Pain Syndromes and Management in Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Joseph D Ma et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Pain is a significant physical symptom that can be observed across the spectrum of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) care. Pain assessment should include evaluation of the physical and functional components of pain. Management varies based on the type of HSCT-specific pain syndrome. Future directions for management of pain syndromes include the early integration of palliative care. The purpose of this review is to summarize various pain syndromes and management approaches in adult HSCT patients.

Keywords: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant; Neuropathy; Opioids; Pain.
