(1) Objective: To review the existing evidence on pain education in patients with pain derived from an oncological process. (2) Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the databases Pubmed, Web of Science, PEDro, and Scopus. The selected studies had to incorporate instruction about the neurophysiology of pain into their educational program. The target population was cancer patients who had suffered pain for at least one month. The methodological quality of the articles collected was assessed using the PEDro scale. (3) Results: Some 698 studies were initially identified, of which 12 were included in this review. Four different models of pain education programs were found in the studies’ interventions. Pain intensity, pain experience, quality of life, pain tolerance, and catastrophism were the variables that appeared most frequently. (4) Conclusions: This review demonstrates that pain education in patients with cancer pain may produce effects such as decreased pain intensity and catastrophism. Knowledge about pain also seems to increase. However, no benefit was reported for patients’ overall quality of life. Therefore, more research is needed to clarify the effects of these interventions on the oncology population.
(1) 目的：系统回顾关于肿瘤性疼痛患者疼痛教育的现有证据。(2) 方法：通过PubMed、Web of Science、PEDro和Scopus数据库进行系统性文献综述。纳入研究需在其教育方案中包含疼痛神经生理学知识教学。目标人群为持续疼痛至少一个月的癌症患者。采用PEDro量表对纳入文献的方法学质量进行评估。(3) 结果：初步检索到698项研究，最终纳入12项。研究发现干预措施中存在四种不同的疼痛教育模式。疼痛强度、疼痛体验、生活质量、疼痛耐受性和灾难化思维是最常出现的评估变量。(4) 结论：本综述表明，针对癌痛患者的疼痛教育可能产生降低疼痛强度和缓解灾难化思维等效果。患者对疼痛的认知水平也有所提升。然而，研究未发现其对患者整体生活质量产生显著改善。因此，需要进一步研究以明确此类干预措施对肿瘤人群的影响。
