feel more satisfied with hydromorphone in the pain management. and a systematic review found that hydromorphone may be better suited than morphine for titration of acute analgesia. However, current researches on intravenous opioid titration for cancer pain such as hydromorphone are relatively insufficient in China. Therefore, a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled study is conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of comparing patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) versus non-PCA intravenous hydromorphone titration for severe cancer pain.
