Objective To explore the current situation of postoperative pain in patients with brain tumors undergoing craniotomy and the application effect of standardized pain care processes. Methods 48 patients with brain tumors undergoing craniotomy admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and their pain status was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment. And they were divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method, with 24 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received standardized pain care process intervention. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results Among the 48 patients, the proportion of severe pain patients was as high as 37.50%. However, after using standardized pain care procedures, the observation group showed better pain scores and postoperative stress response indicators than the control group, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with brain tumors may experience varying degrees of pain after craniotomy. The use of standardized pain care procedures can effectively improve the patients pain level and alleviate postoperative stress reactions.
