Recent concepts in understanding a child's pain

KT Mahan and DC Strelecky
Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, Philadelphia 19107.

The management of pain in children is a complex process that has significant differences from adult pain management. The authors describe the myth of children's lack of pain and how that myth has resulted in frequent undermedication of children's pain. The authors describe the physical and psychological aspects of pain. Assessment techniques for more accurately determining pain in children are also described. The authors conclude with a description of pharmacologic aspects of pediatric pain management.
