Abstract :
Pain means an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Acute pain signals a specific nociceptive event and is self-limited. Chronic pain has been defined as pain that lasts longer than 6 months and continues beyond the normal time expected for resolution of the problem or recurs for other reasons. Chronic pain has a significant adverse impact on the health-related quality of life of children, resulting in significantly worse physical, psychological and social functioning and leads to lower life satisfaction in childhood (1).
