Measure
IPMS Group
Cancer patients with pain are asked to use the Intelligent Pain Management System as much as possible to record the degree and location of pain at least once every day. Through assessments of these pain record, physicians could give the patients appropriate advice. Intelligent Pain Management System: A mobile phone application which can record the pain the cancer patients have and can deliver these records to doctors in order that doctors give patients prescriptions promptly.
Control Group
The control group are communicated through conventional method such as telephone calls or door-to-door visit to collect the pain assessment to guide doctors' therapy.

Feasibility of Mobile Application Assessed by Observing the Number of Daily Pain Assessments Recorded Among Patients
2.37 pain assessments per day
Standard Deviation 0.53

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Numerical rating scale allows a person to describe the intensity of his/her pain as a number usually ranging from 0 to 10, where "0" means "no pain" and "10" means pain as "bad as it could be". Higher values means worse outcomes. The investigators will compare average pain score assessed by numerical rating scale at the end of the trial period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

The Karnofsky performance score runs from 100 to 0, where 100 is "perfect" health and 0 is death. Higher values represent better outcomes.The investigators will compare average score between trial group and control group.
