Radiofrequency and Chemical Neurolysis of Thoracic Splanchnic Nerve for Abdominal Cancer Pain
Abdominal CancerThe study compares between the efficacy, safety and impact on the quality of life of radiofrequency thermocoagulation and chemical neurolysis of bilateral thoracic splanchnic nerves in the management of refractory pain which developed in patients suffering from upper abdominal cancer.
Effect of Good Pain Management (GPM) Ward Program on Moderate to Severe Cancer Pain Patients
CancerPainThis study aims to set up a standardized cancer pain ward - known as the Good Pain Management (GPM) Ward with streamlined assessment and management procedures to act as a pain management model. In particular, it will enforce regular pain assessment from and throughout hospital admission, and treatment protocols introducing the use of strong-opioids in moderate cancer pain patients, following National Cancer Care Network (NCCN) Adult Cancer Pain Guidelines. The GPM ward will be compared against current-practice controlled ward.
Using Mini Program for Self-management VS Conventional Pharmaceutical Care for Cancer Pain
Cancer PainWith the existing medical system and insufficient medical resources in China, we developed a mini program. a pain management mini app can be useful and appreciated by patients and health care professionals, making it a good choice for the management of cancer pain in our country . our study want to develop and test the mini program for pain management among Chinese cancer patients in or discharged from hospital treatment.

Self-management Support in Cancer Pain
PainPain is a prevalent and distressing symptom in patients with cancer, having an enormous impact on functioning and quality of life. Integration of patient self-management and professional care by means of care technology provides new opportunities in the outpatient setting. In this project a technology based and nurse delivered multicomponent self-management support intervention has been developed. Important components include monitoring, feedback, education, and nurse support. Following feasibility evaluation, the primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effect of the intervention regarding pain intensity and quality of life as compared to care as usual. Secondary outcomes of the effect evaluation are self-efficacy, knowledge, anxiety and depression, and pain medication use. Besides, a cost-evaluation and summative process evaluation will be performed.
Study of Opioid Rotation Versus Opioid Escalation in Patients With Moderate to Severe Cancer Pain...
CancerPainAlthough opioid rotation is well known treatment modality in reducing pain and opioid-induced neurotoxicity, it is not established whether opioid rotation is more appropriate or opioid escalation is more effective in controlling significant pain in cancer patients under opioid medication. - The purpose of this study is to determine effective therapy out of opioid rotation and opioid dose escalation in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain who have been already treated with strong opioid.
Switching From Morphine to Oral Methadone Plus Acetaminophen in the Treatment of Cancer Pain
CancerPain1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether oral methadone plus acetaminophen can substitute morphine in the treatment of cancer pain.
A Pilot Trial of Scrambler Therapy for Pain Associated With Pancreas Cancer
Cancer PancreasPain Syndrome1 morePain is the predominant and most feared symptom of pancreas cancer, and is often incompletely relieved. Scrambler Therapy is a new way of treating pain by providing "non-pain" information to confuse the nervous system and reset the damaged nerve pathways. It has been useful in treating many types of pain, but has not been adequately tested in the pain associated with pancreas cancer. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of Scrambler Therapy on typical abdominal pain associated with pancreas cancer. The investigators hypothesize that pain scores from day 0 (pre) to day 28 (post) will be reduced by at least 33%, e.g. from 6/10 to 4/10.
