Use of Sesame Oil in Pain Management: Literature Review

Öz

Despite the developments in the health field, pain is still seen as a universal problem worldwide. Effective pain management is essential in shortening the recovery period of the individual, reducing treatment costs, preventing the formation of chronic pain, and increasing the quality of life. In current guidelines, it is mentioned that non-pharmacological methods can be used in addition to pharmacological treatment in pain management. Today, it is known that aromatherapy has an important place among complementary and holistic therapy methods. It is stated that sesame oil, which is one of the aromatherapy oils, has essential effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. However, it has been emphasized that the evidence on the clinical effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in pain management is insufficient in current pain guidelines and that further studies using a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are needed. In this context, there is a need to increase studies that can provide evidence to evaluate the applicability of sesame oil, which is one of the aromatherapy oils, in addition to pharmacological treatment in interventions for pain management.
