Brief summary (from the registry)
Paediatric and adolescent patients with chronic pain associated with their medical condition will be invited to participate in this study. Most patients for this study will be recruited from gastroenterology and hepatology clinics at KCH. Therefore the rationale for the study is primarily with consideration of each of these medical conditions all with the common symptom of chronic pain. Inflammatory bowel disease disorders(IBD), such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) all experience chronic pain. however children with DGBI do not have an underlying specific lesion causing the pain. The chronic pain is the disease. In addition to this Chronic pancreatitis in children and adolescents can cause severe pain. All of these groups of patients suffer with chronic pain and this can result in failure to thrive and have a negative impact on quality of life. There is a need for further development of a non - pharmacological approach to support these patients with their symptoms of pain and in turn improve quality of life. This study is designed to evaluate the benefits of a complementary natural therapy for paediatric and adolescent patients registered at King's College Hospital, with a diagnosis of a disease or disorder with associated symptoms of chronic pain. The age group is 5-18 years old. The therapy to be evaluated is an energy therapy (Pranic Healing). This therapy is non -invasive, non- touch, non- pharmacological and natural. The study will assess the benefits these patients experience with their symptoms of pain after 8 weeks of weekly energy therapy sessions each session is 30 minutes and 3 visits each 4 weeks apart. Qualitative and Quantitative data will be collected and evaluated.
