Cancer Pain: clinical trials and information

Cancer-related pain can come from a tumour pressing on bones, nerves or organs, or from cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It can be short-term or long-lasting.

Cancer care teams usually assess pain regularly using rating scales and questions about where it is, how it feels and how it affects daily life.

Registered studies cover medicines, medical devices (such as nerve stimulators), procedures (such as nerve blocks or injections), physical and movement therapies, psychological approaches (such as cognitive behavioural therapy), education programs and digital tools. Being studied in a trial does not mean a treatment works or is approved. The interventions listed on this page come directly from the registry records.

No registry record in this snapshot uses this exact term with a site in Canada. Related terms are linked below. Each trial page links to the official ClinicalTrials.gov record, which lists the study contacts. Recruiting status changes often, so check the registry, and talk to your doctor before joining a study.
