Abstract

Since 2011, the Internal Medicine Ward for Adolescents of the Clinique FSEF Paris 16 has admitted adolescents with chronic pain who dropped out of school to its Hospital School Program, which focuses on evaluating and treating their pain and returning them to school. Dropping out of school is a severity criterion for chronic pain in adolescence. The Hospital School Program uses drug-free techniques, medical consultation with a pain doctor, psychiatric care, and adapted schooling. The main indication for this program is chronic pain, with or without a physical condition, associated with school dropout and failed ambulatory pain management. These Hospital School stays stop the cycle of pain, school dropout and social deprivation, allowing the adolescent to take a step back and decenter their pain.
