Recklinghausen District Pediatricians
“Every fifth school child in my practice complains of recurring or ongoing pain. Diagnosis and therapy can only succeed within a strong network of practicing pediatricians and a professional reference centre. Together with the German Paediatric Pain Centre we will develop diagnostic instruments, therapy pathways and chronification scores in order to treat affected children and adolescents according to their needs, either within our practices or in the reference centre. We as practicing doctors are happy that someone is tackling this important subject, and will very gladly support the German Paediatric Pain Centre.”
