title: [Chronic pain in children].
abstract: Chronic pain affects 10 to 20% of children and teenagers. Apart from the physical consequences, it leads to psychological and social difficulties. These notions, still not well known, are often overlooked. It is essential to raise the awareness of professionals in order to identify these young patients as early as possible and offer them adapted multimodal treatment. The main aim is to develop their autonomy to enable them to gain better understanding of this pain and to treat the cause when it can be identified.
