NCT05744089

Brief Summary

This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of a "simple hydromorphone PCA pump model", which is a rapid titration followed by a convenient maintenance technique, to treat home cancer patients with severe or critical cancer pain or refractory cancer pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Pain score

    Subjects self-assess on the NRS pain rating scale in the subject log sheet, where subjects assess the level of cancer pain experienced in the past 24 hours.

    10 days

  • The frequency of paroxysmal pain

    Paroxysmal pain is defined as a sudden and transient pain exacerbation that occurs spontaneously or triggered by some predictable or unpredictable factors under the premise of relatively stable background pain control and adequate application of analgesic drugs. The onset, duration and number of cancer eruption pain episodes were recorded by the subjects in the logbook at the time of the episode.

    10 days

  • Life quality

    The WHOQOL-BREF is a 26-item self-assessment questionnaire that investigates the last two weeks of physical health, mental health, social relationships, and environment. It allows for a reliable, valid and brief assessment of quality of life. In this study, the psychological domain (6 items) was used to represent the psychological aspects of quality of life.

    10 days

  • The evaluation of PCA home feasibility

    During the trial, monitoring the number of occurrences of PCA blockage and reflux in patients, as well as will record the number of times they seek help from healthcare professionals in case of PCA pump-related problems that cannot be solved by themselves.

    10 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The concentration of immune-related cytokines

  • Patients receiving inpatient antineoplastic therapy.
  • patients with paralytic intestinal obstruction
  • patients with opioid allergy.
  • abnormal and clinically significant laboratory results, such as creatinine ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal, ALT or AST ≥ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (≥ 5 times the upper limit of normal in patients with liver metastases or primary hepatocellular carcinoma), or grade C liver function Child
  • Uncontrollable nausea and vomiting.
