Background

E General Hospital Cancer Center treats over 3,000 cancer patients annually, with cancer pain management being a critical challenge. Management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) was particularly difficult.

Challenges

1

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) management

2

Side effects from excessive opioid use

3

Maintaining quality of life for terminal cancer patients

Solution

Painfree8800 was utilized as core equipment in the palliative care program:

Implemented CIPN-specific Scrambler Therapy protocol

Operated opioid reduction support program

Non-pharmacological pain management for hospice patients

Results

Symptom improvement in 80% of CIPN patients

Average 45% reduction in opioid usage

55% improvement in patient quality of life scores

70% reduction in treatment-related side effects

For cancer patients, pain is as distressing as the disease itself. Painfree8800 enables patients to maintain better quality of life while receiving treatment.
