Pediatric Pain Management Program - Nemours Children's Hospital

Discover how Nemours Children's Hospital's Pediatric Pain Management Program is transforming lives. Led by one of the world's top pain specialists, board-certified in pediatric anesthesiology and pain management, our multidisciplinary team provides a comprehensive approach to pain management, combining physical, occupational, and behavioral therapies.

Nemours Children's Hospital (NCH) offers an integrated pediatric pain management program dedicated to treating acute (temporary) and chronic (ongoing) pain in children and teens. Our program is one of only a handful in the United States that also provides healing for the entire family. We focus on overall wellness with therapies that meet your child's physical, mental, and emotional needs in both an outpatient clinic and inpatient hospital setting. Our inpatient day-stay program provides more intensive care for children who don't respond to traditional outpatient treatment.
