Description

Within the hospital setting it is seen how chronic pain affects people of all ages. At hospital A, adult clients rate their chronic pain on a scale of 0-10, voice aggravating and alleviating factors and medications are provided based upon that scale. Unfortunately, pain in the pediatric setting is not as easy to assess and treat. Chronic pain substantially affects a number of children and adolescents and can lead to a diminished quality of life. Addressing this challenge requires a holistic approach that combines pharmacological treatments with non-pharmacological treatments to alleviate pain and enhance daily living.
