Pain remains a global health problem affecting all populations. There is limited knowledge, however, about the effect of limited English proficiency (LEP) on pain care and outcomes. ⋯ The findings revealed that the pain research on LEP populations is still in its infancy, with varied areas of focus using descriptive research designs. More pain intervention research for LEP populations is needed to reduce pain disparities.

Review Meta Analysis
The Effect of Virtual Reality Application on Pain During Wound Care Dressing Change: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
To evaluate the effect of virtual reality application on pain during a wound care dressing change. ⋯ It was found that the virtual reality application moderately reduced pain during a wound dressing change and was a reliable application. However, it was suggested that the virtual reality application alone was insufficient to reduce pain during wound care and should be applied together with analgesic or anesthetic drugs included in the standard wound care procedure.

Post-operative pain is a common form of acute pain. Objective pain assessment in post-anesthesia care units after surgery is useful regardless of the patient's condition. ⋯ The APA5 is an easy and simple tool for measuring pain in patients in post-anesthesia care units who have difficulties with self-reporting.
