This trial aims to compare two training programs for children suffering functional abdominal pain. These two programs are comparable in number of sessions and group sizes, but show differences in content (very focused on pain management vs. more general information and support). Focus of the trial is the evaluation of "Stop the pain", which has shown high effectiveness in one first trial. This time, five clinics, experienced in diagnosis and treatment of childhood chronic abdominal pain, will take part. Children aged 7-12 years are eligible. The programs imply six weekly group sessions for the children and 2 parent evenings. The study group assumes that participation in "Stop the pain" will reduce pain experience and will improve the children's quality of life and coping strategies - up to 12 months after training.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Pain Symptoms | Primary efficacy endpoint is the frequency and intensity of pain (composite score) over the course of treatment and follow-up (pre, post, 3 and 12 months follow-up). This primary outcome will be assessed by pain diary in children's self-report (over 2 weeks).Statistically, the primary endpoint of the study is defined as the change of the logarithm of the area under the pain-intensity curve over one week from start of treatment to 12 month follow-up. The area under the pain intensity curve (auc) is a measure that reflects pain intensity as well as pain duration and pain frequency and thus can be understood as a composite measure of pain. | up to 21 days pre intervention, up to 21 days post intervention, 3 month-follow-up, 12 month-follow-up | |
Secondary | Pain-related impairment | A measure for child's functional disability due to pain. The measure is one scale score and covers the level of impairment in everyday activitites due to abdominal pain by 12 items, e.g. reading, meeting friends, family life. The secondary outcome variable will be assessed by self-report questionnaire (pre, post, 3- and 12 months follow-up). | up to 21 days pre intervention, up to 21 days post intervention, 3 month-follow-up, 12 month-follow-up | |
Secondary | Health-related quality of life | The secondary outcome variable will be assessed by self-report questionnaire (pre, post, 3- and 12 months follow-up). | up to 21 days pre intervention, up to 21 days post intervention, 3 month-follow-up, 12 month-follow-up | |
Secondary | Pain-related coping and cognitions | The secondary outcome variable will be assessed by self-report questionnaire (pre, post, 3- and 12 months follow-up). | up to 21 days pre intervention, up to 21 days post intervention, 3 month-follow-up, 12 month-follow-up |
