“…Pain coping strategies by children and adolescents seem to be intuitive and not based on professional support. Many studies have shown coping strategies change with age [27][28][29]. These changes can be explained based on Piaget's theory of cognitive development.…”

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by the presence of tics and associated behavioral problems. Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), The PedsQL Pediatric Pain Questionnaire, and Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory were used to assess the severity of tics, the severity of the pain, the location of the pain and pain coping strategies both from children’s and parents’ perspectives. Sixty percent of children demonstrated pain (past or present); the pain was reported by 72% of parents raising children with TS. The pain most commonly was cervical, throat, shoulder, ocular, and joint pain; most children declared pain located in more than one part of the body. Consistency between the declarations of children and their parents in coping with pain was observed. Pain should be recognized as a common comorbid aspect of tic disorders in childhood and therapeutic treatment must include the reduction of pain caused by tics.

Aim To explore the lived experiences of pain in children and young people with cerebral palsy (CP). Method Participants were recruited from the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and the New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory CP Registers. Inclusion criteria were as follows: CP; aged 9 to 17 years; current/past experience of pain; fluent in English; no greater than mild intellectual disability. Purposive sampling ensured representation across age, motor subtypes, and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels. Semi‐structured face‐to‐face interviews were conducted. Data were analysed following an interpretative phenomenological approach. Results Ten participants (three male) were included (mean age 14y 5mo, SD 2y), GMFCS levels I (n=4), II (n=3), III (n=2), and IV (n=1). Analysis led to three superordinate themes: (1) Everybody’s experience of pain is different; (2) When the pain is winning; (3) ‘I know how to deal with it’. Pain contributors and locations varied between children. Pain intruded on school, physical activity, and psychosocial functioning. Children described personalized strategies used to deal with pain. Interpretation In this study, children self‐reported highly individualized pain experiences which interfered with their daily life and psychosocial well‐being. There is a need for improvement in pain assessment and a personalized approach to pain management.

“…The present study revealed that the presence of a significant other (mother) increased pain sensitivity in children with CP. Although children with CP have multiple pain experiences and increased pain sensitivity from an early age [ 24 ], they seem to highly rely on social support and on a low use of other active strategies for coping with this pain [ 6 ], in contrast to healthy peers who use a greater range of adaptative pain-coping strategies. Previous research has shown that perceived social support may regulate physiological stress responses and pain ratings in a healthy population [ 16 , 17 , 28 ].…”

“…Pain negatively affects quality of life [ 2 , 3 ] and participation [ 2 , 4 ]. Furthermore, individuals with CP have altered somatosensory processing and pain sensitivity [ 5 ], requiring the development of specific coping strategies to manage pain [ 6 ].…”

Pain and abnormal somatosensory processing are important associated conditions in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Perceived social support is highly relevant for pain perception and coping. Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of social support on pain sensitivity in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy and healthy peers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Pressure pain thresholds were assessed in 42 children and adolescents with CP and 190 healthy peers during three different conditions: alone, with their mother and with a stranger. Results: Children with CP reported lower pain sensitivity when they were with their mother than being alone or with a stranger, whereas healthy peers did not experience different pain sensitivity related to the social condition. Sex or clinical characteristics did not affect the relationship between pain perception and social support. Conclusion: The present study shows how children with CP are highly affected by social and contextual influences for regulating pain sensitivity. Solicitous parental support may enhance pain perception in children with CP. Further research on the topic is warranted in order to attain well-founded conclusions for clinical practice.
