Abstract

Pain is defined by The International Association for the Study of Pain as an “unpleasant sensory, emotional and sensation or behavior pattern related to the past experiences of the individual associated with actual or potential tissue damage, originating from a certain part of the body”. There are pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment methods for pain. Nonpharmacological treatment methods include pain training programs, exercise therapies, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, cognitive-behavioral therapies, acupuncture, massage techniques, hot-cold treatments, and relaxation exercises. Cognitive-behavioral strategies used in pain management are hypnosis, relaxation techniques, distraction. The laughter approach is one of the distraction techniques used in pain management. In the studies, the effects of laughter on rheumatic diseases, diabetes mellitus, allergic responses, immune system, cardiopulmonary disorders, cancers, aging problems, and pain were investigated. One of the non-pharmacological treatment methods used in pain management is laughter therapy. However, according to literature in our country, there are not enough studies that explain the place and importance of laughter therapy in pain management. Therefore, the purpose of the article; to review the concepts of pain and laughter therapy, laughter therapy in pain management, and its effects on pain.

Özet

Ağrı, Uluslararası Ağrı Araştırmaları Birliği tarafından “vücudun belli bir bölgesinden kaynaklanan, doku harabiyetinebağlı olan veya olmayan bireyin geçmişteki deneyimleriyle ilgili istenmedik bir duysal, emosyonel ve hoş olmayan birduyum ya da davranış şekli” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Ağrı için farmakolojik ve nonfarmakolojik tedavi yöntemleribulunmaktadır. Nonfarmakolojik ağrı tedavi yöntemleri; ağrı eğitim programları, egzersiz tedavileri, transkutanözelektrik stimülasyonu, kognitif-davranışsal terapiler, akupunktur, masaj teknikleri, sıcak-soğuk uygulamalar verelaksasyon egzersizlerini içermektedir. Ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan bilişsel-davranışsal stratejiler; hipnozu,relaksasyon tekniklerini ve distraksiyonu içermektedir. Kahkaha yaklaşımı ise ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan distraksiyontekniklerinden biridir. Çalışmalarda kahkahanın, romatizmal hastalıklar, diabetes mellitus, alerjik yanıtlar, bağışıklıksistemi, kardiyopulmoner rahatsızlıklar, kanserler, yaşlılıkla gelişen problemler ve ağrı üzerine iyileştirici etkileriincelenmiştir. Ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan non-farmakolojik tedavi yöntemlerinden biri de kahkaha terapisidir. Ancakülkemizde literatüre göre kahkaha terapisinin ağrı yönetimindeki yeri ve önemini açıklayan yeterli çalışmayarastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle derlemenin amacı; ağrı ve kahkaha terapisi kavramları ile kahkaha terapisinin ağrıyönetiminde kullanımını ve ağrı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir.
