Review Meta Analysis
Effect of Pain Education Interventions on Registered Nurses' Pain Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This review and meta-analysis aims to reveal how pain education interventions affect registered nurses' pain management. ⋯ Pain education study strategies varied widely among the included articles. These articles used multivariate interventions without systematization or sufficient opportunity to transfer the study protocols. It can be concluded that versatile pain nursing education interventions, as well as auditing of pain nursing and its documentation combined with feedback, can be effective to nurses in adapting pain management and assessment practices and increasing patient satisfaction. However, further research is required in this regard. In addition, well-designed, implemented, and reproducible evidence-based pain education intervention is required in the future.

Review Meta Analysis
Effect of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Mindfulness Therapy on Pain and Quality of Life in Patients with Diabetic Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy (MT) for pain relief and quality of life (QOL) in patients with diabetic neuropathy. ⋯ Cognitive behavioral therapy or MT is effective for treating pain in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, improving the QOL, and reducing depressive symptoms. However, large-scale, multi-centre, rigorously designed RCTs are needed to further verify the long-term effects.

Review Meta Analysis
Effects of Distraction on Reducing Pain During Invasive Procedures in Children with Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Distraction is a known behavioral intervention that is widely used for pain management in the pediatric population. However, there is a shortage of reviews reporting the efficacy of distraction for procedural pain reduction in pediatric oncology settings. ⋯ Distraction is an efficacious intervention to reduce procedural pain during needle insertion or lumbar puncture procedures in children with cancer. However, the efficacy of active distraction and VR remain uncertain. Future research should focus on specific comparisons of different forms of distractions with larger sample sizes.

Review Meta Analysis
The impact of Nonpharmacological Interventions on Cortisol During Heel Lance Procedures on Preterm Infants: A Meta-Analysis Of RCTs.
Current research suggests a need to implement environmental, behavioral, and even nutritional interventions, with the objective of improving the comfort and stability of preterm newborn infants, as well as reducing their stress and pain levels. Several studies have used the salivary reactivity of cortisol to assess stress or pain in preterm infants. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of published randomized controlled trials that tested the effects of nonpharmacological interventions on cortisol as a treatment for heel lance pain/stress in preterm infants. ⋯ Future studies should be performed on nonpainful interventions in order to gain more knowledge about the regulation of cortisol in saliva in preterm infants with involving control group and larger sample sizes.

Review Meta Analysis
The Effects of Psychological Interventions on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Psychological interventions are effective at ameliorating the experience of pain in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and chronic back pain. However, their effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) pain has yet to be established AIM: To assess the effectiveness of psychological interventions on pain and related outcomes in adults with DPN. ⋯ These findings demonstrate that the relationship between pain and perceived control identified in other groups who experience chronic pain may also be replicated in the DPN population. This is an important outcome that can guide further research and associated service developments.
