Clinical Trial Summary

With this randomized controlled trial, we have three aims. First of all, to investigate underlying mechanisms that might contribute to the success of a physical activity focused self-management program in paediatric chronic pain.

Second of all, to determine the minimum intervention needed for improving physical activity amongst adolescents who live with chronic pain. For this we are comparing an in-person and a video-based motivational interviewing training combined with self-management techniques.

Third of all, to investigate the mediating effect of autonomy in adolescents with chronic pain.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• In-person Motivational Interview combined with Self-Management techniques
This is an approximately 30 mins in-person, semi-structured, semi-personalized physical activity focused Motivational Interviewing treatment with self-management techniques. (This therapy is an add on to the "usual therapy" that is given to the adolescents who present at the hospital.) During the interactive treatment a self-management workbook will be filled out by the adolescent for the purpose of further data collection. This in-person therapy at the hospital is followed by two booster sessions via phone at the 1st week post meeting date and 1 month post meeting date.
• Video-based Motivational Interview combined with Self-Management techniques
This is a series of three videos comprising a structured activity focused Motivational Interviewing treatment with self-management techniques. The videos' thematic follow the semi-structured interview elements to ensure that it is a true sham of the in-person one. (This therapy is an add on to the "usual therapy" that is given to the adolescents who present at the hospital.) This first video is going to be watched by adolescents at the hospital. During the interactive video-treatment a self-management workbook will be filled out by the adolescent for the purpose of further data collection. The second video is going to be sent to the participants via e-mail on the 1st week post meeting date and the third video is on the 1-month post meeting date.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Child Self-Efficacy Scale	The Pain Self-efficacy Scale is a 7item measure assessing child self-efficacy for functioning normally when in pain (PSES-C, PSES-P; Bursch et al., 2006). An example item is "How sure are you that you can take care of yourself when you have pain?" Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale with lower scores indicating higher self-efficacy. Initial validation provided support for the measure's validity and reliability, and internal consistency in this sample was strong (a ¼ .90).	3 months
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	Pain Intensity cores were anchored at 0="no pain" to 100="unbearable pain", with higher scores reflecting greater pain intensity.	3 months
Secondary	Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale	Depression, Anxiety The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) is a 47-item, youth self-report questionnaire with subscales including: separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and low mood (major depressive disorder). It also yields a Total Anxiety Scale (sum of the 5 anxiety subscales) and a Total Internalizing Scale (sum of all 6 subscales). Additionally, The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale - Parent Version (RCADS-P) similarly assesses parent report of youth's symptoms of anxiety and depression across the same six subscales.	3 months
Secondary	State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children	Anxiety The STAI-CH is the definitive instrument for measuring anxiety in children. Based on the same theory as the STAI, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH) distinguishes between a general proneness to anxious behavior rooted in the personality and anxiety as a fleeting emotional state. The instrument is designed to be used with upper elementary or junior high school aged children and consists of two twenty-item scales. The measure is easy to read and can be administered verbally to younger children.	3 months
Secondary	Paediatric Pain Disability Index	Disability Each of the 7 items is rated on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 means no disability and 10 means total disability.; PDI results range from 0 to 70 where the higher the score, the greater the degree of disability and impact on life activities due to pain.; The PDI is used for initial evaluations and for monitoring pain relief effectiveness and response to other interventions.	3 months
Secondary	Pain Stages of Change Questionnaire for Adolescents and for Parents	Readiness to change The 30-item PSOCQ-A and -P measures include parallel items rated on a 5-point scale: 1="Strongly Disagree", 2="Disagree", 3="Undecided or Unsure", 4="Agree", 5="Strongly Agree". Greater readiness to change was conceptualized as lower Precontemplation and/or higher Action/Maintenance scores, while less readiness to change was represented by higher Precontemplation and/or lower Action/Maintenance scores.	3 months
