Determining the effectiveness of a clinical-practice intervention in improving the control of pain in outpatients with cancer

Abstract: Although analgesic regimens were altered significantly when the physicians understood more about the patient's pain, cancer pain management remains a complex problem. Future studies should focus on the long-term systematic incorporation of simple pain-assessment tools into daily outpatient oncology practices as well as on innovative ways to address other aspects of managing cancer pain.

“…Bislang verfügbare Studien zeigten, dass der Einsatz von PRO-Instrumenten dazu führte, dass die Dosierung von Analgetika besser adaptiert werden konnte [33], dass sich die Arzt-Patienten Kommunikation verbesserte [17,18] und mehr Themen besprochen wurden [17], dass sich Patienten in größerem Ausmaß emotional unterstützt fühlen und die Ärzte tendenziell sensibler für Probleme in ansonsten meist unterschätz-ten Lebensqualitäts-Bereichen wurden [17].
