Morphine via pharmacokinetically based PCA (PKPCA) vs Morphine via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA)

Average pain scores (0-100 VAS) · People with cancer receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy (or both) who have oral mucositis

Morphine via pharmacokinetically based PCA (PKPCA) led to lower average pain scores (0-100 VAS) compared with morphine via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA); GRADE not reported.
