Background summary
Pediatric chronic pain is highly prevalent in the general population and causes considerable suffering. It often becomes a recurrent long-lasting, if not life-long, problem requiring costly health care over time. However, many children and adolescents with chronic pain remain undetected and untreated. Tools are needed for the measurement and detection of pain. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to develop a detection and advice instrument for chronic pain in adolescents (Painbarometer) and test its efficiency and effectiveness. The Painbarometer will be implemented in the Rotterdam Health Youth Monitor of the Public Health Service (GGD).The Health Youth Monitor is used to detect health problems that might warrant advice of referral. Chronic pain does not yet occupy a place in the current diagnostic and registration system of the GGD, because of its aspecific nature and its low correlation with somatic disorders.
Study objective
Detection of chronic pain in adolescents by self-report combined with advice from a school nurse will be efficient and effective.
Study design
The Painbarometer will be adminstered in 12-13-year-olds and again two years later.
The frequency of consultations and referrals will be registered continuously during the time of the trial.
Intervention
Detection of chronic pain in adolescents by self-report (i.e. Painbarometer) combined with advice from a school nurse versus usual consultation with a school nurse (i.e. no detection of pain nor advice related to pain).
