description Our work has as general objective to evaluate the quality from the attention to the patients with pain in terminal stage and specifically to determine the intensity of the pain applying the similar visual scale of the pain, to evaluate the grade of functional inability applying the scale of modified PROLO, to correlate the painful intensity with the analgesic power of the used medications keeping in mind the Analgesic Stairway of OMS, as well as the capacity to participate in the taking of decisions when carrying out a to proceed and the real knowledge of its illness.For we select it 50 patients, of an universe of 100 patients, the included patients came remitted of the consultations of the medical different Specialties and of Oncology with I Diagnose of pain for cancer, he/she is applied an individual interview carried out by the specialist of the Clinic of the Chronic pain. You quantify the painful intensity, you determines the grade of functional inability, pharmacological previous treatments, Information prescribes on the illness, therapeutic possibilities, complications and the morphine use.As a result of our study we could appreciate that 56% of the patients suffered moderate and intense pain that the grade of functional inability was bad that you/they had been treated improperly from the pharmacological point of view, and that most ignored the cause of its pain.
