Over the last decades there has been an almost exponential increase in pediatric pain research, both clinical and pre-clinical studies, aiming at improving pain management for children in all ages. In many areas there is now enough evidence on how to minimize pain and the problem is low grades of clinical implementation. Children don’t get the pain alleviation they are entitled to, due to lack of resources, lack of guidelines or lack of interest. In other areas we still need to find the best methods for the specific population and the specific situation and pain type. This lecture will give some examples of recent studies on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions and bring forward the latest evidence. The objective is to inspire the audience to better uptake of the latest knowledge in the clinical work, and also to start collaborative research in areas where better evidence is needed.
