What are the latest advancements in pain management for nursing?
Pain management in nursing has seen advancements with the integration of multimodal approaches and new technologies. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices have evolved, allowing patients to manage their pain relief more effectively. Additionally, advancements in non-pharmacological therapies, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), are being incorporated into pain management plans. Nurses are also adopting evidence-based guidelines to tailor pain management strategies to individual patient needs, improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.
