It is based on an integrative literature review so that it was possible to achieve the proposed end. Pain is not possible to be evaluated mechanically and it is singular, that is, it depends from person to person, in that sense the good communication between the caregiver and the patient must be assertive to the cared for. It is concluded that Integrative and Complementary Health Practices can contribute significantly to pain relief in this and other pathologies. The union between conventional treatments and complementary therapies proved to be solid and with positive results, the use of drugs is necessary, however the PICS guarantee a similar result and sometimes better than the medicated one.
