Effect of Regular Smooth Breathing on the Intensity of Pain Caused by Dressing Change in Patients with Second-Degree Burns: A Clinical Trial

Abstract: Background: The pain caused by wound dressing is common in burn patients. Using respiratory techniques is one of the nonpharmacological methods of pain control that has remained understudied in burn patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to probe the effect of regular smooth breathing on the pain induced by dressing change in patients with second-degree burns. Methods: This clinical trial was performed on 30 qualified patients with second-degree burns. The subjects were chosen through random sampling … Show more

“…In the Westerdahl et al RCT, 33 the breathing intervention was used five times daily during the postoperative course, but the frequency of use was incompletely described in the other two acute postoperative pain RCTs. 30 , 31 The duration of use was limited to the period of acute labor pain and pain during dressing changes in the obstetric 28 , 32 and acute burn 29 , 34 RCTs, respectively. In the three acute postoperative pain RCTs, the duration of use was two days, 31 three days 30 and two months.…”

“…The seven RCTs reported three different pain scales. Five RCTs reported a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0-100, 28 , 30 - 32 , 34 one RCT reported a VAS ranging from 0-10, 29 and one RCT reported a bodily pain subscale of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) ranging from 0-100. 33 In addition to the VAS, a single RCT reported a visual descriptor scale ranging from 1-7 which was anchored with four pain descriptors (eg, no pain, mild, moderate, severe) placed equidistant on a vertical line.…”

“…In addition to conventional pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological ones can be used to control pain anxiety; using cognitive-behavioral techniques, for instance, effectively reduce pain anxiety [3]. Breathing techniques are one of the methods of distraction that includes several types such as diaphragmatic breathing, yoga breathing, unilateral nostril breathing, hi-ho rhythmic breathing, and four-count deep regular breathing [4]. Despite significant advances in the management of anxiety, there is still a lack of managing or controlling it in burn patients.…”
