简要总结
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Constipation Treatment Protocol and to test whether management according to dose of constipation-inducing medications or according to on-going assessment is most effective.
详细描述
Patients will undergo a baseline assessment during their regular outpatient visit. With their permission, the investigators will audio record this visit for quality control. After the study, the recordings will be erased. Patients will be asked to complete 4 questionnaires. The investigators will collect contact information so that the follow-up assessments can be done by phone.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dose Intervention - Opioid
Laxative Treatment: Participants Receiving Opioids for the Treatment of Pain. Participants will be taken off any laxative preparation they may already be on and will be put on laxative treatment based on the Constipation Treatment Protocol. The dose of laxative will be based on the dose of the opioid pain medication they are receiving.
干预措施: Laxative Treatment (Other)

Assessment Intervention - Opioid
Laxative Treatment: Participants Receiving Opioids for the Treatment of Pain. Participants will be taken off any laxative preparation they may already be on and will be put on laxative treatment based on the Constipation Treatment Protocol. The dose of laxative will be determined based on their severity of constipation.

Control Group - Opioid
Standard of Care: Participants Receiving Opioids for the Treatment of Pain will receive their usual care at Moffitt while participating in weekly assessments. After participation in the study is complete, participants will be offered the same protocol that is given to patients in the treatment groups.

Assessment Intervention - Vinca Alkaloid
Laxative Treatment: Participants Receiving a Specific Type of Chemotherapy (vinca alkaloids). Vinca alkaloids include medication such as Vincristine, Vinblastine, or Vinorelbine. Participants will be taken off any laxative preparation they may already be on and will be put on laxative treatment based on the Constipation Treatment Protocol. The dose of laxative will be based on their level of constipation.

结局指标
主要结局
Phase I - Record Constipation Incidence and Symptoms
时间窗: 18 months
To identify the incidence, severity, distress and trajectory of constipation in cancer patients receiving opioids over an eight week period and to evaluate the relationships between constipation intensity and opioid dose. To identify the incidence, severity, distress and trajectory of constipation in groups of cancer patients who may be at risk due to vinca alkaloids (vincristine. vinblastine. vinorelbine and vindesine) over an eight week period and to evaluate the relationship between constipation intensity and vinca alkaloid dose.
