Abstract Background. Children in hospitals and day-care centers undergo painful procedures. There are different ways of controlling pain in children, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, to compare all aspects of pediatric pain treatment. Methods. A review was conducted across databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords "pharmacological treatments", "non-pharmacological treatments", "pediatric" and "invasive procedures" between 2000 and 2025. In the initial review, 2400 articles were retrieved and then added to a reference management software (EndNote). Results. Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria these studies highlighted seventeen key challenges. In terms of effectiveness, the pharmacological method has more support for acute and severe pain, while the non-pharmacological method enjoys more support for chronic and less severe pain. Conclusion. The findings, it can be concluded that both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods have advantages and disadvan- tages. Yet, selecting the proper method depends on environmental factors, the child's pain status, and access to that method. Considering the im- portance of non-pharmacological pain control in children, there is a need for strategies to remove or reduce obstacles. Addressing these problems and obstacles requires multiple approaches in various areas, including personnel, education, management, and the environment. Keywords: pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, pain, pediatric, invasive procedures.
