The proportion of pain was similar among sexes, but the proportion of non-cancer pain was higher among women (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Regarding pain intensity, the magnitude of breakthrough pain in patients with oncological pain is nearly 1 point greater than in patients with non-oncological pain (7.53 vs 6.81; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.064). Cancer pain is more likely to be limiting of normal life than non-cancer pain (59% versus 38%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Regarding analgesic treatment, only 60\/306 patients (19.6%) were receiving strong opioids.
