Pilot Test of a Pain Management Intervention Preparatory to a Future Pragmatic Trial (ASCENT) ASCENT

What's the purpose of this trial?

This clinical trial tests how well a pain management intervention preparatory to a future pragmatic trial works in rural dwelling and Hispanic cancer survivors. Cancer pain is a key case study in health disparities in the United States. Cancer pain is prevalent, under treated, and remains a major cause of suffering, impairment, and disability for millions of Americans. Individual pain interventions and care models show promise for cancer pain in controlled settings. Hispanic and rural-dwelling cancer survivors stand to benefit the most from electronic health record innovations, as each of these health disparities populations experience profound disparities in pain outcomes, including marked under- and over-prescribing of opioids. Additionally, Hispanics not only comprise a steadily growing proportion of cancer survivors, but are also increasingly immigrating to rural communities, potentially placing them at "double risk" for poor outcomes. This trial will allow for the refinement of pain management intervention components that could help the management of cancer-related pain in rural dwelling and Hispanic cancer survivors.

This trial is currently open and accepting patients.
