The analgesic effect of odour and music upon dressing change (2004)
Journal Article
Kane, F. M., Brodie, E. E., Coull, A., Coyne, L., Howd, A., Milne, A., …Robbins, R. (2004). The analgesic effect of odour and music upon dressing change. British Journal of Nursing, 13(Sup4), S4-S12

Vascular wounds may require frequent dressing changes over a long period of time, often involving pain, which may not be adequately controlled with conventional analgesia. Complementary analgesia may be beneficial as an adjunctive therapy. This pilot... Read More about The analgesic effect of odour and music upon dressing change.
