I'm a nursing student and I have been searching about Non-drug pain management. What nurses can do for non-drug pain therapy. I would like to know detail and example of Hypnosis, Biofeedback, Guided Imagery, breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, and magic glove or blanket. How I can use these intervention. My text book mention little about these. However, I cannot know how I can use these in hospital. Thus, could anyone tell me example of how nurses use these for patients please? Also, which non-drug pain management are used most and which one is most effective?

You didn't mention acupressure, massage, or reflexology, which I think are most important and useful.

These are fairly easy to learn, and might be a useful adjunct to your training.
