Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

cognitive-behavioral therapy

In addition to standard medical care, the children and parents in the family CBT condition will also receive education about chronic pain, pain behaviors and operant strategies as well as training in coping skills using an interactive, engaging format on the Internet. The Internet site will consist of three main sections: child treatment modules, parent treatment modules, and diary tracking. All users will complete 8 treatment modules (one per week) over the 8-week treatment period. Each module will require approximately 30-40 minutes to complete. There is separate specific content of the intervention for child users and for parent users. Assignments are incorporated into each module for the participant to work on during the treatment week.
