Abstract

Despite the pervasiveness of pediatric pain, it’s frequently overshadowed by the spotlight on adults. Alternative treatments are oftentimes omitted from pediatric care exacerbating this lapse in research. Data collected from pediatric patients seeking treatment reflected changes in pain intensity and an increase in quality of life for all treatment groups.
