Inpatient pain medicine allows you and your child that is admitted to Children’s Minnesota hospital to talk with medical doctors about the pain your child is experiencing, discuss updates, feelings, problems and solutions to help with the pain. Our goal is to get your child back to their normal, daily activities.
Treatment methods
- Multimodal analgesia including pain medications
- Non-pharmacological integrative approach
- Family support
- Iatrogenic medication dependance (medication tapers)
To ensure the safety of using pain medications, we have experts to make sure it’s appropriate and safe. If you are worried about how your child reacts to medications, we also collaborate with the pharmacogenomics program when needed to care for children who respond to medications differently.
