ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Pain during Radiation Therapy (RT) for oral cavity/oropharyngeal cancer (OC/OPC) is a clinical challenge due to its multifactorial etiology and variable management. The objective of this study was to define complex pain profiles through temporal characterization of pain descriptors, physiologic state, and RT-induced toxicities for pain trajectories understanding. Materials and

methods:

Using an electronic health record registry, 351 OC/OPC patients treated with RT from 2013 to 2021 were included. Weekly numeric scale pain scores, pain descriptors, vital signs, physician-reported toxicities, and analgesics were analyzed using linear mixed effect models and Spearman's correlation. Area under the pain curve (AUCpain) was calculated to measure pain burden over time.

Results:

Median pain scores increased from 0 during the weekly visit (WSV)-1 to 5 during WSV-7. By WSV-7, 60% and 74% of patients reported mouth and throat pain, respectively, with a median pain score of 5. Soreness and burning pain peaked during WSV-6/7 (51%). Median AUCpain was 16% (IQR (9.3-23)), and AUCpain significantly varied based on gender, tumor site, surgery, drug use history, and pre-RT pain. A temporal increase in mucositis and dermatitis, declining mean bodyweight (-7.1%; P < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) 6.8 mmHg; P < 0.001 were detected. Pulse rate was positively associated while weight and MAP were negatively associated with pain over time (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

This study provides insight on in-depth characterization and associations between dynamic pain, physiologic, and toxicity kinetics. Our findings support further needs of optimized pain control through temporal data-driven clinical decision support systems for acute pain management.
