“…In Nigeria, more potent analgesics were deemed too expensive for the average family to afford, which was attributed to a high rate of hospitalisation due to sickle cell pain 25. Due to the unaffordable cost of EMLA cream19 or ‘stronger’18 analgesics, non-pharmacological methods including breastfeeding, massage, eye contact, skin-to-skin contact and oral glucose were emphasised as pain-relieving measures amongst neonates undergoing surgery in several localities 18 19. Symptoms of persistent pain were identified in children breastfed with or without glucose14 16 and in children administered paracetamol12 16 18 27 and pentazocine (table 2).…”

Patterns of paediatric analgesic use in Africa: a systematic review

et al. 2012

We conducted a systematic literature review with two objectives: (1) to assess reported patterns of analgesic use in African children and compare these observed patterns to the analgesics given in the WHO Essential Medicines List for Children (EMLc); and (2) to summarise outcomes related to effectiveness, adverse events, cost and accessibility of these analgesics. Eligible participants were children (≤12 years) living in any African country who received an analgesic administered with the intention of relieving pain in any setting. Thirty-four peer-reviewed, observational studies representing 7772 African children were accepted. Studies were conducted in 25 different regions of 12 countries. Pain was attributed to surgery, burns, sickle cell anaemia and conditions requiring palliation in 32% of children, and was unspecified in the other 68%. Of the three EMLc analgesics, paracetamol and ibuprofen were widely employed, constituting ∼60% of all analgesics, while morphine was used in 20 children (0.2%). There were 455 suspected adverse drug reactions which included 17 deaths. Analgesic use reported in African children appears to fall short of WHO standards.

“…Culture refers to a set of shared beliefs or values of a people group that are not genetically predetermined but are rather learned attributes (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 2001). In 2008, mothers in semiurban Nigeria were questioned on the presence of pain in infants, with 96% indicating that children less than 1 month of age could not experience pain (Olaogun, Ayandiran, Olalumade, Obiajunwa, & Adeyemo, 2008). Furthermore, Hastings (1995) showed that stoicism is the preferred response to postoperative pain in Kenya, as admission of pain is seen as weakness.…”

Qualitative Assessment of Face Validity and Cross-Cultural Acceptability of the Faces Pain Scale: “Revised” in Cameroon

et al. 2018

The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) is a self-report pain scale validated in numerous countries, but not in Cameroon. We postulated that while cultural factors influence pain perception and expression, the FPS-R should remain culturally acceptable for pediatric use. A convenience sample of 36 pediatric patients, aged 4 to 16 years, representing three primary language groups, was enrolled at Mbingo Baptist Hospital (MBH). Pre- and postanalgesia FPS-R scores and vital signs were obtained. Audio-recorded cognitive interviews were performed with each participant. Written questionnaires were also provided to physicians, nurses, and caretakers to further explore cultural perceptions of pain. Four independent reviewers analyzed interview transcripts and questionnaires using inductive reasoning and identified common themes pertaining to gender differences, societal roles, and pain perception. Basic comprehension of the FPS-R was present across language groups, vital sign changes corresponded with FPS-R alterations, and the FPS-R appears intuitive for pediatric use.

“…Parent/caregiver knowledge and attitudes on children's pain were identified as important aspects of paediatric pain management in LMIC. Olaogun, Ayandiran, Olalumade, Obiajunwa, and Adeyemo () and He, Jahja, et al () studied parent/caregiver's attitudes relating to children's pain, reporting lack of knowledge on pain management strategies as a hindrance in providing pain relief for their children. Also, He et al (; 2010) and Jongudomkarn et al () reported that parents often use non‐pharmacological strategies to alleviate their children's pain regardless of pain intensity.…”

Aim: Examine the state of the science for pain management in children living in lowmiddle income countries (LMIC).Background: Significant challenges exist in pain management for children living in LMIC.Methods: An integrative review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines for quality of reporting. Literature searches were completed using Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL databases for publications between January 2006 and August 2016 using MeSH and primary search terms pain and LMIC. Full text publications were evaluated using GRADE criterion and methodology specific evaluation tools.Results: Of 1510 publications identified, 31 met the criteria for inclusion. Data were categorized into three broad themes: (1) magnitude of the pain problem with subthemes describing the burden of and resources for paediatric pain management;(2) perceptions, experience, and practices for managing pain in children residing in LMIC with subthemes addressing health care providers, parent/caregiver and children, respectively; and (3) pain management practices with pain assessment and treatment strategies as subthemes. Conclusion: Current data on paediatric pain management in LMIC are limited with respect to describing the burden of pain, children's pain perceptions and experiences, and pain management practices. Rigorous investigations are needed to expand knowledge and address the pervasive problem of pain for children in LMIC.
