Chronic pain in children can manifest as abdominal, migraine, or facial pain. It also stems from a wide variety of disorders such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and childhood cancers. No matter what type of chronic pain the child suffers with, a parent must be armed with an understanding of how a child’s expression and experience of pain differs from an adult’s. Trained in pediatric anesthesia and intensive care at Boston Children’s Hospital, Dr. Elliot Krane has devoted his entire professional life to refining and innovating techniques, strategies, and therapies to relieve the suffering of children with pain. In his book, Relieve Your Child’s Chronic Pain, parents will find the information and tools they need to get the very best care for their child. It will help you.
