School-Based Pediatric Pain Management: A Systematic Review

Childhood pain can be chronic, common and debilitating and there remains a lack of sufficient subspecialty providers to address this need. A promising solution is training school providers in pediatric pain management strategies. This systematic review highlights studies to date regarding the efficacy of school-based pain management interventions. A comprehensive, replicable, and keyword-based (e.g., terms including mesh terms indicating school based [school, K-12, high school] and behavioral therapy [CBT, biofeedback, relaxation training, and education]) literature search was conducted on PubMed and yielded 2,643 studies.
