| | 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. | | | Somatic pain may be elicited when the child tenses his or her muscles due to fear of the examination. |

| | As the psychological contribution to pain varies enormously from patient to patient this approach to helping chronic pain patients has to be individualized. | | | Indeed in many chronic pain conditions (that lack any really effective therapy), the reduction of pain and the resulting suffering can only be effected by modulating the psychological aspects of pain. | | | Ideally the treatment of chronic pain would be to prescribe effective pain medications. |
