Reassess pain and treatment
Look for reasons for inadequate pain management:
-
Is the patient receiving the treatment as prescribed?
-
Check the recommended dosage and breakthrough reserve and adapt if necessary
-
Check for unknown analgesic pretreatment
-
Consider surgical complications
-
Perform clinical workup to discover other reasons for pain
- If pain persists, use a multimodal approach with involvement of a pain specialist
