The purpose of this study is to find out whether Tibetree Pain Relieving Plaster, an herbal pain relief patch, may be able to reduce this pain. Tibetree Pain Relieving Plaster is available as an over-the-counter (non-prescription) treatment for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains in muscles and joints. This study is the first to test this treatment in people who have had cancer.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tibetree Pain Relieving Plaster | Drug | Participants who provide informed consent in the trial will receive either the Tibetree pain relieving plaster if randomized into the intervention arm, or an identical placebo plaster if randomized into the control arm. The treatment course for both arms are identical. Participants will be instructed to apply the plaster directly to the skin overlying the area of pain for 6 hours once daily for 14 consecutive days. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Brief Pain Inventory - Measure of Participant Pain | The short-form BPI will be used to quantify pain severity and pain interference. The BPI contains 4 pain severity items and 7 pain interference items, all rated on a scale from 0 to 10 (higher ratings indicate worse pain intensity/interference). A pain severity subscale score can be computed by taking the average rating of the 4 pain severity items. This subscale will be our primary outcome measure. A pain interference subscale score can be similarly computed for the 7 pain interference items. BPI should be completed prior to removing pain relieving plaster at the end of each day. | 14 days from baseline |
