This professional guideline considers the management of chronic pain in children through physical, psychological, and pharmacological approaches. The World Health Organization brings together evidence on benefits, harms, acceptability, feasibility, and costs, placing treatment within an approach that considers the child’s wider circumstances and needs.
Written for clinicians, service planners, and other health professionals, the book sets out guiding principles, best practices, and recommendations alongside explanations of the evidence behind them. Further sections address research gaps, implementation, dissemination, and updating. The original 2020 publication includes its glossary, references, contributor information, and links to the separate evidence annexes.
