Ep12: Supporting Children with Complex Pain with Amanda de Chastelain

Amanda de Chastelain has been working at the Alberta Children's Hospital since 2014 at their outpatient orthopaedics, complex pain clinic, and burn clinic. She is also a current board member and the past president of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. In this episode, we talked about pain in the pediatrics context, concrete ways to support children experiencing complex pain and their families, and effective ways of communicating concepts of pain with children. Paincast is dedicated to bringing together researchers, clinicians, and students to discuss topics related to pain and physiotherapy. The primary purpose is to facilitate knowledge translation and critical thinking. Some episode posit themselves as more educational than others, and some more opinionated than others. The listener is encouraged to critically reflect on the content. While there is an effort to incorporate research evidence, and the topic is researched by the host (Tiffany), we recognize there is room for improvement and there is expertise in the community. As such, we invite constructive critique and that you inform us of any inadvertent errors, so that we may correct them.
