“…Mobile pain apps may be useful to make people more engaged regarding communication about their pain and to improve the connection with HCP, as recently suggested by a study performed in Canada showing a potential high engagement of users, especially men when considering longevity (number of days between first and last episodes; Rahman et al, ). However, while multimedia education about medications is expected to be more effective than no education in improving knowledge and skill acquisition, it must most likely be considered as an adjunct to usual care rather than a replacement for written education or education by a health professional (Ciciriello et al, ).…”

Background and Objective Self‐medication is associated with an important utilization of Over‐The‐Counter (OTC) analgesics. The medical outcome resulting from therapeutic options bypassing the physician prescription is a major issue. In that context, pharmacists are expected to play a crucial role. The main objective of this review was to analyse the state‐of‐the art of pharmacists' role in pain management self‐medication. Databases and Data Treatment An expert multidisciplinary group dedicated to self‐medication in pain was established. Selection of publications was performed from PubMedand EMBASE databases which was based on the use of “pain” and/or “self‐medication” and/or “self‐care” and/or “analgesics” and/or “painkillers” keywords, restricted to the past 10 years. Results A total of 480 papers were identified, 49 of which papers were considered relevant and finally kept for final discussion, on OTC pain management and pharmacist's role. Literature analysis demonstrates that OTC analgesics are generally safe when appropriately used. Risks associated with misuse or inappropriateness depend on patients’ vulnerability (elderly, pregnancy) or behaviour. Social cognitive theory‐based intervention and multimedia applications improve self‐medication but do not replace health care professional advice Pharmacists’ interventions may improve the benefits and safety of OTC analgesic medication, with a better management of pain. Conclusions Considering the heterogeneity of patients’ knowledge and behaviour reported worldwide, inappropriate use of OTC pain medication should not be underestimated. Community pharmacists are ideally placed to guide self‐medication or recommend a medical advice when needed. Embedding pharmacists in primary care pain management is essential and pharmacist‐led medication coupled with an appropriate training of pharmacy staffs should be encouraged. Significance Analgesics are widely used without prescription, all over the world. They represent the largest market of OTC drugs, with an overall benefit/risk ratio favourable when appropriately used. Because of potential individual risks associated to the ailment or to the patient's behaviour, pharmacists’ interventions have proven to optimize analgesic self‐medication, provided that pharmacy staffs are both available and more specifically trained. In the future, in pain management, especially self‐medication, pharmacists should play an increasing role and should be included in educational programmes and pain management guidelines.

“…In a meta‐analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials, instruments and technologies differed, but researchers found small effect sizes and equivocal effect sizes when satisfaction was studied 13 . In a systematic review of multimedia educational interventions to inform consumers about over‐the‐counter medications, there were no differences in outcomes based on education interventions used 14 . Finally, in a systematic review that focused on video‐assisted education, some of which were a practice presentation format similar to VOIPP, not all were effective in achieving clinical outcomes 15 .…”
