Cincinnati Children's Pain Management Center

What Is Pain Management?

If your child is hurting, our Pain Management Center can help. We use a variety of approaches to relieve your child’s pain. We work to manage the pain children may experience in the acute setting (after an injury or during an illness) and in the chronic setting (e.g., recurrent abdominal pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, back pain). The most effective approach to pain in children is a multidisciplinary one: several practitioners work together to best meet your child’s needs. Patients in our outpatient clinic see a physician, a psychologist, a physical therapist and a pain nurse. Each healthcare worker has special training and experience in caring for children in pain and helping the children’s families.

The Functional Independence Restoration Program is also part of the Pain Management Center. which is one of the country’s only comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation programs for children whose severe, chronic pain is preventing them from enjoying a good quality of life. The functional independence restoration approach helps patients learn more about their condition, develop coping skills, recondition their bodies and transition back into their lives.
