Musculoskeletal Pain in Children course
This session explains how to identify, assess and manage chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions in children.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- List the most important types of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSKP) in children
- List the important red flags that indicate the need for investigation or referral to specialist teams
- Describe diagnostic criteria for childhood complex regional pain syndrome
- Describe the principles of assessment of CMSKP in children
- Identify the main elements of management of CMSKP in children
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a common feature of childhood, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all the pains that are reported.
