The incidence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their association with pain-related and psychosocial impairment in youth with chronic pain
The Clinical Journal of Pain Apr 18, 2018
Nelson S, et al. - In a sample of youth with chronic pain, researchers examined the incidence and psychological/pain-related correlates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). They also examined exploratory analyses using primary pain diagnosis and number of pain locations. As per results, over 80% of youth with chronic pain experienced at least 1 ACE in their lifetime that can be associated with increased psychosocial but not functional impairment. Multiple and univariate analyses of variance showed that ACEs exposure was markedly associated with greater symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fear of pain, with ≥3 ACEs associated with greatest impairment in functioning.
