A non-pharmacological approach to angina [In Process Citation]

Journal/Book: Prof Nurse. 1998; 13: 583-6.

Abstract: Chronic angina is a debilitating condition that can severely limit physical activity and lead to depression. Patients whose angina is not susceptible to acute surgical or pharmacological interventions may be offered no further palliative solutions. Non-pharmacological interventions such as TENS, spinal cord stimulation, music therapy, relaxation and humour warrant further research and consideration as adjuvant therapies.
