Brief Summary

100 patients with Breakthrough pain will be allocated to receive either oral prioxicam (OP) (n=50) or sublingual fentanyl (SLF) (n=50) . Patients will be divided randomly into two equal groups: oral prioxicam (OP) Group and sublingual fentanyl citrate (SLF) Group, comprising of 50 patients each. Pain intensity level on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS), patients will be instructed about the use of a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) (0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain). frequency of Breakthrough pain throughout the day, onset of relief (0-5, 6-10, 11-15, or over 16 min), time required for dose titration, patient satisfaction and adverse effects were assessed at 3, 7, 15, and 30 days after starting the treatment.
