[Rheumatic pain and chronic pain in children, adolescents and young adults].

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates JIA to be a risk factor for the development of chronic pain not only as a result from malpositioning or arthrosis but also as a chronic pain disorder (CPD). Further studies are necessary to clarify the relevance of disease activity and duration and also of psychological factors for the pathogenesis.
