Abstract

Despite evidence of sex-related differences in pain sensitivity and vulnerability in adults and of certain chronic pain conditions originating in childhood, few studies have examined the impact of sex and age on the recovery of children experiencing chronic pain. The present study examined sex and age related differences in the long-term outcomes of children, adolescents, and young adults, who experienced a diverse array of chronic pain conditions as children. Trained interviewers surveyed a representative cohort of 189 children with chronic pain, an average of 3 years after their last appointment at the Chronic Pain Clinic, The Hospital for Sick Children.
