Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aims of this study are to explore what beliefs children and adolescents manifest about the cause of the pain they describe; to compare whether if there are differences between beliefs by age and by persistence of pain; and to relate explanations of the cause of pain with current scientific evidence to determine if these beliefs are erroneous.

Explanations of the cause of pain

When analyzing the responses to the question "Why do you think you have or have had this pain?" two themes emerged from the data: 'explanations associated with damage', and 'explanations not associated with damage'.

The themes were sub-classified into sub-themes, according to the type of explanation
