Our chronic pain and headache patients are generally children, adolescents, or teenagers who are having a hard time coping with their pain and may feel their lives are out of control due to the effects of chronic pain. We work with our patients, families and their schools to develop a comprehensive treatment plan focused on getting them back to school and their activities.
During a hospitalization, 93% of children will experience pain. For this reason, our team is available to see patients with acute pain in the hospital. Other inpatient services include improving sedation medication regimens, weaning sedation medications, palliative sedation and chronic pain management.
