Pain Body Map

The development of a pain body map for assessing pain location in children, as published in von Baeyer et al [1], was supported in part by a project completed with the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA).  The pain body map is free for educational, research, and clinical use.  For re-publication in print or online, or for commercial use, please contact [email protected].
