| Summary: | The main purpose of the trail was to evaluate the number of oncological patients experiencing from moderate to severe chronic pain observed by the First Moscow Hospice in 2015. Of 1157 patients who were observed by the hospice ambulance service, 53.6% received opioids as pain killers in severe to moderate pain when second grade medicines were proved to be ineffective. It should be note that 735 of 1157 patients were admitted to the hospice to continue their treatment as inpatients due to various factors. It’s shown that there is an influence of religious, cultural, social, educational, political, geographical, legal and logistical reasons on inadequate assessment and management of pain in acute as well as in chronic period in Russia. |
