Abstract
Bone marrow biopsies (BMBA) are frequent, distressing occurrences for hematological cancer patients. Literature suggests that a variety of interventions may decrease pain or anxiety.
-
Room décor changes
-
Music and visual imagery as environmental changes (EC)
-
Guided meditation
-
Virtual reality (VR) distraction therapy
-
Lidocaine is the routine option for pain relief, but it is not effective at completely anesthetizing the marrow cavity.
-
Nonpharmacologic interventions need to be explored.
