Active clinical trials for "Cancer Pain"

The study was prospective, randomized. Patients with cancer pain were evaluated, one group receiving methadone with morphine and another group receiving morphine as the only opioid. Pain intensity, total morphine dose and adverse effects were evaluated.

To establish the role of ketamine in hospitalized terminally ill cancer patients with refractory cancer pain, using continuous intravenous infusion of ketamine

Chest wall pain is a severe and distressing symptom. The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an interfascial plane block where local anesthetic is injected between the erector spine muscle and the transverse process. It is a simple procedure, with easy sonographic landmarks, for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracic, abdominal, lumbar, and urologic surgery. The ESPB was initially described to relieve chronic pain from metastatic disease and rib fractures.

Opioid is recommended for moderate cancer pain in WHO 3-step analgesic ladder. Transdermal administration of the strong opioid fentanyl was originally developed for patients unable to swallow analgesics because of malignancies in the head and neck region or the gastrointestinal tract, painful lesions in the mouth, or periods of nausea, vomiting, or bowel obstruction. The EMA recognizes that in exceptional clinical circumstances, the 12 μg/h fentanyl patch could be considered. To our knowledge, there is not a phase III trial to explore the efficacy and safety of 12 μg/h fentanyl patch in opioid-naive patients with moderate cancer pain.

in this trial, we will test the analgesic efficacy of sacral neuromodulation for patients with pelvic cancer, complaining of chronic pelvic pain in comparison to medical treatment.

This study is to compare the effect of pain management program. We compare life quality, pain scores, sleep, anxiety and depression scores, and self report measures before and after mindfulness based pain management workshops.

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.

The purpose of this study is to: Determine how well people tolerate sodium bicarbonate taken by mouth in higher doses than those usually given for heartburn. Determine if sodium bicarbonate can reduce cancer-related pain.

Randomised, double-blind placebo controlled cross-over trial Main goal: Optimize the medical pain treatment for patients with advanced cancer disease Study goal: Measure paracetamol's additional analgesic effect in a situation where the patient is concomitantly treated with oral opioids eqv. morphine > 100 mg/d.
