“…Bernhofer [8] also states that undertreated pain leads to respiratory, cardiac and endocrine complications, and delay in healing and potentiates the onset of chronic pain. Despite the growing awareness on pain management, patients still suffer from unnecessary pain in many hospitals with the resultant negative effects on physical, emotional, and spiritual health and quality of life [9–11]. Pain management is an important aspect of patient care and nurses play a significant role in the acute care setting in providing pain assessment and treatment [9, 12].…”

Pain management is an important aspect of patient care and nurses play a significant role in the acute care setting in providing pain assessment and treatment [9, 12]. The use of nonpharmacological pain relief techniques has been found to be effective with less side effects and complications associated with them (Rakel and Barr, 2010).…”

“…This study will assist in improving the acceptance levels and inclusion of nonpharmacological therapies in basic nursing programmes as a topic or subject area to be studied extensively [2]. On the other hand, lack of knowledge together with other barriers to implementation of these therapies has let patients suffer inadequate pain relief [9, 17]. Overall, there has been little utilisation of nonpharmacological pain management modalities [7].…”

This study is a quantitative descriptive study, which was conducted with an aim to assess the knowledge on nonpharmacological methods of pain management among registered general nurses at Bindura Hospital. This is because most nurses focus more on pharmacological pain management than nonpharmacological therapies which are given less attention or accord. This study used a descriptive study design, which is a nonexperimental research design so as to obtain information about registered nurses knowledge on nonpharmacological pain management. A convenience sampling technique was utilised to select a sample of seventy-five participants. Data were collected by the researcher who distributed self-administered questionnaires to available registered nurses after obtaining informed consent at Bindura Provincial Hospital. The mean knowledge score for this study was 48.6% and was below a pass mark of 50% and far below 80% which is the minimal acceptable level of knowledge on the Nurses Knowledge and Attitude Scale. A minimum knowledge score of 16% was obtained from participants showing lack of knowledge on indications of nonpharmacological pain therapies and a maximum knowledge score of 97.3% was shown on knowledge on nonpharmacological techniques. The following conclusion was drawn from the research findings; the study showed that the nurses have poor knowledge regarding nonpharmacological pain management as indicated by mean knowledge score of 48.6%. The researcher therefore recommends that the nursing practice should take an initiative in ensuring that all practicing nurses practice the highest possible pain management nursing care and that opportunities should be made available for nurses to be educated in effective pain management utilising nonpharmacological therapies.

“…In addition, non-pharmacological interventions are also important to improve quality of life and comfort and reduce symptom burden in the patient by relieving pain related to adverse effects of therapeutic interventions employed in the cancer patients receiving palliative care. As non-pharmacological intervention can reduce pain by either alone or in combination with drugs, they have been increasingly used in recent years (Gokhale & Gokhale, 2017). Music plus medicine was used as a non-pharmacological intervention in many health problems as a traditional treatment and psychosocial intervention (Baldısserın, 2020).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of music on pain, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity of cancer patients who received care in a palliative care unit. The population of this randomized controlled trial consisted of cancer patients hospitalized in the palliative care service between July 2018 and July 2019. The study included 60 patients (30 interventions/30 controls). The patients in the intervention group were given a total of six music sessions, 10 minutes each with the Turkish classical music in maqams of their choice (Hejaz or Rast accompanied by an expert tambour (drum) player). There was a significant difference between the mean total pain scores, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity scores of the patients in the intervention and control groups before and after music therapy. Music therapy decreased the level of pain. It is demonstrated that Turkish classical music therapy improved the pain, anxiety, comfort, and functional capacity in the palliative care unit.

“…In light of the multi-factorial nature of NP, non-pharmacological modulation strategies like physical (sensory), psychological interventions, and other methodslike spirituality and music therapy 5,9 along with the pharmacotherapy are the methods that have been applied and found to be effective, safe and relatively inexpensive. Still, the response is usually subjective (Varies with different modalities and among different ethnicities and cultures and other factors) 1,10 .…”

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic debilitating condition that affects all dimensions of health. Though pharmacological therapy is the main treatment of varied neuropathic pain conditions, not all neuropathic pain conditions respond well to drug therapies. Therefore, under-utilized nonpharmacological strategies were tried and implemented in chronic neuropathic pain subjects to provide adequate pain relief and restore functionality. This study aimed to assess the awareness of nonpharmacological interventions in neuropathic pain and to determine the attitude and practice towards the actual implementation of nonpharmacological modalities in attenuating pain symptoms of NP subjects. It was a Prospective, Observational study conducted on 100 OPD subjects of either gender aged 18-65 years with newly diagnosed chronic neuropathic pain conditions who agreed to participate in the study from January 2019 to June 2020 in the Pain Super-specialty clinic at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore. Data were collected using a purposive sampling method, using a Self-administered, 14-item Questionnaire. The mean age of the study subjects was 44.68 years. 60.0% were aware of the existing non-drug pain therapies and expressed satisfaction not only with the physical benefits but also with the psychological results to alleviate pain and provide a sense of pain control. The present study gave a positive outlook on knowledge, practice, and actual implementation of various nonpharmacological modalities in managing chronic painful NP along with mainstay pharmacotherapy in relieving pain symptoms effectively.
