Undergoing their first interventional pain procedure (initial IPP) for the index cancer pain 5. Provided written informed consent for study participation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of analgesic responders at 1 month following the initial interventional pain procedure (IPP). Patients are classified as responders if they meet both of the following criteria: 1) Pain intensity: Brief Pain Inventory–Severity Subscale (BPI–SS) decreases by = 2 points or = 30% from baseline (whichever is met) 2) Opioid consumption: MEDD does not increase by more than 10% or 5 mg/day from baseline (whichever is greater) Patients not meeting both criteria are classified as non-responders.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in BPI-SS after initial interventional pain procedure;Changes in opioid consumption (MEDD) after initial interventional pain procedure;Changes in breakthrough pain intensity (Numeric Rating Scale, NRS) and frequency after initial interventional pain procedure;Changes in pain interference (Brief Pain Inventory–Interference Subscale, BPI-IS) after initial interventional pain procedure;Changes in functional status (ECOG-PS) after initial interventional pain procedure;Occurrence of additional interventional pain procedure;Occurrence of procedure-related complications;Changes in cancer treatment course;Hospice referral and follow-up loss during observation;Survival status and time of death during the entire follow-up period
