A number of nonpharmacologic methods of pain control are used in pain management. These include cognitive–behavioral interventions (e.g., relaxation, distraction, imagery, and biofeedback), physical agents (e.g., heat and cold), electroanalgesia (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation [TENS]), and acupuncture.
