Title [en]
Development, evaluation and cost effectiveness of a treatment program with a behavioural medicine approach for adolescents with persistent pain
Abstract [sv]
Recurrent pain, such as headache, stomach pain and musculoskeletal pain is common in children and adolescents. Children and adolescents are reported to have restrictions in daily life activities, social contacts, and school attendance, and to have poorer academic skills and as well as an increased utilization of heath care services due to pain problems. Today few alternatives for management of persistent paediatric pain are available in Sweden. In this study a behavioural medicine treatment program suitable to use in primary care or school based health care context will be evaluated. The treatment approaches available today to are often biological/physical and little evidence for their effectiveness has been shown. It is urgent to try new interventions for pain-problems in early ages in order to prevent pain-related disability, development of maladaptive coping strategies and to avoid negative impact on daily activities. The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate in a randomized controlled trial a treatment program with a behavioural medicine approach compared with standard treatment for adolescents with persistent pain problems. The aim is also to compare short and long-term costs for patients and health care system related to the two interventions, in order to determine strategies for future cost-effective care of children and adolescents experiencing recurrent pain. Thus this project has a caring science perspective.
