GARCIA-CARPINTERO BLAS, Eva. The importance of games in the control of pediatric pain. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2010, n.18. ISSN 1695-6141.

Pain is a symptom that accompanies multiple childhood diseases, and consequently, a frequent motive of consultation for health professionals. In children it was not a motive of worry for the child caregivers or researchers for a long time. Nevertheless, the need for a pediatric analgesia has undergone a drastic change in the last decades. In this way, the old axiom that children do not feel pain is luckily an obsolete concept. Game therapy begins to be a topic with great relevancy, since it can help to control pain in the pediatric patient and consequently the anxiety of the family.
