Brief summary (from the registry)
Background: There are over 500,000 survivors of childhood cancer in North America alone. One in four survivors experiences chronic pain after treatment has completed. Youth with chronic pain report increased anxiety, depression, activity limitations, and sleep disturbances. An 8-week web-based cognitive-behavioral treatment for chronic pain (WebMAP) has demonstrated reduction in the pain in children but has not yet been explored in survivors. The objectives of the current study are to (1) test the feasibility and acceptability of WebMAP for a sample of survivors with chronic pain and their parents, (2) assess the acceptability of WebMAP using qualitative interviews, (3) assess WebMAP's effect on activity limitations, pain intensity, depression and anxiety symptoms, and sleep disturbances, and (4) assess WebMAP's effect on parent pain catastrophizing and parental response to their child's pain. Methods: A single-arm mixed-methods pre-post intervention study design will be utilized. Participants will be 34 survivors and at least one of their parents/caregivers. Inclusion criteria are (1) cancer history (2) current age 11-17 years, (3) \>2 years post-treatment or \>5 years post-diagnosis, (4) pain present over prior 3 months impairing \>1 area of daily life and occurring \>1/month , (5) computer access with broadband internet. Survivors will complete a pre-treatment questionnaire, which will include: Child Activity Limitations Interview, the pain intensity Numerical Rating Scale, PROMIS - and Pain Interference, Anxiety, Depression, and Adolescent Sleep Wake Scale. Parents will complete the Pain Catastrophizing Scale - Parent Version and the Adult Responses to Child Symptoms. Upon completion of pre-treatment questionnaires (T0), survivors will begin WebMAP. After the 8 week intervention, survivors will complete the same measures (T1), and at 3 month follow-up (T2). Post-treatment interviews will be conducted to determine acceptability. Feasibility will be assessed via r…
