Abstract
Freedom from pain is one of the most basic of human needs. The purpose of this paper is to compare the nursing research related to alternative or adjunctive treatments for cancer pain management. Historically, there have been few relevant controlled studies. These studies have small sample sizes with weak theoretical frameworks. Despite the multiple shortcomings related to the current literature, a correlation has been shown between relaxation, imagery, music and education in decreasing the severity of pain experienced by patients.
