Pain Management

Why Choose Us?

The Division of Pain Management at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is one of a small number of such programs in the United States, and the only pediatric pain program within 300 miles.

We have organized the program to provide the best possible pain care for infants, children, and young adults.

Acute Pain Service

The acute pain service is available to children in Cincinnati Children's who have medical or surgical conditions that hurt. You can ask your pediatrician or surgeon if involving our team would be helpful. We have helped the hospital organize a better approach to pain care for all children, so even if you do not see us in person, our touch will be there.

Chronic Pain Service

For children and young adults who have long-standing pain problems, we have a chronic pain clinic just for them. The Division of Pain Management at Cincinnati Children's has designed a multidisciplinary clinic to help treat pain from a variety of causes. Each patient sees a psychologist, pain physician, advanced practice nurse, and physical therapist. Each is specially trained and experienced in working with children who have painful conditions.

Hospice Care

For children who suffer from terminal illnesses or conditions, the Pain Management team works closely with the StarShine Hospice program. Even when things look their worst, we never give up on a child or their family. We work with them to give comfort and to help provide them the best quality of life in the child's remaining time.
