FEATURE | SHERRY Children with diffuse pain or fibromyalgia may have more long-term pain, depending on the treatment and study (17, 19). However, 11 of 15 school children identified on screening to have fibromyalgia resolved their fibromyalgia after 30 months (20). It is important to realize that these children were not seeking medical help when diagnosed. Cognitive-behavior therapy alone was employed in five girls with fibromyalgia, and four reported no pain 10 months later (21). Children with amplified musculoskeletal pain may develop other bodily pains such as headache and abdominal pain (8). In the children we have followed, unresolved psychological issues contributed to nonpainful poor outcomes such as conversion reactions, eating disorders, school avoidance, suicide attempts, and acting out behaviors. Summary AMPLIFIED MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN IN CHILDREN may vary from localized CRPS to widespread, total body pain. Children with amplified musculoskeletal pain all suffer significant pain and disability and need compassionate care that should include a timely and accurate diagnosis, explanation of the possible causes of pain, and an effective therapeutic approach (see Table 2). The diagnosis involves excluding conditions that can cause pain and by the typical pattern manifest in most with amplified musculoskeletal pain. The psychological aspects involved should be formally assessed in all children. Intense exercise therapy along with desensitization is the treatment of choice and of great benefit to most. Normal function, at a minimum, should be restored, and reflected in school attendance and social and sports activities. In those in whom the pain continues, cognitive-behavior therapy or more formal psychotherapy should be pursued. Pharmacological agents should be limited to specific indications, not pain. Children with amplified musculoskeletal pain and their families challenge one’s diagnostic and therapeutic skills, but the outcome is rewarding. Rarely can we so significantly alter the course of a condition that renders children completely debilitated as we can in those who suffer with amplified musculoskeletal pain. 6. Malleson, P.N., M.Y.
