Findings on the short- and long-term effectiveness of intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) for children with severe chronic functional pain are promising. However, a definitive appraisal of long-term effectiveness cannot be made due to a lack of comparison groups. The aim of the present study was to compare the health status of former patients with the health status of an age- and sex-matched comparison group from the community.

患有严重慢性疼痛的儿童的长期结果：社区样本前患者的比较

对患有严重慢性功能性疼痛的儿童进行强化跨学科疼痛治疗 (IIPT) 的短期和长期有效性的研究结果很有希望。然而，由于缺乏对照组，无法对长期有效性进行明确的评估。本研究的目的是比较前患者的健康状况与来自社区的年龄和性别匹配的对照组的健康状况。
