Pain is a devastating symptom of cancer that affects the quality of life of patients, families, and caregivers. It is a multidimensional symptom that includes physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual components. Despite the development of novel analgesics and updated pain guidelines, cancer pain remains undermanaged, and some patients with moderate to severe pain do not receive adequate pain treatment. Inadequate pain management can be attributed to barriers related to health care professionals, patients, and the health care system.
