Resumo: ABSTRACT: Pain is a symptom often found in cancer, and it is considered the main patients demand factor for medical care. Patients suffering from malignant pain experience diverse physical, mental, social and spiritual discomfort. In this way, the pain relief is a patient right, that must be attended by health professionals, and it is very important to implement alternative therapies less aggressive, non-invasive, cost- affordable, easy handling and with few contraindications. In this context, the aim of this study was to perform a literature review in order to better understand the process of cancer pain and, above all, to show some non-invasive techniques that could be used to control this type of pain. Among them, there are the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), the application of heat and cold (thermotherapy and cryotherapy), the therapeutic massage, the aromatherapy, and musictherapy. These complementary measures are based, mainly, in search of global rebalancing, not only symptomatic treatment and thus provide the patient a sense of situation control, encouraging his participation and responsibility on their own treatment. However, the absence of scientific reasons related to non-pharmacological interventions, and even the ignorance of such measures existence, difficult its implementation as a tool for control of cancer pain. Thus, it is necessary to do more controlled clinical studies on the effectiveness of complementary therapies in controlling cancer pain, in order to establish reliable use criteria.

Os pacientes sofredores de dor neoplásica vivenciam uma gama de desconfortos de ordem física, psíquica, social e espiritual. Neste sentido, o alívio da dor constitui um direito do doente, que deve ser atendido pelos profissionais de saúde, sendo fundamental implementar alternativas terapêuticas menos agressivas, não-invasivas, de custo acessível, fácil manuseio e com poucas contraindicações. Diante deste contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura, com o propósito de compreender melhor o processo da dor oncológica e, sobretudo, abordar algumas técnicas não-invasivas que pudessem ser utilizadas no controle desse tipo de dor. Dentre elas, estão a estimulação elétrica nervosa transcutânea (TENS), a aplicação do calor e frio (termoterapia e crioterapia), a massagem terapêutica, a aromaterapia, e a musicoterapia. Essas medidas complementares baseiam-se, principalmente, na busca do reequilíbrio global e não somente, no tratamento sintomático e, desta forma, proporcionam ao doente senso de controle da situação, estimulando a responsabilidade e a participação do indivíduo em seu próprio tratamento. Entretanto, a falta de maior fundamentação científica relacionada às intervenções não farmacológicas, e até mesmo o desconhecimento da existência dessas medidas, dificulta sua implementação como instrumento para o controle da dor no câncer. Deste modo, faz-se necessário que sejam realizados mais estudos clínicos controlados sobre a eficácia das terapias complementares no controle da dor oncológica, para que seja possível estabelecer critérios de utilização confiáveis.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2009-10-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1151Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 2 No 3 (2009): set./dez.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 2 n. 3 (2009): set./dez.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1151/903Fonseca, Joyce Fernanda DuqueBritto, Márcia do Nascimentoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-23T17:27:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1151Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-05-23T17:27:19Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse
