Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The main aim of this study is to evaluate whether a patient education programme on cancer pain management compared to standard care decreases pain and increases patients quality of life. The investigators hypothesis is that patients and family caregivers who receive the intervention will have improved outcomes. Patients and family members are seen in their homes by the nurses doing the intervention over 6 weeks. Patients keep a diary of their pain and medication intake.
