BACKGROUND Emerging adulthood between the ages of 18 and 25 are vulnerable years that offer many opportunities and simultaneously represent huge challenges for autonomy and identity development. Chronic pain in this vulnerable stage of life is associated with long-term negative consequences. So far, knowledge regarding the effectiveness of treatment offers for this patient group is scarce. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a multimodal inpatient pain therapy for young adults with chronic pain. In addition, the change and influence of the autonomy development will be investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present longitudinal study examined the effectiveness of a 3-week multimodal inpatient pain treatment in young adults with chronic pain. Three-month follow-up data from 74 patients aged 18-25 years (75.7% female) were included in the study. Standardized questionnaires were used to investigate pain characteristics, pain-associated and emotional impairments quality of life, and various facets of autonomy. RESULTS The results show that pain-related and emotional impairments are significantly reduced after therapy. Furthermore, there is a significant improvement in the quality of life and resilience. The increased quality of life and reduced pain-related and emotional impairment are associated with a gain of autonomy convictions. DISCUSSION Multimodal inpatient pain treatment seems to be effective during emerging adulthood. Autonomy convictions seem to be an important starting point for therapeutic success and have a modulating importance in terms of positive changes in emotional impairment and quality of live. Therefore, this aspect should be considered when pain treatment offers are developed for this age group.
