Pain management in children.
Pain management in children has only recently been described in medical and nursing literature. The lingering myth that children do not experience pain, combined with difficulties in assessing pain, hamper pain management. Various assessment tools for pediatric pain exist. Options for management include blocks, opioids, topical anesthetics, and nonpharmacological techniques.
