The Pediatric Pain Service works with children from birth to adolescence to help ease their pain. As part of a larger interdisciplinary team at the IWK Health Centre, members provide acute and chronic pain consultation and treatment/management options.
Residents and medical students receive exceptional learning opportunities with the Pediatric Pain Service – one of only three such clinical and research programs in Canada. The pediatric pain team often receives requests for consultation and clinical advice from hospitals and health centres across Canada and the United States.
Advances in treating and managing pediatric pain relate directly to a growing national and international commitment to research. Many of our faculty members are at the forefront of that research. To learn more, visit the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research.
