Objective:
to evaluate the non-pharmacological measures implemented by the nurses management of pain manifested by pediatric patients diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia during hospitalization.

It was observed that the lesions in the body (OR 4.29, 95% CI: 1.93-9.55) and headache (OR 2.61, 95% CI: 1.03-6.60) are factors of risk to present pain and music a factor that improves it (OR 0.44, 95% CI: 0.23-0.87).
