The Feasibility of using Snoezelen within a Palliative care day setting: A Randomized Controlled Trial investigating the potential.

Sensory Stimulation (Snoezelen) Versus Relaxation (English)

The sensory environment (Snoezelen) has been advocated by those working in the field of learning disabilities and mental health as a strategy to induce relaxation. The purpose of the current study was to explore this potential within the field of pain management where the use of relaxation techniques is often employed as a strategy for the management of chronic pain. Thus the current study was designed in order to determine the use of the sensory environment compared against a traditional relaxation programme used within a District General hospital pain clinic.
