[Symptom control in palliative care (excluding pain therapy)]. / Symptomkontrolle in der Palliativmedizin (ohne Schmerztherapie).

ABSTRACT

In the palliative phase of disease, patients often suffer from a variety of distressing symptoms. Often, treatment is difficult because several problems exist at the same time and the necessary medications can cause side effects that require treatment. This article addresses important symptoms - other than pain - and provides treatment recommendations based on current literature.
