趋同线的证据表明,焦虑敏感度和疼痛恐惧度可能是成人患慢性疼痛后形成避免行为和残疾的重要脆弱因素However, these factors have not been evaluated in children with chronic pain.OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationships among anxiety sensitivity, fear of pain and pain-related disability in children and adolescents with chronic pain.METHODS: An interview and five questionnaires (Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index, Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale, Functional Disability Inventory, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, and Reynolds Child or Adolescent Depression Scale) were administered to 21 children and adolescents eight to 17 years of age (mean ± SD 14.24±2.21 years) who continued to experience pain an average of three years after discharge from a specialized pain clinic for children.RESULTS: Anxiety sensitivity accounted for 38.6% of the variance in fear of pain (F[1,20]=11.30!P=0.003和恐惧疼痛占与疼痛有关的残疾差数(F[1,20]=11.95)的39.9%。P=0.003,但焦虑敏感度与止痛功能无关²0.09P>0.05.CONUSY:这些发现显示,高度焦虑敏感儿童对疼痛有更高的恐惧感,而这反过来又与增加疼痛残疾相关联。研究结果显示,焦虑敏感度和疼痛恐惧度在保持儿童慢性疼痛和疼痛相关残疾过程中可能起重要和独特作用。
