Abstract: Children experience severe pain, and many suffer from persistent pain. Because of their different maturation pathways than adults, babies and youngsters may be more vulnerable to chronic pain sensitivities. Acute and chronic pain must be addressed in order to alleviate children's suffering and avoid possible pain problems. In accordance with a biopsychosis viewpoint, full and complementary (CAM) treatment should be considered in the management of acute and chronic child pain. Although the data on paediatric pain is limited, hypnosis, acupuncture, and music therapy are the most effective therapies. The therapeutic benefits of yoga, massages, humour therapy, and the usage of physiologically based therapies are also demonstrated.
