Hi. I recently heard about a nationwide study opening for patients in pain related to or associated with cancer. To participate, you must be between the ages of 18 and 80, experience an average of 1-4 flares of pain per day. These flares of pain are commonly called breakthrough pain. You also need to be taking daily opioid medication to control your regular/persistent pain. Some examples of opioid medications are below:
• Morphine
• Transdermal Fentanyl
• Hydrocodone
• Oxycodone
• Hydromorphone
