Child
Life and Developmental Services - Pain Management
Hospitalized children and adolescents have
pain not only from their illness or injury but from the medical
and surgical procedures they undergo during their hospital
stay. Child life specialists on the inpatient pediatric unit
assist patients with pain management techniques
that help reduce their pain and anxiety. These techniques
include deep breathing, self-relaxation and guided imagery.
The treatment room and play areas are also designed to promote
emotional healing and decrease stress and anxiety.
