Abstract
This article focuses on the methods of pain measurement and assessment in children. The concepts of reliability and validity and the available types of physiologic, self-report, and behavioral measures are addressed. Methods of pain assessment in infants and toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, and adolescents are detailed. Finally, some practical suggestions for pediatric pain assessment are provided.

All pain‐rating scales were correlated with each other and they showed a good internal consistency, so any of the now‐employed scales can be used in clinical analgesic studies in children on the condition that the child has comprehended the use of the scale during the preoperative visit.
