Patients with cancer commonly experience pain, which typically is controlled pharmacologically. Despite advances in pain management, pain continues to be undertreated. Nonpharmacologic measures may effectively manage pain but often are overlooked or underused. Nurses who are familiar with simple, noninvasive, nonpharmacologic measures, such as patient positioning, thermal measures, massage therapy, aromatherapy, and mind-body therapies, can identify and educate patients who may benefit from nonpharmacologic interventions.
癌症患者通常会经历疼痛，这种疼痛通常通过药物进行控制。尽管在疼痛管理方面取得了进展，但疼痛仍未得到充分治疗。非药物措施可能有效地控制疼痛，但往往被忽视或未得到充分利用。熟悉简单、无创非药物措施（如患者体位摆放、热疗、按摩疗法、芳香疗法和身心疗法）的护士，能够识别并指导可能从非药物干预中受益的患者。
