Abstract
Pain is an unpleasant experience and a subjective term that is associated with tissue damage. Cancer patients experience pain for a myriad of reasons, from disease related to treatment causes and unrelated to both of these categories. Opioids are the mainstay in the treatment of moderate to severe cancer pain. Progressive opioid dose increases can cause opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). OIH has no definite management, here we present a 47-year-old cancer patient with OIH and her management.
