Pain is a common presenting and often persistent symptom for children with rheumatological disease. Pain is not clearly related to disease severity in children with inflammatory juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and presentations of non-inflammatory musculoskeletal pain are common but there is limited evidence to guide management. Pain assessment must extend beyond measures of pain severity to more fully...
There are controversial discussions regarding developmental- and sex-related differences in somatosensory perception, which were found, eg, when comparing younger children (6–8years), older children (9–12years), and adolescents (13–16years) using quantitative sensory testing (QST). The aim of our current study was to systematically assess the impact of age and sex using the QST protocol of the German...
Alterations in neural activity due to pain and injury in early development may produce long-term effects on sensory processing and future responses to pain. To investigate persistent alterations in sensory perception, we performed quantitative sensory testing (QST) in extremely preterm (EP) children (n=43) recruited from the UK EPICure cohort (born less than 26 weeks gestation in 1995) and in age...
Accurate pain assessment is the foundation for effective pain management in children. At present, there is no clear consensus regarding the age at which young children are able to appropriately use self-report scales for pain. This study examined young children's ability to use the Faces Pain Scale-Revised; (FPS-R; [Hicks CL, von Baeyer CL, Spafford PA, van Korlaar I, Goodenough B. The Faces Pain...
Effective verbalization of pain requires progressive cognitive development and acquisition of social communication skills. Use of self-report in pediatric pain assessment assumes children have acquired a capacity to understand and use common words to describe pain. The current investigation documented the language most commonly used by young children to describe pain and the age of onset of use of...
