This course will provide an overview of the neurobiology of pediatric pain within a biopyschosocial framework. It will outline developmental issues related to pediatric pain as well as strategies for managing acute procedural pain. It will review use of the Internet and the role of computers in modern day pain treatment, as well as present discussions about a number of pain syndromes, including headaches, arthritis, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic somatic syndromes such as chronic fatigue and cyclic vomiting. Clinical evaluation of children with chronic pain will be outlined within the biopsychosocial model. The development of a pain management plan and specific treatments for chronic pain will be outlined, including educational, physical, psychological, behavioral, pharmacological, and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments. Pediatric palliative care and hospice needs, planning, and treatment will also be discussed, as well as how to talk with the dying child and his/her family. This course, designed for physicians who care for children and adolescents, will fulfill the requirement legislated by the state of California that physicians, except radiologists and pathologists, complete 12 hours of continuing medical education in pain management and palliative care.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be better able to:
The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this educational activity for a maximum of 14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
AB 487
New California law, AB 487, mandates that physicians licensed in the state of California (except Radiologists and Pathologists) complete 12 hours of continuing medical education on pain management and the treatment of terminally ill and dying patients. This is a one-time requirement, which must be completed by December 31, 2006.
The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy now mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
