Abstract

Purpose of Review

The goal of this review is to summarize updates to the broad array of complementary therapies available for cancer pain. This paper will serve as a reference for clinicians managing pain in cancer patients.

Recent Findings

Patients are embracing integrative therapies in growing numbers; clinicians must be prepared to incorporate these therapies into patients’ existing treatment regimens. This requires knowledge regarding risks, benefits, and potential interactions with existing cancer therapies.

Summary

Integrative cancer pain management strategies have shown promise, with several proven effective for the management of cancer pain. Energy therapies, including acupuncture, and biologicals and nutraceuticals including overall diet and vitamin D, have the highest level of evidence for efficacy. The remaining therapies discussed in this chapter may be beneficial for patients on a case-by-case basis; risks and benefits of each individual therapy as described in the text must be further assessed in future rigorous trials to further clarify the role of these complementary therapies in cancer pain management.

癌症疼痛综合治疗方法

综述目的本综述旨在总结可用于治疗癌痛的各种补充疗法的最新进展。本文将作为临床医生管理癌症患者疼痛的参考文献。最新研究结果越来越多的患者开始接受综合疗法；临床医生必须做好将这些疗法纳入患者现有治疗方案的准备。这就需要了解这些疗法的风险、益处以及与现有癌症疗法的潜在相互作用。摘要综合癌症疼痛管理策略已显示出良好的前景，其中有几种已被证明可有效控制癌症疼痛。能量疗法（包括针灸）、生物疗法和营养疗法（包括整体饮食和维生素 D）的疗效证据水平最高。本章讨论的其余疗法可能会根据具体情况对患者有益；文中所述的每种疗法的风险和益处必须在未来的严格试验中进一步评估，以进一步明确这些辅助疗法在癌痛治疗中的作用。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
