Effects of pain management using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug suppositories during brachytherapy for cervical cancer: A single-center prospective observational study.

The NRS score was approximately 3-4, and satisfaction with analgesia was approximately 4 out of 5 when NSAIDs or acetaminophen suppositories were used as analgesics during intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Although the current pain management protocol is clinically acceptable, inadequate analgesia is indicated in approximately 30% of patients.
