In this parallel randomized controlled trial, 110 participants were assigned to the intervention or control group. Online individualized education was conducted as the intervention. Depending on participants' preferences, online education sessions were completed via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or WhatsApp. The primary outcome is patient-related barriers to cancer pain management, and the secondary outcome is pain intensity. The Patient Information Form, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and the Barriers Questionnaire II (BQ-II) were used for data collection. The statistical effects of the intervention on the outcomes were modeled in repeated measures ANOVA test. The results show that both the group (F = 11.316, p = 0.001) and time effects (F = 63.878, p
