Mindful Breathing as an Adjunctive Approach to Chronic Low Back Pain Management: A Scoping Review.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common and challenging condition. This scoping review explores the literature on mindful breathing's role in managing CLBP, either alone or alongside physiotherapy. ⋯ Mindful breathing holds promise for chronic low back pain management, with studies revealing pain reduction and improved quality of life. Combining it with core stability exercises enhances outcomes. However, standardized protocols are lacking, limiting clinical use. Future research should focus on precise guidelines for integration into practice. Mindful breathing offers a holistic approach to pain management.

To search for studies that address the efficacy of nonpharmacologic methods for pain relief in adults undergoing cardiac surgeries. ⋯ Some interventions, when combined with pharmacologic therapy, were effective in relieving postoperative pain after cardiac surgeries, according to the studies analyzed. However, most studies had significant methodological flaws, and further studies with high methodological quality are needed.

The aim of this study was to identify non-pharmacological pain relief therapies in children undergoing surgery. ⋯ In this study, we highlight the importance of non-pharmacological therapies in pediatric postoperative pain management. Cognitive-behavioral techniques, especially music therapy, video therapy, and therapeutic play, reduce pediatric postoperative pain. They are therefore effective therapies that nurses can use in this area. Further research into the effectiveness of storytelling is necessary, as the evidence is not entirely conclusive. More evidence is also needed on physical methods of pain relief, particularly massage.
