Children with chronic pain
   Aged 5–23 ys: 62 % reported continuing pain
   Females were significantly more likely to report
    continuing pain, use of health care, medication
    and non-drug methods of pain control
   Continuing pain associated psychosocial
    factors: females 76 %, males 21 %
   Pain episodes increased with age

Painful procedures can be harmful

   When babies’ pain was high, mean AOPP and TH blood
    levels increased significantly
   Even common routine procedures can be potentially
    harmful for the newborn if they provoke a high level of pain

Pain in Neonates: Consequences

   Altered pain sensitivity (may last into adolescence)

   Permanent neuroanatomic and behavioral abnormalities

   Emotional, behavioral, and learning disabilities

   Altered pain sensitivity can be ameliorated with effective

    pain relief

Out-of-hospital pain

   Acute pain: 37%, Intense to severe: 67%

   Trauma associated with acute pain: OR 818

   Analgesia: 84% experienced some pain relief

   On arrival at hospital 67% still in pain

A very big problem…ED

   Admission: 1/10 severe pain , 1/4 severe distress
   4/10 received analgesics in ED
   1/5 worsening of pain, 1/4 pain remained the same
   1/10 prescription for analgesics at discharge.
   1 week after discharge: 1/20 pain; 1/3 distress

    Physical restraint of struggling children during painful
       procedures, ‘‘brutacaine’’, should no longer be an
               acceptable part of modern practice

Mommy and daddy
   Parents are actually more likely to
    undermedicate than overmedicate
   Parents tend to withhold pain medication,
    even if they assess their child as having pain
   Parents may not recall analgesia instructions
    (or any instructions)
   Fathers, more often than mothers, seem to
    have misleading perceptions of the nature
    and adverse effects of children’s analgesics

Paediatric pain assessment at the ED

   Paediatric pain management which may need to be based upon
    the children’s or parent’s assessment rather than that of the
    nurse

Pediatric therapy

   Few well-designed RCT: case reports, case series
          Therapy extrapolated from adult data

   Combined pharmacological regimens
   Slow titration to minimize side effects.
   Anticipatory guidance regarding side effects
   Trade-off between pain control/side effects.

Interdisciplinary Team

 Better physical and psychological functioning.
 Return to “normal” activity, oppioids consuption,
  medical attention.
 Negative outcome by not providing full integrated
  interdisciplinary pain care

We have a PROBLEM !!!

   A responsibility of physicians who care for children is
    eliminating pain and suffering when possible.
   Available tools: to evaluate and treat acute pain in
    children using low-cost and safe methods.
   A substantial percentage of children have been
    undertreated
   It’s an adult responsibility to help children with pain

Is not a children responsibility to convince adults to
  give them analgesics whenever they need them….

Psychological therapy

   Relaxation, biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy
    (distraction, imagery, transformation), exercise
    therapy.
   NNT 2.3: headache, recurrent abdominal pain, sickle

   CRPS-I: T°/EMG biofeedback + exercise therapy
   Experienced psychological and medical personnel

Pain clinicians and GPs

   Lack of adequate training and resources available to pain
    clinicians and GPs for managing chronic pain in children
   Setting up chronic pain programs in existing pediatric
    centers

Venipuncture and IV cannula insertions

   Most common sources of pain in hospitalized children.
   IV cannula: second most common cause of the worst pain
    experienced during hospitalization (second only to pain relatedto the
    patient’s underlying disease).
   In the absence of premedication or psychological interventions, high
    levels of distress during venipuncture were reported in 50% of the
    children.
   High levels of distress: 83% 2–6 ys, 51% 7–12 ys, 28% adolescents
   Needle phobia: a true medical condition present in up to 10% of the
    population (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

Much pain, low gain…..

       Preterm infants given fentanyl in addition to
        nitrous oxide had significantly lower hormonal
        responses to surgery for ligation of the patent
        ductus arteriosus than did infants who did not
        receive fentanyl.
       Neonates who received high-dose sufentanil
        compared with halothane-morphine had
        improved survival rates after cardiac surgery.

Consigning ‘‘BRUTACAINE’’ to history

   Half of UK EDs use modern
    pharmacological methods of
    procedural pain control
   There is still considerable
    potential to improve the
    management of pain in children.

     Physical restraint of struggling children during painful
        procedures, ‘‘brutacaine’’, should no longer be an
                acceptable part of modern practice

Pediatric vs adult pain control

Cause of pain
 Acute leukaemia or a brain tumour.

 Pain mainly therapy-associated

 75% of adult cancer patients experiencing pain
  suffer from carcinoma.
 Adult pain is mainly due to progressive tumour
  growth (15% antineoplastic therapy pain)
