ePainQ stands for electronic reporting of pain using QTool
The aim is to develop an integrated web-system for patients to report symptoms and side effects during and after surgery for breast cancer. Data that is reported by patients using the web-system (called QTool) may be used in clinical consultations. Where patients report mild side effects they will receive advice on how to manage them and to seek timely medical advice.
