Summary

This study looks at 200 adults with moderate to severe cancer pain who are taking opioid painkillers like hydrocodone or oxycodone. Researchers will use smartwatches and questionnaires to track pain, sleep quality, and mood over three months. The goal is to understand how pain, insomnia, anxiety, and depression are linked, which could lead to better pain management strategies.
