Study:
Randomized Clinical Trial in Juvenile Fibromyalgia
Rationale:
n/a
Purpose:
Juvenile fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that can cause considerable suffering and
difficulty in an adolescent`s day-to-day activities. The purpose of this study is to
determine whether coping skills training, when combined with usual medical care, can reduce
pain and disability in adolescents with fibromyalgia.
Study hypotheses: 1) Adolescents who receive coping skills training combined with their
usual medical care will show significantly greater reductions in functional disability,
pain, and depressive symptoms at the end of the acute treatment phase than adolescents who
receive fibromyalgia education with their usual medical care. 2) Adolescents who receive
coping skills training with their usual medical care will show significantly lower levels of
functional disability, pain, and depressive symptoms at the end of a six-month maintenance
phase than adolescents who receive fibromyalgia education with their usual medical care.
