[Growing pains in children: myth or reality?].
"Growing pains" are a frequent problem in paediatric practice. Over the last years, their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have changed. Other syndromes than those well-known by paediatricians are to be taken in consideration. Current treatment consists in reassurance of children and their family reactivation of patients (which means to take up a normal physical activity) and treatment of painful crisis as well as complementary therapies.
