Abstract
Rheumatic diseases, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), are typically associated with acute pain mainly caused by inflammation. Chronic pain is described as pain lasting at least 3 months. In JIA patients chronic pain may occur despite successful treatment. Chronic pain and pain disorders frequently occur during the course of the disease despite successful control of inflammation.
