Summary
This study tested a 90-minute pain management class for 110 youth aged 10-18 with chronic pain. The class teaches pain science and self-regulation skills like relaxation and cognitive techniques. Researchers checked if the class was acceptable and helpful by surveying participants before and up to 12 weeks after the session.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Empowered Relief for Youth (a 90-minute behavioral class teaching pain science and self-regulation skills)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this class could offer a quick, accessible way for young people to manage chronic pain and reduce its impact on daily activities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with no control group, so results may not prove the class is effective. It also excludes youth with severe mental health issues, limiting how well findings apply to all teens with chronic pain.
