In order to measure the intensity of pain the numerical rating scale was used \(NRS\), whereas other pathological symptoms were assessed by ESAS scale \(Edmonton Symptom Assessment System\). Additionally, pharmacological management was analysed. The following tests were used for data analysis\: ch2 Pearson\; Fisher\; Fisher\-Freeman\-Halton\; t\-Student\; Kolmogorow\-Smirnow\; U Man\-Whitney, Friedman, analysis of variance \(ANOVA\), and generalized estimating equations model \(GEE\). Effects which had value p < 0,05 were statistically significant. RESULTS\: The author’s own study showed that during hospitalization in both groups the intensity of pain decreased. The assessment of pain intensity correlated with the stage of hospitalization. Patients reported the highest intensity of pain on the day of admission to the inpatient palliative care unit. In the second measurement the degree of pain intensity was lower than in the first one and in the third measurement it was the lowest. In both researched groups the differences were substantial \(p < 0,001\). The differences were similarly substantial in the length of hospitalization\: the persons with the CHNN group were, on average, hospitalized longer than from CHN group. The study found tha"]
