Palliative Care Symptom Series: Constipation

Constipation is one of the most common and distressing symptoms in palliative care, affecting up to 87% of patients in some studies. This video provides a crucial, evidence-based, stepwise approach to managing this symptom, especially for complex cases like Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC).

You’ll always find us going over stool consistency and review the Bristol Stool Chart with patients — it’s a quick, visual way to open up a conversation many avoid.
Especially with opioid-induced constipation (OIC), asking early and treating effectively can make all the difference.

Watch this free video for a stepwise approach, including when to use PAMORAs (Peripherally Acting Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonists) in Opioid Induced Constipation (OIC) and when not to.
We treat pain fast — but constipation? Too often gets left behind (literally).
Let’s change that.
