The interplay between pain and disease activity: personal models of pain beliefs and emotional representations in children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in a UK nationwide prospective inception cohort
This is the first study to compare "personal models" of pain in JIA. Children and young people who experience high pain severity regardless of disease activity perceived high pain threat, low controllability, and negative emotional representations. This highlights the importance of considering and addressing personal models of pain at diagnosis, especially those who present high levels of pain.
