Characterising pain flares in adolescent inflammatory and non-inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders: A qualitative study using an interpretative phenomenological approach.
Abstract
Adolescents with musculoskeletal disorders experience acute exacerbations in pain, colloquially called 'pain flares' in adult literature. This study aimed to explore adolescents' lived experience of pain flares, including what pain flares are, why they occur, how they are managed and what lasting effects they have on adolescents.
