Abstract		Cancer of the head and neck has particularly devastating effects both on the patient and his physician. All aspects of cancer pain, i.e. physical, psychological and sociological ones, are much more expressed in these patients. Patients operated on for maxillofacial cancer tend to consider themselves to be disabled, which considerably deteriorates their psychosocial state. Efficient control of pain prevents unnecessary suffering and improves the quality of life in these patients.
