Pain Management & Palliative Care in Udaipur
Compassionate step-wise relief of cancer-related pain, nerve discomfort, and physical symptom distress. Managed under the clinical leadership of Dr. Narendra Rathore (Professor & Head of Radiation Oncology) at MB Hospital Campus, RNT Medical College, Udaipur.
Medical Overview & Clinical Background
Effective pain control is a fundamental human right in cancer care. Dr. Narendra Rathore prioritizes compassionate, step-wise pain management following World Health Organization (WHO) analgesic guidelines, ensuring patients remain comfortable and maintain dignity throughout their treatment journey.
Understanding the Disease & Treatment Mechanics
Cancer pain can originate from tumor pressure on nerves or bone, post-surgical scar tissue, or treatment-related neuropathy. Management utilizes a 3-step WHO analgesic ladder combining non-opioid analgesics, mild opioids, and strong opioids paired with adjuvant medications (such as neuropathic agents, muscle relaxants, and corticosteroids). Palliative radiation therapy is also utilized to rapidly reduce painful bone metastases and spinal cord compression.
Treatment Approach & Clinical Protocols
Patients undergo a thorough pain assessment mapping pain location, intensity (0-10 scale), temporal pattern, and character (burning, throbbing, sharp). Individualized round-the-clock medication schedules are established along with rescue doses for breakthrough pain.
Common Indications & Applications
- Bone metastasis pain management
- Neuropathic pain from nerve compression or chemotherapy
- Visceral pain from abdominal or pelvic tumor pressure
- Post-surgical or radiation-induced chronic discomfort
- Palliative symptom management for advanced disease
What Patients Should Expect
Structured pain scoring, individualized prescription schedules, and ongoing dosage adjustments during outpatient follow-up visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will strong pain medications cause addiction when used for cancer pain?
No. When taken under strict medical supervision for legitimate physical cancer pain, psychological addiction to prescribed pain medicines is extremely rare.
Q: How quickly does palliative radiation relieve bone pain?
Palliative radiation often provides significant pain relief within 1 to 2 weeks by shrinking tumor pressure on bones and surrounding nerve fibers.
Q: What is breakthrough pain and how is it managed?
Breakthrough pain is a sudden temporary flare-up of pain that occurs despite taking regular background medication. It is managed using fast-acting rescue doses prescribed by your doctor.
