Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to develop and pilot a cloud-based Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) management program for home-based cancer pain patients within a hospital setting. It is expected to serve as a reference for improving pain management in home-based cancer care and to provide insights for future related research as well as the broader application and dissemination of the program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

The control group received conventional telephone follow-up. Specifically, at 1 week and 3 weeks after discharge, ward follow-up nurses who had undergone standardized training conducted the follow-up using a pre-established checklist. The telephone calls covered pain intensity, location, medication usage, and adverse drug reactions.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention Group

Prior to discharge, a nurse instructed patients on using the cloud-based follow-up platform. Patients then reported outcomes weekly via the platform using the PROMIS-29 profile. The system automatically monitored this data against preset thresholds; any exceedance triggered an alert to the care team for immediate assessment. Based on the reported data, the system also pushed personalized education on pain management and medication. Follow-up calls provided further guidance, including on non-pharmacological techniques to complement analgesic therapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Proactive monitoring and patient education

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention featured proactive monitoring of PRO data with threshold-based alerts, coupled with personalized patient education via the cloud and follow-up calls, to enhance timely care and self-management.
