Abstract

Preliminary considerations regarding the development of pediatric programs for acute and chronic pain management are discussed. Adult clinics serve as models for pediatric pain programs, although there are substantial differences in the nature of adult and pediatric pain syndromes. Recommendations are given for the design of a pediatric pain program, and experience from our program is outlined.
