Burn injuries are the sixth leading cause of mortality globally and among the top five causes of injury in pediatrics. Therefore, this study aimed to review the methods and treatments for managing procedural pain in pediatric burnt patients, focusing on alleviating burning sensations effectively. Data were gathered from various electronic databases spanning 2015 to 2024 using keywords related to pain management, burn injuries, and intervention strategies. Utilizing frameworks like SPIDER, PICO, and ROBIS, 85 articles were selected for review, elucidating interventions, pain assessment criteria, and management guidelines. The review underscores the progress in effective therapies while aiming to determine the prevalence and treatment of procedural burn pain in pediatrics. Further, it encompasses treatment criteria, protocols, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, and lifestyle modifications. This indicates that effective treatment options are progressing. This review concluded personalized, multimodal pain treatment methods for enhancing the health and efficiency of patients in vulnerable situations.
