Non-drug treatment for lung cancer pain

Non-drug treatments for lung cancer pain include the following:

(1) Psychological suggestion therapy

This method is mainly to enhance the patient's confidence in overcoming the disease. It can be combined with various lung cancer treatment methods to suggest to patients how to adjust themselves, tell them that they will definitely be able to overcome the disease if they cooperate with the treatment, and make them more courageous in life. Let the patient eat three meals a day and do necessary rehabilitation training to fully mobilize their own anti-tumor ability, so as to achieve the purpose of pain relief.

(2) Relaxation and pain relief

Relaxation of the whole body can produce a sense of lightness, and muscle relaxation can block pain reactions. Ask the patient to close his eyes, sigh, yawn, and then bend his hips and knees to lie flat, relax his abdominal muscles and back muscles, and do abdominal breathing slowly. You can also ask the patient to close his eyes in a quiet environment and take deep and slow inhalations and exhalations to allow fresh air to enter the lungs, thereby achieving the purpose of pain relief.

(3) Physical analgesia

The purpose of pain relief can be achieved by stimulating the skin around the painful area or the corresponding healthy side. The stimulation method can be massage, applying cooling analgesics, etc., or temperature stimulation, or placing a hot water bottle on a wet towel for local hot compress, each time for 20 minutes, which can achieve a certain pain relief effect.

(4) Transfer analgesia

Let the patient sit in a comfortable chair, close his eyes, and think about interesting things in his childhood, or think about anything he wants to think about, for 15 minutes each time, usually 2 hours after eating, and then sit quietly for 2 minutes with eyes closed. You can also choose some fast-paced music according to the patient's hobbies, and let the patient enjoy it while clapping and clapping to the rhythm. You can also let the patient read some jokes, humorous novels, or tell a crosstalk for fun, all of which can achieve the purpose of diverting pain.
