Pain management in breast cancer patients can be applied pharmacological (therapy with drugs) and nonpharmacological (complementary therapy). The goal of this study is to determine whether non-pharmacological therapy may be employed to reduce pain in cancer patients. The type of research used is a literature review, where data from the same study is grouped based on the measured results. A series of keyword models are used to conduct literature searches using Google Scholar. Journal searches are limited from 2018 to 2024. From the search results obtained, the articles found were then checked for articles that could be accessed from 2018 to 2024, and 70 articles were found according to the research theme. After the selection stage of research articles, twenty articles were selected that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the research with an experimental study design. Based on the findings of the literature study, it was found that the types of non-pharmacological therapies that can be done to reduce pain in cancer patients such as Slow Stroke Back Massage Technique, Benson Relaxation, Virtual Reality Therapy, Acupressure, Murotal Therapy Al-Qur'an and Dhikr, Classical Masase, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Action, Five Finger Relaxation, Guided Imagery Relaxation with Lavender Aromatherapy, Respiratory Relaxation and SEFT Therapy, Combination of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and Guided Imagery, as well as Music and Hypnotherapy.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a common respiratory infection affecting all age groups, particularly the elderly, who are more susceptible due to comorbidities and age-related decline in immune function. This case report aims to evaluate the role of clinical pharmacy in the management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in a geriatric patient. A descriptive qualitative method was conducted through retrospective analysis of medical records, including clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, and patient outcomes. The pharmacological therapy included ceftriaxone and azithromycin as antibiotics, mucolytics, bronchodilators, antipyretics, gastrointestinal protection, and vitamin supplementation, with clinical pharmacy involvement in therapy optimization and monitoring. Non-pharmacological strategies involved oxygen therapy, semi-Fowler positioning, effective coughing techniques, and hydration support. The patient showed marked clinical improvement with increased SpO₂ from 95% to 98%, a reduction in respiratory rate from 30 to 22 breaths/minute, and symptom resolution by day four. This report highlights that the integration of clinical pharmacy interventions significantly contributes to effective and safer management of CAP in elderly patients
