World without Pain

Pediatric chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than six months in children and adolescents. These children feel pain even in the smallest actions, and this heavy burden impacts both the patients and their families’ lives.

To relieve symptoms and help to ease their pain, pediatricians conduct relaxation exercises which complement the use of painkillers. These exercises teach children to shift the focus of their pain and feel better afterwards. 

But this comes with a problem: children and their caregivers have to be physically in the doctor’s office and rely on these scheduled appointments, which more often than not don’t match their pain crisis outbursts.
