This critical literature review discusses the research evidence underpinning each of the pain standards in the National Service Framework for Children: Standard for hospital services. Relevant evidence-based reviews and clinical practice guidelines are highlighted, and aspects of children's pain management where the research evidence is particularly strong or weak are identified. Priorities are suggested for nurse-led research aimed at generating new knowledge to improve pain management for children.
