Title
Patient-related Barriers to Pain Management: Revisiting the Pain Barriers Questionnaire

The purpose of this study is to find out if patient-related barriers to cancer pain management have increased over the last 20 years. Researchers will also examine if pain severity, pain medication prescriptions, and pain medication use have changed over the last 20 years.
