Abstract
Chronic pain affects one in four children and adolescents (1–3) and has been declared a global health priority (4) because of its economic burden to society (5) and substantial impact on child
and family (6). Psychological treatments have been found to be effective in reducing pain intensity and disability (7, 8), however, there is considerable variability in treatment response, such that some children and adolescents benefit while others do not and more research has been called for in this area. This editorial highlights the broad diversity of research performed across the Pediatric Pain section, including a summary of pediatric chronic pain management modalities, from bench to bedside, and an intersect of the biopsychosocial aspects of pain. It includes five manuscripts: three original studies, one brief research report and one mini review.
