Brief summary (from the registry)
Pain is the most common secondary condition in patients with CP and the most important factor associated with reduced health-related quality of life. Pain in adolescents with CP is reported approximately 50-75%. Despite being a condition that can be seen with such a high prevalence, it is difficult for researchers and clinicians to capture this subjective perception in CP, as the individual may be a small child, may be cognitively impaired, visually impaired, or have communication difficulties. For these reasons, unrecognized pain can have negative effects on quality of life and participation in daily living activities, both as a result of limited mobility resulting from pain itself and fear-driven avoidance of specific activities. Self-report of pain is appropriate for individuals with CP without cognitive impairment. However, depending on the severity of communication impairment, self-report may be limited or even impossible to obtain in individuals with severe CP. In the case of individuals with CP, self-report supplemented with parent report, when possible, is the recommended strategy. The aims of this study: (i) to explore what is known about the prevalence, location, intensity and the effect of pain on daily lives of adolescents with CP; (ii) to demonstrate the relation between pain, clinical and sociodemographic characteristics; (iii) to compare self-reports of pain with mothers'reports of their child's pain.
