Our group has decided on the symptom of “pain” for our research project. The research question we have chosen is: In rheumatoid arthritis patients, how does yoga therapy compare to massage therapy in pain management?
P (population) is rheumatoid arthritis patients
I (intervention) is yoga therapy
C (comparison intervention) is massage therapy
O (outcome) is pain management
Problem / Background:
- The problem / issue of uncontrolled pain in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient remains to be a large problem despite many available pharmacologic treatments available.
- Many times, patients are reluctant to take multiple medications, and fear becoming addicted to pain medication (Fitzcharles, DaCosta, Ware, & Shir, 2009).
- Numerous adjunct therapies to pharmacologic treatments have been identified in the treatment of RA pain, such as yoga, herbal products, massage, acupuncture, and exercise (Durham, Fowler, Donato, Smith, & Jensen, 2015). However, the literature does not compare adjunct therapies and their effectiveness of pain control.
- Pain management in patients remain a high priority for nurses. Although nurses cannot prescribe medications for pain relief, they can provide information for adjunct therapies that are available. Bringing massage to the bedside in a stable patient could also be part of the future in pain management.
