Prevalence, identification, and interference of pain in young children with cerebral palsy: a population-based study.

Conclusions: Half of this group of young children with CP were reported to have pain. Pain restricted the children's everyday lives and seemed to be under-treated. If pain can be addressed early, the children's everyday lives are likely to be improved. Implications for rehabilitation There is a need to early identify and treat pain in young children. Important to discuss pain with parents irrespectively of the child's age and severity level. Pain interference assessment gives valuable information. Early treatment of pain might improve children's everyday life. PMID: 31526138 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
