Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Common pain assessment approaches such as self-evaluation and observation scales are inappropriate for children as they require patients to have reasonable communication ability. Subjective, inconsistent, and discontinuous pain assessment in children may reduce therapeutic effectiveness and thus affect their later life.
