promis Pediatric Pain interference scale an item response theory analysis of the Pediatric Pain item bank
The Journal of Pain, 2010Co-Authors: James W. Varni, Brian D. Stucky, David Thissen, Esi Morgan Dewitt, Debra E. Irwin, Jin Shei Lai, Karin Yeatts, Darren A. DewaltAbstract:Abstract An aim of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) initiative is to develop item banks and computerized adaptive tests (CAT) that are applicable across a wide variety of chronic disorders. The PROMIS Pediatric Cooperative Group has concentrated on the development of Pediatric self-report item banks for ages 8 through 17 years. The objective of the present study is to describe the Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis of the NIH PROMIS Pediatric Pain item bank and the measurement properties of the new unidimensional PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale. Test forms containing Pediatric Pain items were completed by a total of 3048 respondents. IRT analyses regarding scale dimensionality, item local dependence, and differential item functioning were conducted. A Pain item pool was developed to yield scores on a T -score scale with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. The recommended 8-item unidimensional short form for the PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale contains the item set which provides the maximum test information at the mean (50) on the T -score metric. A simulated CAT was computed that provides the most information at 5 possible score locations (30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 on the T -score metric). Perspective The present study provides initial calibrations of the NIH PROMIS Pediatric Pain item bank and the creation of the PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale. It is anticipated that this new scale will have application in Pediatric chronic and recurrent Pain.

Development of the Waldron/Varni Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory
Pain, 1996Co-Authors: James W. Varni, Stacy A. Waldron, Rod A. Gragg, Michael A. Rapoff, Bram H. Bernstein, Carol B. Lindsley, Michael D. NewcombAbstract:The standardized assessment of Pediatric Pain coping strategies may substantively contribute to the conceptual understanding of individual differences in Pediatric Pain perception and report. The Waldron/Varni Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory (PPCI) was developed to be a standardized questionnaire to assess systematically children's Pain coping strategies. The PPCI was administered to 187 children and adolescents experiencing musculoskeletal Pain associated with rheumatologic diseases. A principal components analysis revealed a five-factor solution for the PPCI: (1) cognitive self-instruction, (2) seek social support, (3) strive to rest and be alone, (4) cognitive refocusing, and (5) problem-solving self-efficacy. The results of this research provide initial evidence that the PPCI is a conceptually valid and internally reliable measure for assessing Pediatric Pain coping strategies.

developing a Pediatric Pain data repository
JAMIA open, 2020Co-Authors: Carolina Donado, Kimberly Lobo, Charles B Berde, Florence T BourgeoisAbstract:The management of Pediatric Pain typically consists of individualized treatment plans and interventions that have not been systematically evaluated. There is an emerging need to create systems that can support the translation of clinical discoveries, facilitate the assessment of current interventions, and improve the collection of patient-centered data beyond routine clinical information. We present the development of the Pediatric Pain data repository, a custom-built system developed at Boston Children's Hospital by a multidisciplinary Pain treatment service. The Repository employs a web platform to collect standardized patient-reported outcomes and integrates this with electronic medical record data. To date, we have collected information on 2577 patients and anticipate adding approximately 500 new patients per year. Major strengths of the Repository include collection of extensive longitudinal patient-reported outcomes, automated clinical data abstraction, and integration of the system into clinical workflows to support medical decision making.

Use of complementary and alternative medicine in Pediatric Pain management service: A survey
Pain medicine (Malden Mass.), 2005Co-Authors: Yuan-chi Lin, Anne C C Lee, Kathi J. Kemper, Charles B BerdeAbstract:To survey the use of complementary and alternative medical therapies by Pediatric Pain management services affiliated with major universities. A telephone survey was conducted of Pediatric anesthesia training programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the United States. The survey instrument included questions on the provision of complementary and alternative medical therapies in their Pediatric Pain programs. Forty-three Pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs (100%) responded to the survey. Thirty-eight institutions (86%) offered one or more complementary and alternative medical therapies for their patients. Those therapies included biofeedback (65%), guided imagery (49%), relaxation therapy (33%), massage (35%), hypnosis (44%), acupuncture (33%), art therapy (21%), and meditation (21%). This report documents trends in complementary and alternative medical therapies usage in the tertiary Pediatric Pain management service. There is a high prevalence in the integration of complementary and alternative medical therapies in Pediatric Pain management programs. Additional clinical research in the safety and efficacy in complementary and alternative medical therapies for Pediatric Pain management is urgently needed.

On pins and needles? Pediatric Pain patients' experience with acupuncture.
Pediatrics, 2000Co-Authors: Kathi J. Kemper, R Sarah, E Silver-highfield, E Xiarhos, Linda L. Barnes, Charles B BerdeAbstract:Introduction. Despite its increasing use as a complementary therapy to treat Pain, acupuncture is rarely considered by Pediatricians, in part due to per- ceptions that it will not be acceptable to Pediatric pa- tients. We wished to describe Pediatric Pain patients' experience with acupuncture treatment for chronic Pain. Design. Retrospective case series. Methods. Subjects were Pediatric Pain patients re- ferred by the Pain Treatment Service at Children's Hos- pital in Boston, who went to a Pediatric acupuncturist. A research assistant not involved in the patient's care conducted the survey by telephone. Data were analyzed qualitatively and descriptively. Results. Of 50 eligible patients, 47 families were reached by telephone; all agreed to be interviewed. Pa- tients had a median age of 16 years at the time of refer- ral, 79% were female, and 96% were white. The most common three diagnoses were migraine headache (n 5 7), endometriosis (n 5 6), and reflex sympathetic dys- trophy (n 5 5). Patients had a median of 8 treatments (range: 0 - 60) within 3 months (range: 0 - 48 months); 85% of families paid out-of-pocket. Acupuncture thera- pies included needle insertion (98%), heat/moxa (85%), magnets (26%), and cupping (26%). Most patients and parents rated the therapy as pleasant (67% children/ 60% parents), and most (70% children/59% parents) felt the treatment had helped their symptoms; only 1 said that treatment made symptoms worse. Conclusion. Pediatric patients with chronic, severe Pain found acupuncture treatment pleasant and helpful. Additional, prospective studies are needed to quantify the costs and effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for Pediatric Pain.
