Summary

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is one of the most common types of pain among children and adolescents. Recurring episodes of MSK pain during childhood does not only impact physical and psychological aspects of daily life but may predispose children and adolescents to experience recurrent pain-related illnesses while in adulthood. Thus, effective early life pain management is critical in avoiding a cascade of ill adaptive behaviors. Close to 16,000 children are seen in the clinics of the Shriners Hospital for Children - Canada each year. In the clinic, questionnaires are the standardized clinical way to access the patient's history on pain experience and their perception of it. However, clinicians currently lack the tools to objectively examine pain processes. The ultimate goal of this project is to investigate pain assessment techniques that could be used to phenotype pediatric MSK pain by their endogenous central pain modulation efficacy to provide a more personalized approach to pain management.
