Abstract

Chronic pain has been found to have a negative impact on social and emotional functioning; however, these studies have typically focused either on functioning using combined samples of various pain conditions or on a single isolated condition. As a result, little is known about the differences between the various pediatric chronic pain disorders in terms of psychological functioning profiles, which can have a significant impact on associated pain disability. The purpose of the current study was to examine anxiety and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents (ages 10-18) diagnosed with juvenile primary fibromyalgia (JFM; N = 151) or Chronic Daily Headache (CDH; N = 168), and to assess the association of these symptoms with respective pain-related disability.
