Article Abstract

This series focuses on addressing the intersection of race and racism in palliative care through roundtable discussions with interdisciplinary clinicians, researchers, educators, and leaders in palliative care. These short discussions are intended to stimulate readers to examine issues of race and racism within the field of hospice and palliative care - in the various forms that it appears - as well as serve as a continual call to action to facilitate and promote equity.

Background: Pain management in palliative care, especially among cancer patients, remains a critical challenge that significantly affects patient quality of life. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention that could revolutionize pain management strategies in this vulnerable population. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the effectiveness of VR interventions, focusing exclusively on randomized controlled trials to provide a comprehensive assessment of VR as a therapeutic tool.

Post traumatic headache is a common condition that can be managed with pharmacologic interventions or analgesic procedures; however, most evidence is derived from patients with mild trauma, leaving a large gap with regard to patients with moderate or severe trauma who present complex pain. Botulinum toxin plays an increasingly important role in pain management. This neurotoxin acts on different receptors, ranging from TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1) to CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide).

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-sustaining therapy traditionally used as a bridge to enteral autonomy or intestinal transplantation. Increasingly, it is used for intractable feeding intolerance (IFI), which can occur near the end of life (EOL) in children with severe neurological impairment (SNI). In these cases, HPN use differs from its historical role and requires tailored outpatient planning.

Estimating Health State Utilities for IDH-Mutant Diffuse Glioma.

Pharmacoecon Open

September 2025

Acaster Lloyd Consulting Ltd, Lacon House, 84 Theobalds Rd, London, WC1X 8NL, UK.

Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant (mIDH) gliomas are malignant central nervous system tumours. After initial resection, patients with mIDH gliomas with favourable prognosis may live without receiving oncologic treatment for years, but ultimately patients will experience recurrence and require radio- and/or chemotherapy (RT/CT). Cost-utility analyses (CUA) can explore the value of treatments that delay recurrence and initiation of RT/CT.
