This study tests whether a new pain medication called 3D1002, when combined with a long-acting opioid, can better manage moderate to severe cancer pain compared to the opioid alone. The goal is to find a more effective way to reduce pain without increasing side effects.
This trial tests whether adding non-opioid pain relievers (like dipyrone or ibuprofen) to your usual opioid pain medication can better control cancer pain. It aims to see if the combination is more effective and safe.
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 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 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 study tests a special pain-relief plaster placed on acupoints (body points used in acupuncture) to see if it can help people with moderate to severe cancer pain who are already taking pain medications. The goal is to find a gentler way to improve pain control.
