Progress on standardized treatment for patients with general cancer pain and cancer pain during " peri-radiotherapeutic period" / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Cancer pain is one of the main symptoms of patients suffering from malignant tumors. If it is not timely treated, it will lead to refractory pain and increase the burden on both the individuals and society. In China, the program titled" Good Pain Management" has been carried out for nearly 7 years, which increases the overall assessment and treatment levels for cancer pain among medical personnel. Nevertheless, the clinical efficacy for cancer pain treatment is not satisfactory. As an important treatment for malignant tumors, radiation therapy is also one of the main methods for treating cancer pain. For the first time, we proposed the concept of " peri-radiotherapeutic period" , and emphasized the continuous analgesic treatment for patients with cancer pain before, during and after radiotherapy. In this article, current status of cancer pain treatment at home and abroad was illustrated, and standardized assessment and management of cancer pain during the " peri-radiotherapeutic period" were summarized.

Analysis of the Use of Analgesics in 100 Postoperative Patients / 药物流行病学杂志

Objective:To analyze the analgesic method and analgesic use for postoperative patients in our hospital. Method:100 cases with postoperative pain in the general surgery department,orthopedic department and gynecological department were chosen from March to June in 2009.Their analgesic method,analgesic use,visual analog scale(VAS) scores and adverse drug reaction were analyzed.Result:The rate of patient-controlled analgesia(PCA) use was 25.0%. The cases who used opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) in 3 days after operations were 20 and 44, respectively.The rate of the drug combination was low.Pethidineand diclofenac potassium were major drugs to relieve their postoperative pain.VAS score in 1 day post-operation was 3.43.Conclusion:The use of analgesics was positive in our hospital, but the insufficient analgesia and little drug combination existed,and drug selection is also limited.
