Pain in Youths With Neuromuscular Disease
American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, 10/14/09
Engel JM et al. – A total of 23 (55%) of the youths reported having chronic pain. Current pain intensity was 1.30 (range = 0–6), mean pain intensity over the past week was 2.39 (range = 0–7), mean pain duration was 8.75 hours (SD = 12.84). Pain in the legs was most commonly reported and 83% reported using pain medications. This study indicates that chronic pain is a significant problem in youths with NMD. These data strongly support making comprehensive pain assessment and management an integral part of the standard of care for youths with NMD.
