This article is a report of our experience with an interdisciplinary pain service in a large tertiary care pediatric hospital. During the first 2 years of operation, we received 869 consultations and referrals from more than 19 hospital divisions. Postoperative pain was the most frequent reason for consultation (56% of patients). Patients with pain related to cancer and sickle cell disease comprised 25% of the consultations. The remaining patients had a wide variety of primary diagnoses and causes of pain. We calculated the time spent by pain service physicians in direct patient care. The majority (63%) of physician time was spent with a small number of patients (17%). Most of these patients had pain that was unrelated to surgery, cancer, or sickle cell disease, and many posed dilemmas in diagnosis and treatment. Physician time was correlated directly to the use of psychologic and physical therapies for the pain, involving multiple team members. This experience supports the demand for an interdisciplinary pain service in a tertiary care children's hospital. A significant amount of physician time is necessary to provide patient care and to maintain a team approach, however, and pediatricians and other health care professionals who aim to implement such services should be cognizant of the time required.
