title: Pharmacologic strategies for managing pain in children.
abstract: Erroneous presumptions about children's reactions to pain have misguided professionals' management of this issue. Recent recognition and understanding of the pain experience in children have prompted research and clinical advances in treatment and care. Considerable study is still needed to further comprehend the difference between the perception and reaction to pain in the pediatric population.
