Abstract: Many children and adolescents will experience pain that is recurrent or chronic in nature, and the provision of pain care presents a challenge to many pediatricians. Pediatric pain care for patients and families who live at a distance from specialist care add another dimension to these challenges. The overall approach to pain management is the same for patients and families who live a distance from their care provider as those who live close to their care provider, but with some practical differences. This chapter reviews general approaches to pediatric pain management with attention to adapting these approaches for remote patients and families, and also highlights distance-specifi c approaches. Distance resources for practitioners are also reviewed.
