Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on pain perception in Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) donors receiving Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), revealing that 92% of donors experienced pain, with 52% reporting moderate to severe discomfort.
- The majority of pain occurred in younger female donors and was predominantly located in the gluteal and lower back regions, often described as nagging but tolerable, with sleep being affected during the G-CSF administration period.
- The research emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing pain in donors despite being manageable, providing valuable insights for healthcare staff involved in donor care.
