Testing non-opioid drugs with opioids for cancer pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding non-opioid pain relievers (like dipyrone or ibuprofen) to opioid therapy can better manage cancer pain. It may help patients whose pain is not well controlled with opioids alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are in the hospital (or can come back for a final visit).

This Phase 2 study tests a new medicine (3D1002) taken together with extended-release oxycodone to improve moderate to severe cancer pain. You may be considered if your cancer pain is stable and you can follow the study’s strict pain-medication rules.
This trial tests a long-acting painkiller (hydromorphone) for older adults with cancer who have moderate-to-severe pain and some kidney issues. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well for this group.
This trial tests a topical herbal plaster to see if it can help reduce pain in people with cancer who are already taking opioids. The plaster is placed on the most painful area and may allow you to use less opioid medication.
This study tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a treatment using mild electric pulses on needles) and ear acupressure (pressing on specific points on the ear) to the pain medicine hydromorphone helps reduce cancer-related pain that isn't well managed by usual treatments.
This trial tests whether a special website or app can help people with cancer do a better job managing their pain. If you have moderate or severe cancer pain that needs morphine and you can use a simple app to track your symptoms, this may help you feel better.
This trial tests whether a digital multimedia program can help cancer patients better manage pain, stick to their pain medications, and feel more satisfied with their pain control. If you have cancer pain and are taking strong opioids, this study might help you learn new ways to handle your pain.
