Purpose Of Review: Cancer pain continues to be a significant problem despite the range of analgesic and adjuvant medications available. The purpose of this review is to explore the most recent developments in the management of cancer pain.
Recent Findings: Tapentadol, launched in the United Kingdom in May 2011, represents the last new analgesic entity with a novel mode of action to enter clinical practice for moderate-to-severe pain.

Background: Haemorrhoidal rubber band ligation (RBL) is a well-established, safe and cost-effective treatment for bleeding haemorrhoids. It is generally well tolerated; however, some patients may require narcotic analgesia or even admission to hospital for pain management. This comparative cohort study reports on the difference in peri-procedural analgesia administration and post-operative recovery time between patients who received local anaesthetic (LA) infiltration in addition to RBL, compared with patients treated only with RBL.

Objective: Dexketoprofen trometamol is a modified non-selective COX inhibitor with a rapid onset of action that is available as both oral and parenteral formulations. The aim of this narrative review was to assess the efficacy and tolerability/safety of dexketoprofen trometamol in acute pain states using the best available published scientific evidence (randomized controlled clinical trials and systematic reviews/meta-analyses).
Methods: Literature retrieval was performed via Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library (from inception up to March 2017) using combinations of the terms "randomized controlled trials", "dexketoprofen", "celecoxib", "etoricoxib", "parecoxib" and "acute pain".

Objectives: To characterise the use of the parenteral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug parecoxib when given by continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI) in a hospice population. Clinical experience suggests parecoxib CSCI may be of benefit in this population, but empirical evidence in relation to its safety and efficacy is lacking.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with a cancer diagnosis receiving parecoxib CSCI from 2008 to 2013 at the Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast.

Background: Persistent pain is a challenging clinical problem after breast cancer treatment. After surgery, inflammatory pain and nociceptive input from nerve injury induce central sensitization which may play a role in the genesis of persistent pain. Using quantitative sensory testing, we tested the hypothesis that adding COX-2 inhibition to standard treatment reduces hyperalgesia after breast cancer surgery.
