evidence: The portion of the patients with an average pain intensity ≥4 was significantly reduced in the standardized education plus telemonitoring groups compared to the standardized education only group (35 % to 19 %, P = 0.02). The average (−1.2 vs. −1.9) and worst (−0.7 vs. −1.2) pain scales decreased more in the telemonitoring group, but this was not statistically significant.
intervention: pain education plus telemonitoring (experimental arm)
comparator: pain education alone (control arm)
outcome: fatigue, pain , and insomnia
