ABSTRACT

As the incidence of malignancy continues to rise, cancer pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms throughout the course of cancer treatment. Currently, opioid-related constipation (OIC) is a major obstacle to patients' tolerance of opioid medication, but how to correct the persistent opioid-induced constipation and improve the medical compliance of cancer pain patients. The limitations of traditional chinese medical (TCM) and Western medicine should not be ignored. This is a brief review of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of OIC in recent years, with a view to providing reference for clinical colleagues.
