Summary

This is a randomized prospective study assessing the impact of psychosocial factors on pain and physical performance among adolescents with leg pain. A set of psychosocial surveys assessing activity-related fear, stress, anxiety and depression will be completed by the participants. Participants will then complete self-report questionnaires assessing pain, quality of life and functional ability followed by an assessment of physical activity levels assessed with a wearable activity monitor;. Participants will then be randomized into one of two intervention groups (psychologically-informed video education group and a control group). After participants receive their assigned educational intervention, the self-report questionnaires will be re-administered. Participants with leg pain pain will then complete follow-up assessment of their psychological beliefs, pain, quality of life, physical activity levels, and self-reported functional ability through REDcap at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.

Interventions

OTHER

Psychologically Informed Education Video Series

A short three video series (5-8.5 minutes each) provides psychologically-informed education at an age-appropriate level to address kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, and fear-avoidance beliefs.30 Participants will view the three-part education video series on an iPad at their first visit (video 1), one week (video 2), and three weeks (video 3).

OTHER

Anatomy and biomedical education videos

Participants in the control group will watch three videos equal in length to the psychologically-informed videos. The control videos will discuss anatomy of the lower extremity, basic instruction in proper lower extremity biomechanics, and simple lower extremity exercises. The control videos will provide no psychologically-informed education or positive reinforcement about the condition.
