Background:
The daily life of children with a physical disability is organized around interventions and care, which is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team. Little is known about the incidence of care-related pain in pediatric rehabilitation centers and health facilities for children.
Aim:
To determine the incidence and intensity of care-rela...
Cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans la longue tradition de diffusion des connaissances et travaux des chercheurs et praticiens de la psychologie de la santé par l’Association Francophone de Psychologie de la Santé (AFPSA). Il fait suite au 10e congrès de l’association qui s’est tenu à Metz en 2018 et qui avait pour thème "Pratiques et interventions en psych...
Objectives
Recent studies have shown that physiotherapy can induce pain in children and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP). There is a lack of knowledge of children's pain experiences during therapy sessions and the specific causes of pain. The main objective of this study was to better understand the experience of children and young adults with...
We tested endogenous pain modulation mechanisms in adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Nineteen ASD adults without intellectual disabilities were included, matched with 19 healthy volunteers on the basis of sex and chronological age. An experimental pain model was used to measure excitatory and inhibitory pain mechanisms in a single sessio...
Introduction
The main symptom of fibromyalgia (FM) is diffuse pain. There is currently no aetiological treatment for FM. However, all pain associations and best practice guidelines strongly advocate the practice of aerobic physical activity to improve the symptoms of FM subjects. The mechanisms of dysfunctional pain are mostly central and related t...
Introduction/Background
Botulinum toxin injections (BTI) in children often involve several sites of injections and repetitions of the procedure. Reducing pain and anxiety during this procedure is a high priority but remains a challenge. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of medical clown presence on pain and anxiety during BT...
Objective
Botulinum toxin injections (BTI) in children often involve several sites of injections and repetitions of the procedure. Reducing pain and anxiety during this invasive procedure is a high priority but remains a challenge. The intervention of medical clowns for improving distraction during painful procedures is increasing and the question...
This study aims to broaden knowledge about pain expression and assessment in daily life situations in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The goals are to provide a description of the responses of the GED-DI, the French version of the NCCPC, and to test the internal structure validity of this scale. Thirty five children with ASD were incl...
Background:
Pain is one of the symptoms reported most by children with motor disabilities particularly during daily living activities in institutions and during rehabilitation. Despite the care and consideration of professionals, a wide range of motor and cognitive disabilities, limited communication skills, the presence of chronic pain and freque...
People with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are likely to experience pain in a large variety of contexts because of challenging behaviors, medical comorbidities or life conditions. The assessment and treatment of pain in people with ASD is for those reasons a major issue. In this chapter, studies regarding pain expression in people with ASD are rev...
Introduction
Children with motor disability and loss of independence who require multidisciplinary care are followed in paediatric rehabilitation centres. They undergo many care activities which can be painful. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, clinical relevance and the validity of a methodological paradigm for the continuous...
There is a lack of knowledge about pain reactions in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), who have often been considered as insensitive to pain. The objective of this study was to describe the facial, behavioral and physiological reactions of children with ASD during venipuncture and to compare them to the reactions of children with an in...
Cette recherche aborde au travers d’une étude de cas, la question du traitement des comportements de pica (ingestion de substances non comestibles et/ou consommation inappropriée de produites comestibles) résistants, observables chez un enfant porteur d’un syndrome de Pallister Killian associé à un autisme et à un retard mental profond. Les comport...
The purpose of the present article was to assess the available literature concerning pain and autism. First, authors summarized the published articles on pain reactivity in people with autism. Second, the hypotheses envisaged to explain the presence of expressive particularities in people with autism spectrum disorders were reviewed; these included...

Children with an intellectual disability (ID) are sometimes unable to verbalize and describe their painful experience; therefore family members and health carers can assess the intensity of the pain only from the behaviour exhibited by the children.
The purpose of this descriptive and exploratory study was to examine the behavioural pain expression...
Because children's anxiety influences pain perception, perioperative anxiety should be evaluated in clinical practice with a unique, useful, and valid tool to optimize pain management. In this study, we evaluated psychometric properties of the visual analog scale (VAS)-anxiety for children and to study its perioperative relevance in clinical practi...
This study has used an Item Response Theory model (IRT model), specifically the Rasch model, to construct a new observational scale for the assessment of pain in infants less than 36 months old. Results showed that the Rasch model is ideally suited to building an assessment instrument for postoperative pain in this particular age group. Indeed, bas...
The purpose of this study was to examine the development and construction of vocal and verbal expression of postoperative pain in young children with limited linguistic abilities. The main objective was to highlight specific pain vocalizations, which may lead to easy and quick detection and assessment of postoperative pain relative to the age of th...
