Pediatric pain research has grown exponentially in the past decade, reflecting the increasing awareness of chronic pain as a significant health problem in pediatrics. Various epidemiologic studies across countries indicate that more than 30% of children suffer from chronic or recurrent pain significant enough to create suffering and impact function, such as school attendance, sleep, and physical and social activities (Goodman & McGrath, 1991
; Kristjansdottir, 1997; Palermo, 2000; Perquin et al., 2000; Stang & Osterhaus, 1993).

One third reported pain that occurred more than once a week. Pain
