This session describes the incidence, causes and effects of pain in infants, children and young people and the basic physiological mechanisms operating in both acute and chronic pain.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • List the incidence, causes and effects of acute pain in children
  • List the incidence, clinical presentations and effects of chronic pain in children
  • Describe basic nociceptive mechanisms and the influence of child development
  • List the differences between inflammatory and neuropathic pain
  • Describe the physiological basis for chronically maintained pain

Children's pain is often poorly managed, both in hospital settings and in the community, leading to unnecessary suffering and short-term and long-term complications.
