  • Total Pain in People With Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Scoping Review. [Review]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 29. [Online ahead of print]Silva CP, Perlamagna ABS, … Garcia ACMPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: The literature on TN remains predominantly biomedical in its assessment of pain. Psychological and social dimensions are underexplored, and the spiritual dimension is entirely absent. Future research should adopt multidimensional, person-centered frameworks, including Total Pain.
  • Effects of IMB-Based Education on Pain Management in Nursing Students. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 29. [Online ahead of print]Korucu SN, Pamuk H, Mert SPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: Nursing students who receive non-pharmacological pain management education based on the IMB model may be more likely to use non-pharmacological pain management methods through improvements in their knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills. Clinical Implications Integrating IMB model-based, practice-oriented education into nursing curricula may support students' competence and application of nonpharmacological pain management methods in clinical practice.
  • Patient Activation is Associated With Positive Attitudes Toward Pain Medications. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 09. [Online ahead of print]Lee JW, Taylor JL, Skolasky RLPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: High patient activation was associated with decreasing short- and long-term opioid use and less maladaptive attitudes toward pain medications. Participants with long-term opioid use were more likely to have maladaptive attitudes toward pain medications. Interventions that deploy multi-modal nonpharmacological or psychosocial approaches (e.g., motivational interviewing), in addition to collaboratively setting goals, managing expectations, and improving medication knowledge, are needed to improve patient activation among patients with cLBP.
  • Nurse-Led Music Listening During Chemotherapy: A Prepost Study. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 09. [Online ahead of print]Anguela-Maydeu M, El Hamdouni B, … Jiménez-Herrera MPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: A brief nurse-led receptive music listening intervention delivered during chemotherapy was associated with immediate improvements in emotional and physical wellbeing. The intervention was feasible and well accepted.
  • An Explainable AI-Guided Framework for Cancer Pain Phenotyping and Clinical Decision-Making. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]Khalil H, Shajrawi A, … Al-Yateem NPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: Integrating ML and XAI into cancer pain assessment provides clinically interpretable insights into multidimensional patient profiles. The identified phenotypes and proposed framework support personalized, mechanism-based pain management. Incorporating psychological and behavioral dimensions into routine assessment may improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
  • The Effects, Usability and User Satisfaction of Virtual Reality for People With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Scoping Review. [Review]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]Temmink SJM, Bode C, … Vonkeman HEPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: Current literature suggests that psychotherapy-based VR interventions are most consistently associated with reported reductions in pain intensity in people with chronic MSK pain. However, findings predominantly focus on chronic low back pain populations, limiting generalizability to other MSK conditions. Further research is needed to explore the application of VR interventions across a broader range of chronic MSK pain conditions and to consistently report outcomes related to usability and user satisfaction. Nursing Practice Implications VR shows potential as an at-home self-management tool for chronic MSK pain reduction, particularly low back pain. Selecting evidence-based, tailored programs may increase treatment effectiveness and use.
  • Immobilization Discomfort During Prolonged Emergency Stretcher Use: An Exploratory Qualitative Descriptive Study. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 07. [Online ahead of print]Mota M, Prates I, … Santos MRPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: Immobilization discomfort is a subjective, multidimensional experience involving physical, psychological, and environmental components, and is distinct from pain in most volunteers. A preliminary conceptual definition was formulated, which may serve as a foundation for improving patient assessment and care protocols in emergency and transport settings. The findings are preliminary and require validation in trauma populations before clinical generalization.
  • Cold and Vibration for Pain Relief During Pediatric Venipuncture: A Quasi-Randomized Trial. [Journal Article]
    Pain Manag Nurs. 2026 Oct 03. [Online ahead of print]Torres CPMB, Tedim S, … Batalha LMDCPM
  • CONCLUSIONS: The DCV was safe, feasible, and well accepted in pediatric nursing practice. Although it did not significantly reduce pain scores during venipuncture, its safety profile and parental acceptance suggest that it may be used as a complementary comfort strategy rather than as a stand-alone analgesic intervention.
