What medicine can relieve the pain of advanced lung cancer

What medicine can relieve the pain in the late stage of lung cancer? The pain of lung cancer bone metastasis is closely related to the choice of treatment method and follow-up care. Relieving the pain of lung cancer bone metastasis mainly considers these two aspects: first, appropriate treatment method is conducive to alleviating pain; second, good follow-up care is also an important means to relieve the pain of lung cancer bone metastasis.

Suitable treatments:

Treatments for lung cancer bone metastasis include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological immunotherapy. Surgery is very traumatic and postoperative pain is unavoidable; radiotherapy and chemotherapy are very harmful to the immune system, making the patient's immunity low and unable to bear the pain of radiotherapy and chemotherapy; the emergence of biological immunotherapy makes up for the shortcomings of traditional treatment methods. It can restore and rebuild the damaged immune system, enhance immunity, curb the spread and metastasis of cancer cells, relieve the patient's pain, and improve the quality of life.

Provide good aftercare:

The purpose of pain relief is achieved by stimulating the skin around the painful area or the corresponding healthy side. The stimulation methods can be massage, applying cooling analgesics, etc., or various temperatures of stimulation, or using a 65℃ hot water bottle on a wet towel for local hot compress, 20 minutes each time, which can achieve a certain pain relief effect. Let the patient close his eyes, sigh, burp, etc., then bend the hips and knees to lie flat, relax the abdominal muscles and back muscles, and breathe slowly. Or let the patient close his eyes in a quiet environment and breathe in and out slowly and deeply, so that fresh air can enter the lungs to achieve the purpose of pain relief.

In addition, the use of analgesics can relieve the patient's pain. Since drugs have tolerance and adverse reactions, appropriate analgesic plans should be used. Different drugs are selected according to the different degrees of pain in patients. For mild pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (level 1 drugs) such as Fenbid, Voltaren, aspirin, paracetamol, piroxicam, indomethacin, etc. are selected; for moderate pain, weak opioids (level 2 drugs) such as codeine, tramadol (Chimandin), etc. are selected; for moderate to severe pain, strong opioids (level 3 drugs) such as morphine, sustained-release morphine (MSContin), OxyContin, fentanyl transdermal patch (Durogesic), etc. are selected.
