A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web-based Platform for Cancer Pain Management

A Randomized Controlled, Open Clinical Trial of a Web-based Platform for Multifactorial Intervention in Cancer Pain Management

Malignant tumors are one of the major public health problems in China, and cancer pain is a common symptom in tumor patients, affecting the quality of life. In rural areas, cancer pain management is challenging due to insufficient medical resources and limitations in understanding cancer pain. Investigators plan to develop a convenient patient self-reporting applet to help participants report their symptoms to primary care physicians promptly and monitor pain levels and medication in real-time. This project aims to improve the efficiency of cancer pain management, integrate cancer pain into chronic disease management, improve the quality of healthcare services for rural participants, and promote the construction of a healthy China.
