Abstract

The dearth of empirical support for interventions in pediatric chronic and disease-related pain requires a shift in our treatments and treatment research. Treatments with a higher degree of treatment accommodation are needed to reduce the treatment demands on patients and their families. We need to focus more on changing our treatments to fit the lives of our patients instead of trying to change our patients' lives to fit our treatments. Likewise, treatment research will need higher levels of research acceptability to ensure adequate data demonstrating the true efficacy of treatments. A more creative approach is needed that incorporates technology as a tool to these ends.
