[The first Swedish national care program for pediatric chronic pain].
Pediatric chronic pain is common and frequently results in reduced wellbeing and functioning. Limited knowledge among health care professionals has motivated a national care program for pediatric chronic pain to increase the standard of care for this group. Emphasizing a biopsychosocial approach, treatment should focus on self-management of pain and distress to increase resilience, functioning and wellbeing. Furthermore, close collaborations between relevant stakeholders, such as families, healthcare, and school, is critical for optimal and sustained effects.
