Pain Management in Nursing
Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare, and poorly managed pain slows recovery and harms quality of life. Nurses assess pain, give treatment and help patients use both medicines and non-drug methods safely.
At Nursing Science 2027, pain management research is presented mainly in the anesthesia and perianesthesia nursing session. Pain nurses and researchers share approaches for acute, chronic and procedural pain.

Recent Advances in Pain Management in Nursing
Multimodal pain plans that combine several medicines with non-drug methods are reducing opioid use after surgery. For long-term pain, nurse-led programmes increasingly focus on movement and coping skills, alongside rehabilitation nursing.
Pain is often under-treated in people who cannot easily describe it, such as those with dementia, a key concern in geriatric nursing and elderly care. Cancer pain and pain at the end of life remain central to oncology nursing and hospice and palliative nursing.
