Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has emerged as an effective treatment option for a variety of complex wounds. However, pain is anecdotally a common side effect of NPWT affecting quality of life and even precluding some patients from continuing with the treatment. This literature review examines the evidence relating to pain management for patients undergoing NPWT with a view to identifying methods of administration that could minimise pain and allow more patients to benefit from the treatment. The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), British Nursing Index (BNI), Embase and Medline databases were accessed to identify relevant studies. Ten studies were found that matched the review inclusion criteria. These demonstrate some potential areas for further research but more evidence is required before any recommendations can be made.
负压伤口治疗（NPWT）已成为治疗各种复杂伤口的有效选择。然而，据传闻，疼痛是NPWT常见的副作用，会影响生活质量，甚至使一些患者无法继续接受治疗。这篇文献综述探讨了与接受NPWT治疗的患者疼痛管理相关的证据，旨在确定能够将疼痛降至最低并使更多患者受益于该治疗的给药方法。通过访问护理及相关健康文献累积索引（CINAHL）、英国护理索引（BNI）、Embase和Medline数据库来识别相关研究。发现有10项研究符合综述纳入标准。这些研究表明了一些有待进一步研究的潜在领域，但在提出任何建议之前，还需要更多证据。
