Pain in infants, children, and adolescents warrants study from a developmental, behavioral, and physiological perspective because maturation of physical, emotional, and cognitive systems influences the way in which pain is experienced and expressed. Pediatric pain is an underdeveloped area ripe for study within the realm of developmental and behavioral pediatrics, as noted by documentation of its undertreatment in children. The focus of this paper is to present issues relevant to the study of pain in children, using the example of the recurrent abdominal pain syndrome to illustrate points regarding epidemiology, assessment, and intervention. It is the opinion of these authors that pediatric pain must be understood from a developmental perspective in both clinical and nonclinical populations of children. Multidisciplinary approaches to research in pain aids in understanding the development of nociceptive transmission and inhibitory systems, the development of pain expression, and the influence of context on pain experience and behavior. The goal of research in pediatric pain is to understand these systems within a developmental context so that preventive and therapeutic intervention strategies can be developed to reduce children's distress and pain-related disability.

Pediatric pain research will only benefit children if the results of this research are used in practice. Knowledge translation (KT) involves the sharing of research evidence to different knowledge users in a manner that is accessible and understandable. This chapter provides an overview of KT and its applications to pediatric pain, with a focus on the effectiveness of KT directed to individual knowledge users (e.g., patients and caregivers, and clinicians) versus organizations or systems. KT goals, strategies, and initiatives are described. The importance of evaluating KT is highlighted. Examples of effective KT strategies, activities, and initiatives directed towards individual patients and caregivers are presented. The importance of effective KT to ensure that children with pain benefit from pediatric pain research evidence is emphasized.
