The Paediatric Pain Profile (PPP) was developed by researchers at the Royal College of Nursing Institute, Oxford and the Institute of Child Health, London. It is a behaviour rating scale for assessing pain in children with severe physical and learning impairments. Children can experience difficulties in communicating their pain and it can go unrecognised and untreated. The pain assessment scale was developed specifically for children to help parents and health care professionals to distinguish which behaviours indicate pain and which pain relieving treatments to follow. The PPP tool is available for download as a PDF document.
