Abstract

Fatigue has been proposed as a potential factor influencing the perception of pain, which could be pertinent for enhancing chronic pain treatment. Exploring the relationship between pain and fatigue during a 3-week inpatient interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy program, we evaluated children and adolescents (11-18 years) who reported significant chronic pain. Assessment tools included the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory and other clinical questionnaires. The participants had higher fatigue scores than healthy subjects, general fatigue was found to be associated with the perception of pain in a random-effects model. The connection between fatigue and pain in adolescents with chronic pain suggests that the degree of fatigue and the changes in fatigue were associated with the intensity of their pain. The participants' (N = 94) dimensions of fatigue and the intensity of their pain were reduced. We discuss implications for fatigue-reducing treatments in chronic pain management to reduce pain and augment pain management skills.

疲劳在青少年慢性疼痛中的作用：慢性疼痛障碍年轻患者疲劳方面的研究。

疲劳已被认为是影响疼痛感知的潜在因素，这可能与加强慢性疼痛治疗有关。在为期3周的跨学科多模式疼痛治疗项目中，我们对报告有明显慢性疼痛的儿童和青少年（11-18岁）进行了评估，探讨了疼痛和疲劳之间的关系。评估工具包括多维疲劳量表和其他临床问卷。参与者的疲劳得分高于健康受试者，在随机效应模型中发现，一般疲劳与疼痛的感知有关。慢性疼痛青少年的疲劳和疼痛之间的联系表明，疲劳程度和疲劳的变化与疼痛的强度有关。参与者（N = 94）的疲劳维度和疼痛强度都降低了。我们讨论了慢性疼痛管理中减轻疲劳治疗的意义，以减轻疼痛和增强疼痛管理技能。
