Brief summary (from the registry)
Pain in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) is a significant health challenge that so far has received too little attention. We lack knowledge on how pain is experienced, its consequences and of perceived support in managing pain. The overarching aim of the CPPain-program is to reduce pain experience, pain interference (e.g. pain burden) in children and adolescents living with CP. CPPain has a prospective cohort comparative design and will include before- and after measurements and process evaluation of a nested intervention. This protocol concerns qualitative and quantitative data collection for the baseline of the CPPain program. The aim of the baseline data collection is to contribute in-depth knowledge of the pain burden in children and adolescents with CP. This knowledge is required to develop targeted pain-diminishing interventions in this vulnerable group of children with a high burden of challenges related to their chronic disease. In the next step, nested intervention will be co-created with children and adolescents with CP, their parents as well as health care professionals, and other professional caregivers involved in or responsible for management of pain based on existing research and baseline findings.
