2014, Journal of Pain and Symptom ManagementCitation Excerpt :Cancer pain continues to be an under-recognized source of patient suffering and dissatisfaction within health care systems.1 Pain is one of the most common and feared symptoms of cancer, experienced by 30–50% of patients with cancer receiving treatment and 70–90% of patients with advanced disease.2,3 Much of our knowledge about the prevalence and management of cancer pain was reported in the seminal article by Cleeland et al.4 Their report showed that 67% of outpatient oncology patients with advanced cancer used analgesics; however, 42% of these patients were unable to attain analgesia because of inadequate prescribing.
Pain in hospitalized children: Effect of a multidimensional knowledge translation strategy on pain process and clinical outcomes
2014, PainCitation Excerpt :Poorly managed procedural pain in infants can alter pain processing and perception [4,46] and can negatively impact physiological, social and neurocognitive developmental outcomes [18]. Conversely, effective pain management strategies are associated with more rapid and full recoveries and decreased costs to the health care system [10]. The undertreatment of procedural pain in hospitalized children remains a major concern despite exponential growth in pain research, effective evidence-based pain management strategies, validated pain assessment tools, and evidence-based pain standards and guidelines [1,2,51,54,56].

2011, CMAJ. Canadian Medical Association JournalCitation Excerpt :The reporting of precise unadjusted p values allows for the degree of significance to be evaluated within the context of all tests examined. Decreases in the number of painful procedures performed and improvements in pain management associated with procedures are essential to relieve pain and suffering and to capitalize on the associated benefits for patients and the decreased use of health care resources.28 Careful consideration of the need for painful procedures for pediatric inpatients and the importance of ensuring a balanced array of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions should be emphasized during health care professionals' training.
