Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Pain is generally categorized as nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain in children and adolescents is less common and less well studied. However, the quality of life for children and adolescents with neuropathic pain can be affected significantly. Pain assessment and management pose unique challenges in children and adolescents. This article provides an introductory overview of neuropathic pain in children and adolescents.
