Understanding Pain Management in Children with Neurological Disorders

Guest: Lauren Treat, MD

Guest: Wendy Gaultney, MD

Children who have neurological disorders and experience pain are often not able to articulate how their pain affects them. That’s why it’s important for clinicians to understand the brain’s role in the experience of pain and how to help these patients and their families navigate their pain. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share best practices for counseling and treating pain in children with neurological disorders are Drs. Lauren Treat and Wendy Gaultney, who presented a session on this topic at the 2024 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting.
