This subgroup analysis of a non-interventional study involving general practitioners and internists investigated the administration of tapentadol prolonged release (Palexia retard) for the treatment of severe chronic tumor pain in routine clinical practice in Germany. ⋯ Treatment with tapentadol PR resulted in marked effective and well tolerated relief of severe tumor pain accompanied by an improvement of pain-related impairments of daily activities and quality of life in this routine clinical practice non-interventional study. Tapentadol PR--an innovative effective analgesic--might thus provide an alternative treatment option in the management of tumor pain.
