Pharmacological and pain Intervention procedure

Other

Pain interventions ranges from pharmacological treatments including non-opioid analgesics, opioids and adjuvant analgesics to pain interventional procedures.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient reported NRS score

    Time frame: Patient reported NRS score will be recorded at baseline, and subsequent visit (till maximum three months) in the pain management clinic.

    Numeric Rating Score (NRS) is an 11-point scale with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), with higher scores indicating greater pain severity and therefore a worse outcome.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Character of chronic pain

    Time frame: At baseline and the follow-up visit ( till maximum three months) to the pain management clinic.

    Patients will be asked to describe the character (quality) of the pain they are experiencing e.g., burning, sharp, pricking, electric-shock-like.

  2. Frequency of pain intervention procedure

    Time frame: At the end of three months.

    Pain intervention procedures undertaken by pain specialists for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes for the management of cancer pain
