description This literature review focuses on managing pain syndrome in children. Good clinical practice is considered taking into account the type of pain (nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic), as well as the child’s age, cognitive development, and sociocultural context. Special attention is given to the cause and location of pain, along with assessing its severity and psychological impact. The review discusses two methods for evaluating the severity of pediatric pain: self-reporting and behavioral observation scales for children who cannot self-report. The primary goal of pain management is to use treatments that effectively reduce pain while minimizing side effects. This involves the timely administration of analgesics and regular assessment of pain throughout the treatment process. The text discusses the approach to treating mild pain with acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as addressing moderate to severe pain with opioids. Additionally, it includes an evaluation of non-drug methods for pain management, which encompasses physical, behavioral, and cognitive interventions.
