The Pain Relief Program at Connecticut Children's Medical Center consists of three major components: the Acute Pain
Consultation Program, the Chronic Pain Program, and "Comfort Central," the medical center's program to address
pain in all of our patients.
The Acute Pain Consultation Program provides pain management advice to physician's caring for children in the
hospital who have complex pain problems. In the Chronic Pain Program, children with longstanding and persistent
pain are evaluated and managed as outpatients by a multidisciplinary team (physician, psychologist,
physical therapist, and nurse).
The "Comfort Central" initiative is focused on creating as pain-free an experience as possible for all
children at Connecticut Children's through education, protocol and policy development, and increasing
public awareness.

The Comforter
The Comforter is a quarterly publication of the Pain Relief
Program and is aimed at highlighting pain relief activities
at CCMC. With the newsletter, we hope to notify staff of new
and ongoing initiatives in pain relief, highlight pain
relief and comfort care techniques and policies, inform
staff of pain relief education opportunities, introduce
pain-related research projects and remind staff members of
pain relief resources at the hospital. We also hope to
celebrate some of our successes by recognizing extraordinary
staff commitment to pain relief through our Pain Buster
Awards.
