 Pediatric pain management involves understanding how children express and cope with pain differently from adults. Children younger than four years old are unable to communicate their pain verbally, so it is important to observe them carefully and look out for signs of distress. At the age of four to five years, children begin to understand basic concepts related to pain, but still need help describing their feelings. By the age of seven to nine years, children can use words to explain their pain and can also use visual analog scales to measure their pain levels. Older children can also use self-dreport measures to assess their pain. Pediatric pain management should involve a multidisciplinary approach involving parents, healthcare professionals and other caregivers.
