Children with cerebral palsy (CP) face many challenges including impaired motor control and coordination, functional impairment, sensory disturbances, and, sometimes, communication difficulties and cognitive deficits. Pain also may be a problem for children with CP due in part to the inherent deficits associated with the disease, as well as the invasive medical and surgical procedures and rehabilitative activities children with CP undergo on a regular basis. A review of current literature indicates pain is a common experience for children with CP and has been understudied in this population. Further emphasis and research on appropriate assessment and management strategies sensitive to the unique characteristics and limitations of children with CP are warranted.
患有脑瘫（CP）的儿童面临许多挑战，包括运动控制和协调受损、功能障碍、感觉障碍，有时还存在沟通困难和认知缺陷。疼痛也可能是脑瘫儿童面临的一个问题，部分原因是该疾病本身存在的缺陷，以及脑瘫儿童经常接受的侵入性医疗和外科手术及康复活动。对当前文献的综述表明，疼痛是脑瘫儿童的常见经历，但在这一人群中尚未得到充分研究。有必要进一步强调并研究针对脑瘫儿童独特特征和局限性的适当评估和管理策略。
