diminish the emotional component of pain.
Nonpharmacologic methods of pain management can
diminish the emotional components of pain, strengthen
coping abilities, give clients a sense of control, contribute
to pain relief, decrease fatigue, and promote sleep.
Although it is true that nonpharmacologic methods do not
require a health care provider's prescription, it is not the
best rationale for their use. Many nonpharmacologic
methods are more expensive than pain medications,
especially if nursing staff are needed to implement the
methods. Nonpharmacologic interventions lessen the
emotional impact of pain but may not diminish the
sensation of pain. A combined approach is often most
effective.
