title: [Physical pain and suffering in the child].
abstract: Since about ten years ago there has been a great interest in the treatment of pediatric pain, previously neglected in medical practice. A review of procedures of pain assessment is made: self-assessment, behavioural analysis and biological measurements. The main therapeutic procedures are also reviewed (drugs, physical agents and psychological treatment), emphasizing the interest of prophylaxis and parental participation in children's pain treatment.
