Summary
Online interventions for pediatric chronic pain often lack comprehensive multidisciplinary care. Future development should prioritize evidence-based strategies, including physiotherapy, to improve pain management accessibility for families.
Area of Science:
- Digital health interventions
- Pediatric chronic pain management
- Biopsychosocial model in healthcare
Background:
- Online interventions for pediatric chronic pain are prevalent.
- Multidisciplinary care is the recommended approach for chronic pain management.
- Existing online interventions' multidisciplinary components remain unexamined.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and evaluate the content of online interventions for pediatric chronic pain.
- To map intervention content against evidence-based chronic pain management guidelines.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review to identify interventions.
- Defined nine evidence-based chronic pain management strategies.
- Coded interventions against these strategies for content analysis.
Main Results:
- 13 unique interventions were identified across 35 articles.
- Few interventions offered a complete multidisciplinary approach.
- Physiotherapy and non-pharmacological physical therapies were underrepresented.
Conclusions:
- Online interventions for pediatric chronic pain largely lack comprehensive multidisciplinary content.
- New interventions must be evidence-based and align with best practices.
- Process evaluations are crucial for identifying effective intervention components.

1.0K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

2.7K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
