Advances over the past two decades have enabled physicians to
revolutionize the manner in which they can assess and manage
children's pain. Thirty years ago it was thought that young
children did not experience pain and therefore it was not necessary
to treat it. Today professionals from a variety of disciplines have
contributed data that have revolutionized medical perspectives.
Technological advances now enable doctors to treat acute pain in
fetuses, premature neonates, infants, toddlers, children, and
adolescents with increasing precision and efficacy. Research
highlighting the context of chronic pain has moved them away from a
mind-body dichotomy and toward an integrated, holistic perspective
that leads to substantial improvement in children's adaptive
functioning as well as subjective discomfort.
This book covers these topics and is intended for anyone who
provides medical care to children. Each chapter provides an
overview of the problem, followed by a "hands on" description of
relevant assessment and intervention strategies. The role of the
primary care practitioner is highlighted, both as a front-line
resource as well as a consumer of specialized pediatric pain
treatment services. Each chapter ends with a summary and specific
bullet points highlighting the most central elements, making for
quick and easy reference.
