title: A guide to diagnoses, indications, and contraindications for interventions in pediatric chronic pain.
abstract: Although the painful conditions in children and young adults do not involve a broad spectrum of disorders, the treatment itself may pose a challenge. Taking care of psychosocial factors is equally important as taking care of physical aspects. Our simple suggestion is to start with basics and advance to more complex treatments if needed. Please review Figure 2 for suggested treatment algorithms.
