meperidine and Cancer of Cervix

meperidine has been researched along with Cancer of Cervix in 2 studies

Meperidine: A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.
pethidine : A piperidinecarboxylate ester that is piperidine which is substituted by a methyl group at position 1 and by phenyl and ethoxycarbonyl groups at position 4. It is an analgesic which is used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and labour pain.

Pain Score

Perceived pain score according to standard 10-cm visual analog scales (VAS) was assessed before injection of medicine for every 15 minutes up to 120 minutes.The minimum and maximum scores were 0, 10. Score 0 means no pain, 1-3 mild pain, 4-6 moderate pain, 7-9 severe pain and 10 worst pain. (NCT02684942)
Timeframe: From date of the first fraction until date of the last fraction of brachytherapy, once a week for four weeks

Quality of Life

Perceived Quality of life (EQ-5D) was assessed before the first brachytherpy and immediately after completion of each of the 4 brachytherapy fractions. The EQ-5D have 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, topics each content 3 responses: no problems, some problems, extreme problems. (NCT02684942)
Timeframe: From date of the first fraction of brachytherapy until date of the last fraction of brachytherapy,once a week for 4 weeks
