Brief Note on Pain and its Assessment Factors

Sharon Susan

According to conservative epidemiological studies, chronic pain in
childhood affects at least 5% of the population under 18 years of age.
In the last 20 years, the incidence of chronic pain in pediatrics has
also increased. Although the severity of chronic pain conditions
varies greatly, they generally affect children's mental health,
academic performance, and overall quality of life. The outcome of
chronic pain in children is affected by many factors, including
demographics, genetics, and school and family support. Pain can be
characterized as an undesirable, tangible, and enthusiastic
experience related to actual or potential tissue damage or related to
such damage.
