  • To address challenges in pharmacologic pain management and the need for non-pharmacologic intervention research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on pediatric pain assessment and management.
  • Analysis of the role of nurse researchers in the field.
  • Identification of barriers to effective pain relief in children.

Main Results:

  • Numerous pediatric pain assessment tools exist but require wider implementation.
  • Pharmacologic pain management is hindered by misconceptions and information overload.
  • Non-pharmacologic pain relief methods, though traditionally used by nurses, lack sufficient research.

Conclusions:

  • Continued research is essential for advancing the diagnosis and management of pediatric pain.
  • Wider adoption of validated pain assessment tools is recommended.
  • Further investigation into both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions is needed to optimize pain relief for children.
