Ağrı, Uluslararası Ağrı Araştırmaları Birliği tarafından “vücudun belli bir bölgesinden kaynaklanan, doku harabiyetine bağlı olan veya olmayan bireyin geçmişteki deneyimleriyle ilgili istenmedik bir duysal, emosyonel ve hoş olmayan bir duyum ya da davranış şekli” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Ağrı için farmakolojik ve nonfarmakolojik tedavi yöntemleri bulunmaktadır. Nonfarmakolojik ağrı tedavi yöntemleri; ağrı eğitim programları, egzersiz tedavileri, transkutanöz elektrik stimülasyonu, kognitif-davranışsal terapiler, akupunktur, masaj teknikleri, sıcak-soğuk uygulamalar ve relaksasyon egzersizlerini içermektedir. Ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan bilişsel-davranışsal stratejiler; hipnozu, relaksasyon tekniklerini ve distraksiyonu içermektedir. Kahkaha yaklaşımı ise ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan distraksiyon tekniklerinden biridir. Çalışmalarda kahkahanın, romatizmal hastalıklar, diabetes mellitus, alerjik yanıtlar, bağışıklık sistemi, kardiyopulmoner rahatsızlıklar, kanserler, yaşlılıkla gelişen problemler ve ağrı üzerine iyileştirici etkileri incelenmiştir. Ağrı yönetiminde kullanılan non-farmakolojik tedavi yöntemlerinden biri de kahkaha terapisidir. Ancak ülkemizde literatüre göre kahkaha terapisinin ağrı yönetimindeki yeri ve önemini açıklayan yeterli çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle derlemenin amacı; ağrı ve kahkaha terapisi kavramları ile kahkaha terapisinin ağrı yönetiminde kullanımını ve ağrı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir.
