Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This qualitative study will elicit the perspectives of trained specialists on this diagnosis: how do they deal with these patients? What signs and symptoms helps them? The results will present their clinical experiences. The overall goal is to construct the first chronic musculoskeletal pain multidimensional scale that will help the practitioners with this complex diagnosis.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Most of the time this task is a complex one and professionals have to build their diagnostic on a body of clinical, paraclinical and more social, familial and psychological evidences. No clear protocol exists to help the professionals with differentiating the continuing activity of a somatic problem, some painful sequelae, a low threshold for the perception of pain, and psychological symptoms with somatic expression. This diagnostic process is lying on sub-clinical symptoms that investigators have to elicit in order to help professionals to better support their patients.
This qualitative study will explore the daily clinical experience of the health professionals involved in the care of adolescents suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain. Semi-structured interviews will be analyzed with a phenomenological approach (interpretative phenomenological analysis). The rich phenomenological description will be the first step of a more ambitious project of constructing a multidimensional scale that will help the practitioners with this complex diagnosis.
