    Author: Cameron CA, Sawatzky JA.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2008 Apr; 17(2):85-91; quiz 92. PubMed ID: 18517167.
    Abstract:
    Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the digestive tract that tends to plague its victims with uncontrolled pain, despite numerous pharmacologic interventions. Approximately 70% of affected individuals require surgery during their disease trajectory, and management of both their chronic and acute pain can be a challenge for nurses. The many factors that contribute to these pain management challenges are described, and recommendations for nursing interventions are offered.
