Assessment and treatment of pain in children

Saowarat Snidvongs et al. Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2008 Apr.

Abstract

Treating acute pain in the paediatric population poses challenges which include the lack of high levels of evidence and a universal pain measuring tool, contributing to the undertreatment of pain. A multimodal approach of topical and systemic analgesia, comfort measures and parental involvement remains the mainstay of pain management.
