Abstract:
Pain assessment in children is vital in clinical practice. Accurate evaluation of pain intensity in children is the prerequisite for implementing effective analgesic interventions, it is necessary to chose age-specific assessment tools tailored to developmental stages of children. The degrees of patin reported by children themselves are the gold standard for evaluation, and self-assessment should be prioritized when feasible. In addition, behavioral and physiological assessments also show good reliability and validity. This review summarizes current domestic and international researches on pediatric pain assessment tools and their clinical applications, aiming to provide reference for optimizing pain evaluation in pediatric practice.
