Abstract Technology‐aided remote interventions for poorly controlled symptoms may improve cancer symptom outcomes. In a randomized trial, the efficacy of an automated management system was tested to determine if it reduced chemotherapy‐related symptoms. Prospectively, 358 patients beginning chemotherapy were Symptom Care at Home ( SCH ) intervention n = 180) or enhanced usual care UC 178). Participants called monitoring daily reporting severity 11 participants received self‐management...
Successful treatment of opioid misuse among people with chronic pain has proven elusive. Guidelines recommend nonopioid therapies, but the efficacy mindfulness-based interventions for is uncertain.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) among past and present U.S. military personnel with prescriptions for long-term opioid therapy chronic pain.
Few controlled clinical trials of psychological interventions for cancer pain relief exist in spite frequent support their importance as adjuncts to medical treatment. This study compared oral mucositis levels 4 groups patients receiving bone marrow transplants (BMT): (1) treatment usual control, (2) therapist support, (3) relaxation and imagery training, (4) training a package cognitive-behavioral coping skills which included imagery. A total 94 completed the involved two sessions prior...
Few controlled clinical trials have tested the efficacy of psychological techniques for reducing cancer pain or post-chemotherapy nausea and emesis. In this study, 67 bone marrow transplant patients with hematological malignancies were randomly assigned to one four groups prior beginning transplantation conditioning: (1) hypnosis training (HYP); (2) cognitive behavioral coping skills (CB); (3) therapist contact control (TC); (4) treatment as usual (TAU; no control). Patients completed...
A randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the effects of home nursing care for patients with progressive lung cancer. One hundred sixty-six were assigned either an oncology group (OHC) that received from nurses, a standard (SHC) regular or office (OC) whatever they needed except care. Patients entered into study 2 months after diagnosis and followed 6 months. interviewed at 6-week intervals across five occasions. At end study, there no differences in pain, mood disturbance,...
Oral complications can be serious and disabling problems for patients undergoing cancer therapy. Therefore, the authors wanted to develop a sensitive specific instrument measure oral mucosal changes during The Mucosa Rating Scale (OMRS) has an examination rating scale quantify type severity of clinically evident (atrophy, erythema, ulceration, pseudomembranous, hyperkeratotic, lichenoid, edematous changes), with ranging from 0 3 (normal severe). Separate visual analogue scales are obtained...
Background: Successful diabetes management requires ongoing lifelong self-care and can require that individuals with become experts in translating care recommendations into real-life day-to-day strategies.

Pupillary response to noxious stimulation was investigated in men ( n = 11) and women 9). Subjects experienced repeated trials of electrical fingertip at four intensities, ranging from faint barely tolerable pain. Measures included pupil dilation (PDR), pain report (PR), brain evoked potentials (EPs). The PDR began 0.33 s peaked 1.25 after the stimulus. Multivariate mixed‐effects analyses revealed that (a) increased significantly peak amplitude as stimulus intensity increased, (b) EP peaks...

A total of 119 bone marrow transplant patients suffering from oral mucositis pain were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial comparing the efficacy patient-controlled analgesia with morphine, hydromorphone and sufentanil. Patient ratings side-effects on visual analog scales gathered daily start (PCA) therapy until discontinuation opioid treatment either because resolution pain, intolerable side-effects, inadequate control, or complications related to transplantation....
Despite a large number of clinical investigations in postoperative patients, the pharmacology epidural fentanyl, alfentanil, and sufentanil has not been well characterized human laboratory setting. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, we evaluated analgesia side effects produced by fentanyl (30 100 micrograms), alfentanil (300 1,000 (3 10 micrograms) volunteers.Each 12 volunteers participated four separate study sessions. The pain model was cutaneous electrical...
