Effectiveness of vibratory stimulation on needle-related procedural pain in children: a systematic review.
The objective of this systematic review was to identify, evaluate and synthesize evidence of the effectiveness of vibratory stimulation to reduce needle-related procedural pain in children aged 18 years and younger. ⋯ Vibratory stimulation was effective in reducing NRP pain in children; however, blinding was not possible in the trials. Moreover, heterogeneity was high. Therefore, the confidence in the evidence is low. Personal preference should be a priority when using vibratory stimulation in the clinical setting.

Reliability, validity and generalizability of multidimensional pain assessment tools used in postoperative adult patients: a systematic review protocol.
The objective of this review is to evaluate the measurement properties of multidimensional pain assessment tools for postoperative pain in adults. ⋯ MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Trials (CENTRAL) will be searched, as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and multiple gray literature sources. There will be no limitations on publication date. Titles and abstracts will be screened by independent reviewers for inclusion. The full text of selected papers will be retrieved and assessed against the inclusion criteria. Two independent reviewers will assess papers for methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist, and papers with poor scores on relevant items will be excluded. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers using a standardized data extraction tool. Statistical pooling will be performed, if possible.

Non-pharmacological interventions for acute pain management in patients with opioid abuse or opioid tolerance: a scoping review protocol.
The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the evidence on non-pharmacological interventions for acute pain management in patients with opioid tolerance and opioid abuse. ⋯ PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Europe PubMed Central, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov will be searched, as well as sources of unpublished studies. After screening the titles and abstracts of identified citations, two independent reviewers will retrieve potentially relevant full-text studies, assess methodological quality and extract data. Data will be presented in diagrammatic or tabular form, and a qualitative thematic analysis will be undertaken. A narrative summary will accompany the tabulated results.

Postoperative pain management in a surgical unit in a Basque Country hospital: a best practice implementation project.
The objective of this project was to implement evidence-based recommendations for post-surgical pain management and improve quality of care for patients. ⋯ The aims and main objectives of the present project were achieved, including improvements in the quality of health education related to pain and the recording of pain data. In addition, variations in the clinical practice related to the management of post-surgical pain decreased.
