Summary
Electronic health records (EHR) facilitate pain management research. This review synthesizes studies using EHR data to guide future clinical pain management research.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Clinical Research
- Pain Management
Background:
- Electronic health record (EHR) systems enable data utilization for quality indicator development and surveillance.
- Pain management is a key area benefiting from EHR data analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct an integrative review of pain management research utilizing EHR data.
- To synthesize assessments, interventions, outcomes, clinical implications, data sources, sample characteristics, and methods in EHR-based pain management studies.
Main Methods:
- An integrative literature review was performed using Cooper's framework.
- Searched PubMed, Scopus, and Cinahl databases.
- Analyzed 28 eligible articles from an initial pool of 1,061 records.
Main Results:
- Identified scientific research studies exploring pain management through EHR data.
- Synthesized key elements of pain management research within the EHR context.
Conclusions:
- This review provides a critical contribution to developing future research proposals and methods in EHR-based pain management.
- Offers guidance for new research in clinical pain management utilizing EHR data over the past decade.

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
