Interventions

  • DrugHawthorn red pigment

    For patients with refractory cancer pain who meet the enrollment conditions, on the basis of the clinician's normal adjustment of the analgesic regimen (the initial adjustment is the first day), the dose ramp up study of Hawthorn red pigment was started on the third day. The Hawthorn red dose group includes 10 tablets → 15 tablets → 20 tablets / time, orally, twice a day. "3 + 3" dose escalation scheme
