| | APS - Pediatric Chronic Pain |
| | Chronic pain in children is the result of a dynamic integration of biological processes, psychological factors, and sociocultural context considered within a developmental trajectory. | | | Chronic pain can be differentiated from acute pain in that acute pain signals a specific nociceptive event and is self-limited. | | | Children with chronic pain should have access to appropriate services, and children with complex or refractory chronic pain should be referred directly to pediatric pain programs when possible. |

| | Sleep problems: "Unrefreshing sleep" and rest is a hallmark of CFS, and insomnia is also common, especially in the chronic phase. | | | Some nutritionists believe that CFS is caused by an overgrowth of yeast, known as "candidiasis", but treatment of candidiasis has not helped all CFS patients. | | | Facilitation is a common result of a spinal subluxation, where the joints of the neck become 'locked', and as such, the muscles of the spinal column cannot move the joints. |
