“…Moreover, pain due to bone metastases involved incident pain accompanying body motion (Serafini 2001) The role of nerve block therapy becomes important for pain control in such difficult cases. Good analgesic effects are attained by effectively combining opioid therapy and nerve block therapy (Cherny et al, 1996). Therefore, in cancer pain treatment, it is important to obtain good pain relief in many patients by employing non-drug treatment such as nerve block therapy and at the same time implementing adequate opioid therapy according to the pathologic condition of the pain (Zech et al, 1995).…”

Cancer pain management is centered on opioid therapy. In Japan, 3 types of strong opioid are available for treatment; therefore it is important to use them according to the characteristics of each drug and dosage form. Particularly, oxycodone is suitable as first‐line choice of opioid, which can also be employed as opioid switching when symptoms of the central nervous system is manifested following the use of oral morphine. Furthermore, opioid responsiveness should be taken into account when opioid therapy is carried out; assessment of the analgesic effect is particularly important. Recently, we tried to select suitable treatment modalities by speculating on the pathologic conditions of pain relative to the responsiveness to morphine and causes of pain. In the case of pain with low response to morphine, it was possible to attain good pain control not only by opioid therapy but also by a combination of opioid therapy and nerve block therapy. In cancer pain treatment, appropriate assessment of pathologic conditions of pain and selection of adequate and accurate treatment modalities are essential for improvement of the effect of pain relief.

“…Noninvasive interventions, such as psychological and rehabilitative therapies, are an important aspect of palliative care and should be incorporated early to provide maximum benefit. 7 The simplest routes of administration-oral, transdermal, nasal, and rectal-should be exhausted before invasive techniques are considered.…”

Pain management is one of the major concerns for the terminal patient. The hospice care team is a highly trained group of health care providers in the area of symptom control, including pain management, for the dying patient. Anesthesia providers also specialize in pain control. The purposes of this study were to survey hospice patient care coordinators to gain an understanding of anesthesia practitioners' involvement with hospice patients, hospice patients' access to anesthesia pain management services, and hospice patient care coordinators' attitudes toward the necessity of anesthesia pain management services for the hospice community. A questionnaire was developed to assess these issues. In general, the findings reflected minimal anesthesia practitioner involvement in the hospice community. Fifty-two percent reported that patients could benefit from invasive treatments offered by anesthesia practitioners. Forty percent responded that more patients could be considered as candidates for invasive pain management techniques if procedures were performed in the patient's home or hospice. Access to anesthesia pain management services was limited by distance to pain clinics and anesthesia practitioners, and more anesthesia pain management services were needed for hospice patients in smaller communities. Cost of anesthesia pain management was frequently proposed as a prohibitive factor.
