Effectiveness of Phenotype-based Pain Management Guidelines for Head and Neck Cancer Related Pain: a Pilot Study

1. november 2026 oppdatert av: Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether phenotype-based pain management guidelines can effectively and safely reduce head and neck cancer-related pain in adults with head and neck cancer who have not yet started cancer treatment.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Do phenotype-based pain management guidelines reduce pain in people with head and neck cancer within the first week of treatment?
  • Are the guidelines safe, based on the number and type of medication-related side effects experienced by participants?

Participants will:

  • Attend three study visits over approximately one week (at baseline, after 3 days, and after 7 days or before starting cancer treatment, whichever comes first).
  • Complete questionnaires about their pain, anxiety, depression, medication side effects, and use of breakthrough pain medication.
  • Undergo a detailed examination to identify the type (phenotype) of their pain.
  • Receive a treatment plan tailored to their pain phenotype, which may include pain-relieving medications, muscle relaxants, medicines for nerve pain or burning pain, and opioid medications when needed based on pain severity.
  • Return for follow-up visits to assess changes in pain, medication side effects, and use of breakthrough pain medication.

Beskrivelse

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All adult male and female patients with HNC-related pain that have at least 5 or more intensity average pain intensity in the last one week on a 11-point numeric verbal pain rating scale (NVRS), where 0 is indicative of "no pain" and 10 is suggestive of "worst pain imaginable."
  • Participants with a diagnosis of head and neck cancer-related pain.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants on active or history of prior oncological treatment (radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immune check point inhibitors) will be excluded.

Eksperimentell: Treatment Group

Phenotype-based treatment of the HNC-related pain
Kombinasjonsprodukt: myofascial pain

Participants with myofascial pain disorder phenotype will receive a muscle relaxant, such as tizanidine (up to 8 mg a day), cyclobenzaprine (up to 30 mg a day) or amitriptyline (up to 25 mg a day). In addition, depending on the pain intensity, they will receive non-opioid analgesics or opioids. The participants with pain intensity of less than 7 out of possible 10, on a NVRS, will receive non-opioid analgesics (acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications). However, if the intensity of pain is higher (7 or more), they will receive non-opioid analgesics and opioids (codeine, tramadol or morphine). For pain with intensity between 7 and 8 out of possible 10, on a NRVS, tramadol (up to 400 mg a day) or codeine (up to 90 mg a day) will be used. However, if the intensity of pain is 9 or more of 10, morphine (up to 60 mg a day) will be used.

Kombinasjonsprodukt: Orofacial bone pain

The participants with a phenotype of orofacial bone pain and a pain intensity of less than 7 out of a possible 10 on an NVRS will receive non-opioid analgesics (acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications). However, if the intensity of pain is higher (7 or more), they will receive non-opioid analgesics and opioids (codeine, tramadol or morphine). For pain with an intensity between 7 and 8 out of a possible 10 on an NRVS, tramadol (up to 400 mg a day) or codeine (up to 90 mg a day) will be used. However, if the intensity of pain is 9 or more of 10, morphine (up to 60 mg a day) will be used.

Kombinasjonsprodukt: Orofacial Mucosal Pain

The participants with a phenotype of orofacial mucosal pain and a pain intensity of less than 7 out of a possible 10 on an NVRS will receive non-opioid analgesics (acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications). However, if the intensity of pain is higher (7 or more), they will receive non-opioid analgesics and opioids (codeine, tramadol, or morphine). For pain with intensity between 7 and 8 out of possible 10, on an NRVS, tramadol (up to 400 mg a day) or codeine (up to 90 mg a day) will be used. However, if the intensity of pain is 9 or more of 10, morphine (up to 60 mg a day) will be used.

Kombinasjonsprodukt: Neuralgia Pain

Those with neuralgia pain phenotype will receive pregabalin (up to 600 mg a day) or carbamazepine (up to 600 mg a day).

Kombinasjonsprodukt: Burning Pain

The participants with burning disorder phenotype will receive pregabalin (up to 600 mg a day) or clonazepam (up to 2 mg a day).

Kombinasjonsprodukt: Persistent Pain Phenotype

The participants with persistent pain disorder phenotype will receive amitriptyline (up to 25 mg a day) or pregabalin (up to 600 mg a day).
