Article Synopsis
- Pediatric chronic pain assessments often rely on reports from both children and caregivers, but differences in their perspectives can impact evaluations.
- In a study involving 202 children with chronic pain, it was found that children reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than their caregivers did.
- Lower caregiver assessments of child symptoms heightened the relationship between children's self-reported anxiety/depression and their functional impairment, suggesting that understanding these discrepancies is important for effective pain management.
