Behavioral Health Treatment in the Pain Management Clinic

The role of behavioral health treatment in the Pain Clinic consists mainly of a cognitive-behavioral approach to pain management.

Behavioral health clinicians help children understand how stress and pain relate to each other.

Topics they address include:

  • Education about the mind-body connection.
  • Recognition of one’s stressors and stress symptoms.
  • The impact of pain on daily life.

Behavioral health experts also emphasize coping methods a child can use when experiencing pain, such as:

  • Relaxation training.
  • Hypnosis.
  • Biofeedback.
  • Problem-solving techniques.
