Abstract

Clinical guidelines recommend that healthcare providers assist children to understand their experience of persistent pain, with pain science education a key component of clinical management in pediatric pain clinics. Currently, no tool exists to assess a child's concept of pain. The aim of this study was to develop such a tool and to evaluate its psychometric properties.
