Randomized Controlled TrialHypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation for anxiolysis and pain control during extraction procedure in 8-12-year-old children: a randomized control trial.
Hypnosis (H) and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) have proven to be effective in a variety of medical settings; there is a paucity of their practical application in paediatric dentistry. The study aimed to comparatively evaluate the role of H and PMR on anxiety, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SPO2), blood pressure (BP), pain, and analgesic requirement during extraction in children. ⋯ Hypnosis and PMR are effective techniques for anxiolysis and pain control in paediatric dental patients.

The purpose of this research was to describe health care nurse and providers' pain management education priorities and barriers for pediatric cardio-thoracic surgical (CTS) patients and their caregivers. ⋯ Nurses and providers prioritize immediate postoperative pain management education; however, there remains a need to focus more on the outcomes of pain management education for caregivers and pediatric CTS patients after discharge.

Neuraxial anesthesia provides excellent pain control for pediatric burn patients receiving excision and split-thickness skin grafts - a retrospective case series.
Postoperative pain management in pediatric burn patients requiring excision and split-thickness skin grafts remains largely under-studied. ICU care is often necessary due to the level of sedation and amount of opioids required to achieve adequate pain control. ⋯ Spinal anesthesia was most commonly used for split-thickness skin grafting in the pediatric burn population and provides excellent analgesia for patients' immediate postoperative course, including their initial dressing changes, with minimal risk for complications. Pain was well-controlled in all subgroups indicating that this strategy can be used flexibly in a variety of pediatric burn patients.

Aromatherapy for Procedural Anxiety in Pain Management and Interventional Spine Procedures: A Randomized Trial.
The aim of this study was to evaluate a nonsedating agent, lavender aromatherapy, to reduce anxiety before interventional spinal procedures. ⋯ Lavender-based aromatherapy is effective in reducing preprocedural anxiety before interventional spine procedures for pain management.
