Analgesia Nociception Index In Pediatric Patients With Chronic Pain
Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the analgesia nociceptive index (ANI) is associated with pain sensitivity in patients between the ages of 9-17 who are experiencing chronic pain. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does the ANI score correlate with the change in the pain sensitivity in patients aged 9-17 undergoing an interventional block. Patients already receiving an interventional block as part of their regular medical care for chronic pain will have their level of pain recorded during clinic appointments
