The Pain Management Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides comprehensive evaluation and therapy for children with acute and chronic pain – before, during and after a surgery or procedure. Whether your child is an inpatient or outpatient, our team can help manage your child’s pain optimally and safely.

Our dedicated physicians and nurse practitioners work closely with families to address each child’s pain management needs. We evaluate each child’s pain level, develop and implement a customized pain management plan, and monitor their progress. As part of a dedicated regional anesthesia team, the Pain Management Program provides patients with cutting-edge pain management services – including epidural catheters and continuous peripheral nerve block catheters – that block some pain signals from reaching the brain.
