Background: The clinical picture of people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) is complex and involves a variety of potential causes of pain. This poses major challenges to patients and healthcare professionals alike in terms of diagnosis and management of the condition.

Material and methods: A selective literature search was performed to highlight the current state of research on pain management in EDS patients.
Results: Affected patients require multimodal pain management considering their individual needs, disease-specific features, and comorbidities.
Conclusion: Medical awareness and evidence need to be further improved to enhance the medical care situation of these patients with complex needs.
