Abstract

Pain derived from a tumor or cancer treatment is categorized as cancer-related pain. It is important that physical therapists and other physicians understand the nature and characteristics of this kind of pain in order to better the management and treatment in the rehabilitation of cancer patients. This chapter provides basic information on cancer-related pain. The treatments which physical therapists can implement include non-pharmacologic interventions such as physical exercise, thermal therapy, massage therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Non-pharmacologic interventions are important for cancer-related pain that has not been completely resolved with pharmacotherapy. Because the efficacy of TENS for cancer pain is still uncertain, studies examining the safety and efficacy were presented. Research results showed that TENS for cancer-related pain was safe and provided limited pain relief. Additionally, nausea and appetite were also improved by TENS in cancer patients. These results indicated that TENS may be an effective tool for the treatment of cancer pain.
