Chronic pain in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) is associated with adverse functional and psychological outcomes; however, inconsistent findings across studies necessitate a comprehensive synthesis. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify associations between anxiety, depression, and pain/functional outcomes, and explore study and sample moderators, such as age, sex, pain duration, recruitment setting, and measurement tools.
