On a surgical oncology floor, there is a need for management of both acute post-surgical pain and chronic cancer pain. 40-90% of cancer patients will complain of pain due to disease, treatment or recovery (Cambron, 2015).There are health risks, side effects and costs to consider when using pharmacologic interventions.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)Low-voltage electrical nodes attached to areas of pain. This stimulates A-beta fibers which activates gate control on the same segmental level as pain. Randomized controlled study evaluating pain and quality of recovery using TENS after pancreatic resection conducted by Bjersa and Andersson (2013). There is a lack of high quality studies on TENS effectiveness. No strong statistical benefits were detected due to small sample size.Massage TherapyPain relief was most effective when body massage was accompanied by foot reflexology and aromatherapy (Cambron, 2015).ExerciseMean pain thresholds decreased among 21 subjects with chronic low back pain after undergoing submaximal aerobic exercise (Meeus, Roussel, Truijen, & Nijs, 2010). Cognitive Behavioral TherapyIn a hypnosis-based CBT, a therapist will provide specific suggestions that will foster relaxation and control over pain (Global Year Against Cancer Pain, 2009). Studies show pain was reduced 86% under hypnosis based CBT. This intervention was particularly effective among children undergoing bone marrow biopsy, pain among women with metastatic breast cancer and adults undergoing bone marrow transplant therapyMusic TherapyMusic has also been show to improve anxiety, depression and increases a sense of power (Huang, Good & Zauszniewski, 2010). Studies show that music therapy decreased pain level of postoperative patient’s by .5 ( scale 1-10) compared to no music. Results showed in a study in Taiwan that comfort was increased by 150% and 50% of the participants reported the music improved their ability to sleep supporting its sedative effect.
