Abstract
Objective: The aim of this case report series is to detail the use in a clinical setting of transdermal fentanyl patches for the treatment of patients with continuous non-malignant pain. Case reports: These cases, collected in Ireland, describe patients with back pain, leg pain, arthritic pain and pain from other non-malignant pathologies. Opioids differ in terms of potency and adverse effects, and also in their methods of administration. In these case reports fentanyl used transdermally was effective in alleviating pain where other analgesics had provided only limited relief. Patients show a range of individual benefits from treatment with transdermal fentanyl, including increased independence. Conclusion: Transdermal fentanyl is a well tolerated and highly acceptable treatment for patients requiring strong opioids for continuous pain secondary to non-malignant conditions.
