We conducted a literature review of the different proposed etiologies of pediatric chest pain, as well as the evidence base supporting current approaches. Among the non-cardiac causes of chest pain in children, musculoskeletal causes are reported to be the most prevalent. This includes precordial catch syndrome, Tietze's syndrome, and costochondritis. However, these origins of musculoskeletal chest pain were described historically, and their labels are likely applied too broadly. It is important that providers be able to differentiate between benign chest pain that truly has a musculoskeletal origin and that which lacks an identifiable cause. To determine the cause of chest pain, providers should take a detailed history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and any additional indicated laboratory tests. Musculoskeletal chest pain should only be diagnosed if there is an objective finding of reproducible tenderness during the physical examination or if there is a plausible history. If no cause can be identified, the chest pain may be linked to somatization. As a result, these patients may benefit from psychiatric evaluation and mindfulness-based interventions. To better inform clinical care, providers should be aware of these emerging management approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":94166,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & neonatal pain","volume":"7 1","pages":"e70003"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933443/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that applying agnostic machine learning approaches to neonatal electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis may reveal features of the infant response to acute pain. EEG was recorded from 30 neonates undergoing acutely painful procedures (18 males, 34.0-41.7 weeks gestation at birth). EEG recordings were randomly assigned to training (<i>n</i> = 20) and testing (<i>n</i> = 10) datasets. Functional connectivity measures were calculated for each infant before and after pain-inducing procedures. A grid search including five machine learning models was conducted on the training dataset, and each model was evaluated using leave-one-subject-out cross-validation. An optimal model, having the highest F-1 score, was obtained and evaluated on the independent testing dataset. A gradient boosting model with 12 features showed optimal performance, with 90% area under the receiver operating characteristic curve suggesting high specificity (0.90) and precision (0.90). The five highest ranked features corresponded to EEG electrode pairs: T7-P4, Fz-CP5, FC1-TP10, CP6-Cz, and Fz-F3, suggesting involvement of the contralateral temporal gyrus, opercular cortex, thalamus, and bilateral insula in infant pain processing.

The objective of the current study is to determine if the implementation of an ERAS protocol would improve patient outcomes in the ambulatory pediatric urologic population. A retrospective analysis was performed on pediatric patients who underwent urologic procedures (circumcision, orchiopexy, hypospadias correction, and urethroplasty) in the ambulatory surgical setting affiliated with a tertiary pediatric hospital. Outcomes measured include opioid use, home pain control, time in recovery, need for rescue pain medications, and adverse events between pediatric patients receiving standard of care (<i>n</i> = 30) and pediatric patients receiving the ERAS protocol (<i>n</i> = 29). The application of the ERAS pathway led to significantly increased opioid-free care (7% vs. 43%, <i>p</i> < 0.01). There was a reduction in the cost of care, a trend toward reduced opioid use, a trend toward reduced PACU stays for ERAS patients, and families of ERAS patients reported a 100% rate of well-controlled pain at home. These changes occurred without any increased need for rescue pain medications (16% vs. 13%, <i>p</i> = 1) or any change in adverse events (0% vs. 0%, <i>p</i> = 1.0). Postoperative pain measures are improved in pediatric patients receiving the ERAS protocol in an ambulatory surgery setting when compared to patients receiving the standard of care, without an increased risk of adverse events or the need for rescue analgesia.

It can, however, be challenging to ensure that pain management is in the child's best interest due to a myriad of reasons. One of these relates to the specific communicative challenges that exist in this population, that might arise because of the child's level of development, including receptive and expressive communication skills, the particular illness and treatment (e.g., tracheotomy), distress, and/or disabilities. It is therefore unsurprising that children and adolescents are regarded as vulnerable groups in pediatric healthcare. The importance of using person-centred care has been emphasized in healthcare to facilitate the voices of children and young people and as a way in which their views can be respected. The use of person-centred care promotes the child and adolescent's narratives and emphasizes the use of shared decision-making to be the primary source of pain management decisions.1 This approach is also in line with the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child,2 and specifically with Article 24 that focusses on health. Other articles of this convention also apply. For example, Article 12 highlights respect for children's views and allows them the opportunity to give their opinions freely, specifically about issues that directly affect them. In addition, Article 13 emphasizes children's right to share their thoughts freely in terms of what they learn, think, and feel and that this can be done by talking, drawing, or writing. The nexus between these two articles and person-centred care is thus clear. Likewise, Article 17, which focusses on access to information from the Internet, radio, television, newspapers, books, etcetera, is equally relevant. Article 17 also urges adults (in this case healthcare providers) to ensure that the information provided to children is not harmful and that it is in a language format that all children can understand. Previous research has demonstrated that parent's assessments of pain symptoms in children and adolescents differ from the child's and adolescent's own assessment.3 Self-reports of the evaluation of pain management should be the first choice in pediatric healthcare. However, children's rights, as described above, are not always prioritized, and healthcare provider's own measurements often guide the decision-making around children and adolescents´ pain management.4 This means that it is necessary to develop and implement new strategies that optimize shared decision-making in pediatric healthcare. In an attempt to allow children and adolescents to take on a greater role in their own pain management, new tools and interventions are required to support acute and chronic pain measurement and treatment. This special issue includes five papers that showcase and expand knowledge about children's rights in pain management.

The concept of pain is regarded as one of the most complex human stressors due to its subjective and personal nature and the influences of multiple internal and external factors. Due to the complexity of this disorder, it remains concerning how children with ASD communicate their pain and how observers (i.e., parents, carers, and health care practitioners) respond to these children's pain communication. This scoping review aimed to identify how children with ASD communicate or express their pain. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria for further data extraction. Through reflexive thematic analysis, two main themes were identified: verbal and nonverbal responses used by children with ASD to communicate their pain that could influence pain assessment and management strategies. This review highlighted that children with ASD utilized various verbal and nonverbal methods to communicate their pain experiences and that these methods differed compared to children without disabilities. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the importance of holistic pain assessment strategies as well as additional pictorial support for children with ASD. This review recommends that future research should focus on understanding how the inclusion of different stakeholders in pain assessment for children with ASD, can contribute to holistic pain assessment.","PeriodicalId":94166,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric & neonatal pain","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135856867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
