ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect and adverse reaction of fentanyl ransdermal system on the cancer pain resulted from lung cancer metastasizing to bone.Methods Thirty -two patients with moderate to severe cancer pain of bone metastasis from lung cancer were treated with fentanyl transdermal system.Analgesic effect was observed.The quality of life and adverse reactions were evaluated.Results The PI evaluation were (7.62 ± 1.35)and (1.93 ±2.41)before /after treated with fentanyl ransdermal system.The differences of bone pain between before and after treated were significant(t =3.983,P <0.01).Among the thirty -two patients with moderate to severe cancer pain used by fentanyl transdermal system,complete relief was in 12 cases(37.5%),apparent relief was in 11 cases(34.3%),moderate relief was in 7 cases(21.8%),mild relief was in 2 cases(6.3%),the total relief rate was 93.7%.The adverse reactions included hypersomnia were in 13 cases,dizziness in 11 cases,nausea and vomiting in 6 cases,constipation in 5 cases,pruritus and erythra in 4 cases,dysuria in 2 cases.All above adverse reactions dis-appeared after stopping fentanyl ransdermal system and /or undergoing symptomatic treatment.Conclusion Fentanyl transdermal system is easy to use,the effect is significant,there is few adverse reactions,which can significantly improve quality of life of cancer patients.
