| Abstract: | Pain occurs in 40 to 80% of patients with advanced progressive disease.1 Despite the publications of various guidelines and research in this area together with an extensive choice of analgesia, pain management still presents a challenge in everyday practice. Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage2 or in simpler terms “pain is what the patient says hurts.” |
