  • The guideline also highlights disparities in pain management for Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native youth, advocating for fair treatment across all demographics, regardless of language, socioeconomic status, or geographic location.
  • It emphasizes a multimodal approach to pain management, recommending nonpharmacologic therapies and nonopioid medications, with strict guidelines for opioid prescriptions, including avoiding certain medications for specific age groups and starting with low doses and short supply durations.
