Summary

The UDOPAL Study proposes an innovative home-based care approach for the management of pain in patients admitted to the Home Hospitalization Unit (UHD). This model incorporates interventional pain management techniques into the clinical practice of home-hospital professionals, supported when necessary by specialists from the Pain Medicine Unit.

Pain is a prevalent and often undertreated problem in patients receiving home hospitalization, where complex or oncologic pain may require specialized procedures that traditionally are only performed in hospital settings. The UDOPAL model aims to bridge this gap by providing ultrasound-guided and minimally invasive pain procedures directly at the patient's home, including nerve blocks, infiltrations, and other targeted interventions.

This observational, prospective study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and clinical impact of implementing interventional pain management at home. Adult patients with chronic, oncologic, or complex pain will be included. Outcomes include pain intensity, opioid use, functional improvement, quality of life, and patient satisfaction, as well as adverse events related to the techniques.

The study seeks to provide scientific evidence supporting a new model of interventional home-based pain care that improves comfort, continuity of care, and efficient use of healthcare resources. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee (CEIm Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe, Acta No. 600, 08/10/2025) and is conducted at Hospital de Manises (Valencia, Spain).

UDOPAL model

The UDOPAL model proposes a novel clinical approach to manage pain in patients hospitalized at home through the use of interventional pain techniques. The model enables trained home-hospitalization professionals to perform minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedures at the patient's home when conventional pharmacological strategies are insufficient. This observational study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and clinical effectiveness of this innovative home-based pain management approach, focusing on pain intensity reduction, opioid-sparing effect, improvement in functional status, and patient and family satisfaction.
