Background: Pain is main issue after burn. Medication do not relief pain in burn patients completely. Thus, use of Non-pharmacologic interventions such as Muscle relaxation andmental imagery could decrease pain. Objective:This research examined efficacy of pain management strategies, including Benson muscle relaxation and mental imagery in order to reduce pain in patients with second-degree burn. Method: This study was a clinical trial on 135 patients with burn that divided in two test groups and a control group by available method. Burn pain severity, in the first and second day, before and after dressing without any intervention in control group measured. After discharge, patients in the control group, to a group of men, relaxation techniques and another group of men, imaging techniques taught and measured pain intensity. Then pain mean all three groups compared. Results: There wasnt significant difference between mean of pain severity at first day before and after dressing with mean of pain severity before dressing at second day (P>0.05). There was significant difference between mean of pain severity before and after dressing at second day. There was no significant difference between mean of pain severity in two groups. Conclusion: Both technics resulted in decrease of pain severity in burn patients but mental imagery is more effective.[Zakeri-MoghadamMNJIRM 2016; 7(4):17-21]
