AbstractChronic pain in children and adolescents is increasing in prevalence, affects the quality of life, predisposes to pain in adulthood and causes numerous contacts to the healthcare system. In contrast, the number of therapeutic offers tailored to the special needs of this age group is insufficient and confusing. The working group on pain in children and adolescents of the German Pain Society therefore documented appropriate facilities in a questionnaire survey carried out using a snowball system. The response rate of 27/109 questionnaires was low. Thus, the results may not be entirely representative. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of the offers and in total an undersupply became very clear. In order to improve the care situation, joint efforts by the various pediatric subdisciplines dealing with pain, an increase in the number of child pain treatment centers and a better networking are necessary.
