Abstract:
Effective management of postoperative pain following oral surgery is crucial for enhancing patient care quality. Given the high sensitivity of the oral region and its complex neural network, managing postoperative pain poses significant clinical challenges. This review assessed the efficacy of pharmacological treatments methods (such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen and corticosteroids) and non-pharmacological treatment strategies (such as physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychological support), and discussed how these methods can be synergistically optimized for pain management. Additionally, this paper explored the challenges associated with implementing these strategies, including the standardization of pain assessment, the ongoing education of nursing staff, and the importance of interdisciplinary team collaboration. By integrating these approaches, this review aims to guide improvements in clinical pain management practices to enhance patient recovery outcomes and satisfaction, reduce reliance on pharmacological treatments, and ultimately elevate the overall quality of nursing care.
